ASSEMBLY WOULD REAFFIRM RIGHT OF PALESTINIAN PEOPLE TO SELF-DETERMINATION, WITHOUT EXCLUDING OPTION OF STATE, BY THIRD COMMITTEE TEXT

19981119 CORRECTION

In Press Release GA/SHC/3509 of 16 November, the last paragraph on page 25 should read as follows:

AHMET ARDA (Turkey), speaking in exercise of the right of reply, in response to the explanation of vote by the representative of Syria, said Turkey did not invade nor occupy Iraq. The territorial integrity of Iraq was important to Turkey. But it was Iraq's problem if it could not control its territory. The way to control a territory was by ensuring security provisions. Turkey could not allow neighbouring territory to be used as terrorist bases to launch attacks against it.
