- President TURGUT OZAL of Turkey is angry because nearly
- $1 billion in assistance from the government of Kuwait has yet
- to be delivered. The Kuwaitis promised Ozal the money last
- autumn as thanks for his country's membership in the anti-Iraq
- coalition. The Turks claim they lost millions of dollars in fees
- by shutting down an Iraqi oil pipeline that cut through Turkish
- soil. U.S. officials are pressuring the Kuwaitis to pony up a
- substantial chunk of the aid before President Bush visits Turkey
- later this month.
