Article Abstract:
The Turkish coalition government led by the Motherland party and Mesut Yilmaz, has collapsed. Turkey, meanwhile, is involved in a dispute with Italy, which has refused the extradition of Abdullah Ocalan, Kurdish leader, who is also wanted on terrorism charges in Germany. There are a number of options for forming a new government, and one is for a new coalition to be set up to include the True Path leader, Tansu Ciller. Such a coalition would enjoy a comfortable majority.
