Believe me, I appreciate how much history lies behind this troubled relationship. But people are beginning to see the possibilities that can be created by a new and better history. Prime Minister Ecevit's government has taken important strides in that direction. I agree with something he once said to me: There is just as much history and geography uniting you across the Aegean as there is dividing you. Greece is also taking some risks for peace and recognizing - as never before- that Turkey's destiny lies in Europe.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPERCAPTION: Bill Clinton, U-S President  \u003cbr/\u003eClinton also considered Turkey's regional role as a stable power bordering the 12 independent nations have emerged from the ruins of the Soviet empire. \u003cbr/\u003eIn a clear message to Moscow, Clinton said that it is an important challenge for Turkey to help the fledgling states develop stable, independent, democratic societies.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"There is still much to be done.

But there still is\u003cbr/\u003efar more to be done to realize the promise of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, articulated at the very moment our two countries entered into close relations 50 years ago.
