Yurdatapan was recently awarded the Global Rights Defenders award by Human
Rights Watch. He said today: "Turkey is boiling. Ninety percent of the
people are against an attack on Iraq. We are shocked at the depictions we
see of the situation in the U.S. media. People here are not unhappy with
NATO. No one here is with Saddam, we know the horrors he has done, but --
outside of a tiny minority which is hoping to benefit -- nobody wants this."

Senior research fellow at the World Policy Institute, Hartung has written
several articles on NATO. He said today: "The flap between the U.S. and its
NATO allies over when and how to provide assistance to Turkey in the event
of a war in Iraq underscores the contradictions inherent in keeping NATO on
life support in a post-Cold War environment. The Warsaw Pact has long since
gone onto the dust heap of history and NATO deserves the same fate."
