thousand people were provided food from the TRC's

SIPDIS 
Incirlik AFB in order to change aircraft. 
Rumsfeld, who did not visit Ankara, hid himself 
from the reporters who attended the ONW 
conclusion ceremonies at the base on May 1. It is 
reported no one in Turkey knew about Rumsfeld's 
visit to Incirlik AFB except a few high-ranking 
officials. It is unknown whether or not the 
Defense Minister met with Turkish General Asparuk 
who attended the ONW ending ceremonies. 
 
 
6.  Cumhuriyet/Hurriyet/Turkiye/Bolge: The 
Catalan Potable Water Treatment Center began 
operations yesterday after a Municipal Ceremony

permission to hold a meeting on May 1 and 
picketed at the entrance of governorate building 
in the morning. After lunch, Bektasoglu was 
called into the governor's office. It is claimed 
that Governor Cos squeezed Bektasoglu's throat 
and threatened that he would fill Bektasoglu's 
mouth with bullets if he continued engaging in 
such activities. 
 
 
ECONOMIC AND AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTS 
 
 
8.  Radikal: The President of the Chamber of 
Commerce and Industry of Diyarbakir, Kutbettin 
Arzu, said the economy in the region has been in 
an extremely difficult situation since September 
2001 because trade from the Habur Border gate 
with Iraq ended. Everybody is hoping that the 
border trade would start again. Arzu claimed that 
opening the border trade would cause a boom in 
production and revive many sectors. With 
conclusion of the war, people, hopeful trade will 
resume, have been trying to buy trucks from all 
parts of Turkey. The prices for trucks in the 
region have increased between USD 6,500 and USD 
13,000. Bedrettin Karaboga, the President of 
GUNSIAD -Southeastern Industrialists and 
Businessmen Association-, also expressed that 
Habur Border Gate was vital for the economy of 
the region. Karaboga mentioned the border trade 
would also play a great role in the rebuilding of 
Iraq in addition to the UN contracts. Karaboga 
claimed Iran exported a large quantity of goods 
to Iraq and Syria sent many trucks of TV-dishes 
that had been banned in Iraq for 15 years. 
Karaboga added that the Habur Border Gate had 
been closed since September 11, 2001, for 
security considerations. Approximately three 
hundred thousand people were hurt from the 
closure of the gate.
