Title: Kosovo's Turks: 80% have left the province since KFOR arrived
PRISTINA - Ethnic Turkish community leader in Kosovo-Metohija
Zejnelabadin Kureis met in Kosovo- Metohija's city of Pristina on
Wednesday with Major Roland Lavoie of the international KFor force.
Kureis, member of the ethnic Turkish Democratic Party Main Board, told
reporters after the meeting they had discussed the present unfavourable
position of ethnic Turks in that U.N.-administered province of the
Yugoslav republic of Serbia.
Before NATO's air strikes on Yugoslavia from March 24 to June 10, the
ethnic Turkish community in Kosovo-Metohija had numbered more than
50,000 members, and had enjoyed all rights, Kureis said.
They had had dozens of primary and secondary schools and even
university-level education in their mother-tongue, as well as societies
for promoting their national identity and culture, he added.
Television and radio programme in the Turkish language had been
broadcast from studios in the province's cities of Pristina, Kosovska
Mitrovica, Prizren and Gnjilane, and they had printed a daily newspaper
and several magazines, he went on to say.
When the air strikes started, more than 10,000 Turks fled Kosovo-
Metohija, and another 30,000 have left since the deployment of KFor, he
said.
According to Kureis, nobody guarantees the remaining ethnic Turks'
safety of person and property, and a large number of them are living on
a subsistence level.
