             Nobel winner marks Burma's annulled election 

             The Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi has
             delivered a speech to a gathering of about five-hundred
             supporters to mark the ninth anniversary of Burma's
             election which was annulled by the military regime. 

             Her party, the National League for Democracy, won the
             1990 election by a huge margin but the military has
             never let the parliament meet. 

             Meanwhile a senior member of the military government,
             Lieutenant-General Khin Nyunt, used the anniversary to
             say Burma is on the right political track. 

             He again said that the administration is laying the
             foundation for the establishment of a democratic system.
