... 1998

In its Report of 1998, the Commission concluded that: ``On the political side, the evaluation highlights certain anomalies in the functioning of the public authorities, persistent human rights violations and major shortcomings in the treatment of minorities. The lack of civilian control of the army give cause for concern. This is reflected by the major role played by the army in political life through the National Security Council. A civil, non-military solution must be found to the situation in south-eastern Turkey, particularly since many of the violations of civil and political rights observed in the country are connected with this issue. The Commission acknowledges the Turkish government's commitment to combat human rights violations in the country but this has not so far had any significant effect in practice. The process of democratic reform on which Turkey embarked in 1995 must continue. In addition to these problems, Turkey must make a constructive contribution to the settlement of all disputes with various countries by peaceful means in accordance with international law''. Issues such as civilian control over the military, persistent human rights violations, torture as well as lack of protection for cultural rights have been mentioned in the subsequent reports.
