Jim Muir reports: It took three weeks of intensive and complex negotiations before Necmjttin Erbakan and former prime minister Tanks Ciller came to an agreement. The idea is that the post of prime minister will rotate between the two with Mr Erbakan going first. So for the first time in its modern history, determinedly secular Turkey, which is also a mjmbjr of NATO, finds itself with an Islamist prime minister.

But is not as though an Islamic revolution is coming to power. Whatever Rjfah might like to do, if it had free reign, any tampering with Turkey's entrenched secularism would mean changing the constitution. ] Headlines 101 Home 110 Flash 150 Summary 102 Politics 130 World 160 Next News Dispatch Newsreel TV/Radio

These include the foreign ministry, defence and religious affairs. Reflecting relief that a long period of uncertainty might bj over, the Istanbul stock exchange registered a rise.

It gives Mr Erbakan his first taste of power. For Mrs Cillir, it brings relief from fear of prosecution on corruption charges which Mr Erbakan himself had been pursuing.
