	Turkey Loses Ozal at A Crucial Moment
		The sudden death of Turkish President Turgut Ozal in April at the age of 66 created a political vacuum in a major country whose stability the world has taken for granted for too long.
		Ozal's death could have been a disaster for hopes for peace, since he has recognized that Turkey cannot afford to embark on nationalist adventures which would alienate its Western allies.
		Ozal sought to reduce the long-standing conflict with the Kurds in southeastern Turkey by permitting the use of the Kurdish language.

	DefenseLink Speech:
		Perhaps Turgut Ozal was well prepared for the trials he encountered as Turkey’s leader because, from relatively humble origins, he worked his way up to the most important positions in his country.
		Ozal was a statesman who confidently took his place on the world stage, and as a close friend of President George H.W. Bush, or Number 41 as we like call him, he understood that Turkey had a responsibility as a regional power to join with other nations in standing up for what is right.
		Turgut Ozal was a man deeply devoted to Islam, but also a man, as journalists have noted, who was "as comfortable with Western leaders as in a Mosque." Ozal understood that the separation of religion from the state can be completely compatible with personal piety, and he offered as proof his own example.

	Turkish Foreign Policy
		The first phase may be called the overriding personal approach, and was closely associated with the figure of Turgut Ozal, who dominated Turkish politics from the ebb of military power in the mid-1980s through to the ousting of his protégé Yilderim Akbulut as premier in 1991.
		The period of the pursuit of an enhanced, personalised foreign policy is most closely identified with Turgut Ozal, who was Turkish prime minister between 1983 and 1989 and president of the republic between 1989 and his death in 1993.
		Turkish foreign policy may have been low key and unadventurous during this period, and certainly eschewed the grand initiatives of the Ozal period, but, with instability and even conflict all around, this ‘softly, softly’ approach was the perfect antidote to the tumultuous conditions of the day.

		Ozal was in the middle of an ambitious reform program when he made a serious political error.
		In an age in which the Reagans, the Thatchers, and the Ozals have gone, sadly replaced by politicians who shift with every breeze and read polls rather than history, recalling Turgut Ozal is one of life’s little pleasures.
