BURMESE FM SAYS DEMOCRACY WILL EXIST WITHOUT SUU KYI
29.7.97/THAILAND TIMES
AP

KUALA LUNIPUR: Burma does not need Nobel Prize laureate Aung San
Suu Kyi to achieve democracy, the country's foreign minister said
yesterday.

"With or without her there will be democracy. With or without
dialogue there will be democracy," Foreign Minister Ohn Gyaw
said. "We arc trying to build a system not with a person but with
the people of the country."

Western nations have urged Burma's military government to begin a
dialogue with Suu Kyi, whose political party won 1990 elections
but was prevented from taking power. The government, however, has
not responded and has tightened restrictions on her party.

Burma's slow pace in democratic reforms has been severely
criticized by the United States and other nations in meetings
I over the past several days with the Association of Southeast
Asian Nations, which admitted the country as a new member last
Wednesday.

Ohn Gyaw acknowledged that the pace may be seem slow, but said
the government must take time to achieve 'real unity' among the
country's many minorities.

"This particular period ... is very important and delicate in our
contemporary history," he said in an interview with CNN
television .

Western leaders who have opposed Burma's membership in ASEAN.
however. were far from satisfied with Ohn Gyaw ' s explanation.

"We regard the performance (of Burma government) as completely
unacceptable," Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer told
reporters.

Australia, Canada, the United States and others said ASEAN should
now use its increased influence with Burma to encourage it to
institute democratic changes.

"We do not ask ASEAN to impose a solution on Burma from the
outside: but rather to accept that a lasting solution cannot be
imposed by force from within, either." US Secretary of State
Madeleine Albnght said.
