(Translated from the Turkish original available at http://www.sagduyupartisi.org/ ) A Statement by Muharrem Nureddin Cosan, the Founder of Commonsense Party: March 20, 2003 Our Lord!  Save us from the Fire! Regardless of the reasons, we must not take the wrong side in this "Armageddon War" that has been declared unilaterally by bloodthirsty monsters.  It has no legitimate and justifiable causes;  it is supported only by unsubstantiated proofs and intelligence reports. The intention of our administrators may be to maximize the national benefits, reschedule our debts, vitalize our economy, and save us from some dangers; however, there is a great danger of being subjected to a dividing influence by a power that does not share information or real intent with anybody. We approve the cooperation and coalition with the west for the points that are beneficial to our people.  We must not be forced to accepting any regulations that would alter our culture, civilization, and belief.  We will not give up our values that keep us united in exchange of the imported and unnatural values. Do not let intense domestic and international speculations and manipulations fool you and prevent you from taking the right steps.  Our final word on taking a stance in support of America is “NO!”    nureddincosan@sagduyupartisi.org sagduyu@sagduyu.org
