Hijackers Seem to Ease Their Threat to Blow Up Turkish Ferry
1996
Overview
The hijacking could further harm Turkey's tense relations with Russia, its giant neighbor to the north. Russian officials, who suspect that Turks harbor a secret sympathy with their Muslim cousins in Chechnya, said today that they had warned Turkey that Chechen rebels were building a support network on Turkish soil, and that Turkish officials had ignored their warnings. On Wednesday, the official Turkish news agency reported that the chief of Turkey's intelligence service had struck a deal with the hijackers, agreeing to allow them to dock at Istanbul and give a news conference if they would free their hostages. Today, however, the news agency said it had confused the identity of the Turk who was speaking with the hijackers by radio. He turned out to be not the intelligence chief, Sonmez Baykan, but Sonmez Koksal, head of a Turkish organization that supports Caucasian causes.
