CU: (SOUNDBITE) (ENGLISH) DEMIREL SAYING "Let me emphasise that the Greek's continued support for the PKK terrorist organisation represents nothing but a grave violation of international law. Today every civilised country has certain committments in the fight against terrorism. Therefore by getting court in this involvment in terrorism, Greece has proved that it does not belong to the civilised world - accordingly it should be put on the list of countries supporting terrorism and harbouring terrorists. Such a country can only be defined as a rogue state........Nevertheless we want to give Greece one small chance - in this context I would like to call once again on the Greek authorities to live up to their committments under international law, like the civilised and law-abiding countries should do. But if they choose to continue with their unlawful behaviour we reserve our right in international law to take necessary precautions in self-defence. 5.09 MANILA, PHILIPPINES (FEBRUARY 22, 1999) (REUTERS - ACCESS ALL) 28.
