Last week there were some glimmerings of hope that progress could finally be made. After two months without an effective government, Turkey at last had one; on the very day that Greek voters gave Caramanlis his mandate, Turkish President Fahri Korutü named Sadï Irmak, 70, an appointed Senator who does not belong to any party, as Premier of a caretaker regime.
