ISTANBUL/ ANKARA
n Istanbul prosecutor has
"mistakenly" invited the
country's main opposi-
tion leader to testify as a suspect
in an undisclosed investigation,
prompting reactions both from
the main opposition and the rul-
ing parties.

Israel will only find peace
with Palestine when it first

cording to the latter's presi-

"Since the

ders are. We are determined
to know our borders and
theirs, without that there will
be no peace," he said yester-
day amid growing pessimism
of a lasting deal, especially fol-
lowing Israel's continued in-
sistence on building settle-
ments on Palestinian land.

"One should do whatever be-

pose he still deems himself a pas-

time and he is looking with that

he said in an apparent reference
to the fact that Gauck was a for-
mer East German Lutheran pas-
tor who campaigned for the 1989
fall of the Berlin Wall.

ANKARA
Abdullah Öcalan, the jailed lead-

Workers' Party (PKK), is not in
line for house arrest, according to
Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag.
"We do not have a study con-
cerning house arrests. We don't
have such an idea either," he
said yesterday, one day after the
guerilla leader's sister, Fatma
Ocalan, called for Öcalan to be
given house arrest.

One of the Muslim Brotherhood
members who was sentenced to
death in a mass ruling on April
28 has said the decision was an
honor for him, suggesting that
justice is "dead" in the country.
"The decision is not only
made up of executions. The im-
portant thing is where is Egypt
headed? We see that the prin-
ciple of justice has ended. The
country is ridiculed in the
world," said Shaban Omar, the
provincial Muslim Brotherhood
(Ikhwan) leader of Minya. "But
death from execution is a great
honor for us ... I will be a mar-
tyr if they kill me ... By the resis-
tance of free people, God willing,
the coup will end."
The United Nations, the Unit-
ed States, the European Union
and rights groups have all con-
demned the death sentences
handed to 683 brotherhood sup-
porters.

China's largest listed bank, the In-

agreed to pay 669 million Turk-
ish Liras ($314.73 million) for GSD

Tekstilbank and GSD shares

8.85 percent yesterday afternoon,

lowing the announcement of
the deal. Borsa Istanbul said the
shares were halted upon the two
companies' requests, according
to an announcement made to the
Public Disclosure Platform (KAP).
GSD, a Turkey-based hold-
ing company, currently controls
75.5 percent of the Turkish lender,
while the remaining 24.6 percent
is traded on the stock exchange.
