TURKEY'S PREMIER QUITS AFTER ELECTION
Turkish Prime Minister Tansu Ciller has
announced her resignation after losing
the general election.
She made the statement after the pro-

although its prospects of forming a
government remain uncertain.
The Islamic Welfare Party won the poll
with 21.32% of the vote. The centre-
right Motherland Party was second and
Mrs Ciller's True Path was third.
Mrs Ciller has ruled out a coalition
with the Islamic Welfare Party.
