Young and old make it every year, wandering quietly through the birch groves and lilac trees that now cover the trenches. What was new though, was the arrival of 10 not one president but two: Boris Yeltsin and Mikhail Gorbachev.With just over norwich a month to the presidential election, both men had chosen to make the 500-mile journey from Moscow to campaign in htm this industrial city on the 2006 same day. But 28 what this city, now Volgograd, remembered most parade was the 1.2 million Soviet soldiers in the battle of Stalingrad, one of index the war's bloodiest episodes, which reduced the Photos place to ruins.Thousands of people trekked up the hill, norwich parade index htm now 28 a index norwich parade index htm monument, past the wreckage of their city walls, past giant speakers booming out the sound of Russian missiles, past the ornamental pond htm - yesterday coloured blood-red and full of floating 2006 tulips - and into the Pantheon, whose mosaic 10 walls carry the names of thousands 10 who died.The journey, which images ends at the crest beneath the statue of Mother Russia, a 170ft sword-wielding woman who is so tall that she carries aircraft warning lights, images is familiar enough to almost every resident. Whoever held its brow controlled 28 Stalingrad and a 2006 great curve of the parade Volga river below, its norwich last bend before the Caspian Sea. Yesterday it was once again at the centre of a struggle to win the city - only this time, one waged by presidents. It images Photos 2006 10 28 was Victory Day in Russia, when the nation remembered the end of Photos the Second World War. When you climb the hill, you understand why the Red Army shed so much blood wresting it from parade Hitler's troops. Trying to divert attention cannot detract from the seriousness of the allegations."A commission was set up last month to study htm whether contracts with state-owned electricity company images Photos 2006 10 28 TEDAS were Photos manipulated to benefit the Cillers index and norwich their associates.Mr Yilmaz and Mrs Ciller, bitter rivals despite a shared pro-market vision, were images forced to form a coalition in March, after inconclusive elections..

The plan is to send Ciller to the Supreme Court and prevent her from becoming prime minister," Turkey's first woman leader told women activists from her True Path Party ahead of the vote.Mrs Ciller also warned that, should her coalition fall apart, overwhelmingly Muslim but secularist Turkey would see the Islamic Welfare Party poised for power.The normally reserved Mr Yilmaz returned to his campaign attacks on his rival-turned-partner "Mrs Ciller has no right to blame anyone else. Throughout the corruption row, the prime minister Mesut Yilmaz has resolutely refused to defend his partner, Mrs Ciller, leaving MPs from his Motherland Party (ANAP) free to vote as they choose.He and most of his MPs are expected to vote for a parliamentary investigation into the TOFAS sale. Separate corruption charges against Mrs Ciller were referred to a commission late last month.Either inquiry could lead to Mrs Ciller's impeachment by the Supreme Court, effectively killing off her bid to regain the premiership next January, as scheduled under the coalition deal."The beans have been spilled. Ankara - Turkey's parliament yesterday took up fresh corruption charges against the coalition partner, Tansu Ciller, in a growing scandal that threatens to sink the 50-day-old government. MPs began to debate a resolution, drafted by the opposition Islamists, accusing Mrs Ciller and her businessman husband of having meddled in the sale of state-owned shares in carmaker TOFAS during her recent tenure as prime minister. "Corruption was mixed into it, as Tansu Ciller opened the sealed tender offers - something she was not authorised to do - without the presence of any members of the [privatisation] commission," said the resolution, read aloud as the debate opened."The Privatisation Administration did not award the shares to those with the best price but to two separate consortia known to be close associates of the Cillers," it said.Mrs Ciller, a US-educated technocrat, has dismissed the charges as politically driven.

But without it, the NP was - and is - condemned to the life expectancy of a dodo. The Freedom Front has more to say to ethnically minded white Afrikaaners, and the ANC's gains in last November's Western Cape elections showed that the NP's coloured vote is highly vulnerable. But as a party grouped around core values, the new NP would be free of its ethnic, language and historical baggage.Building on Mr Kohl's model requires the creation of a centre-right party broad enough to integrate as many elements of the non-violent far-right as possible, while opening up to growing numbers of conservatively minded and increasingly middle class blacks.But for the moment, the collective body language of the NP leadership at yesterday's news conference shows - white ministers and provincial leaders took centre-stage behind Mr de Klerk while black members of the group dallied on the fringes - that Mr de Klerk and Mr Meyer have an uphill battle ahead of them if they are to tame the right wing and get the party back on the Volkspartei track.The ANC now has the greater freedom to manoeuvre in governing the country but it also will have to bear the responsibility for the results.. His job was to take the NP into the modern era, building alliances with Mr Buthelezi's IFP and the more liberal Democratic Party.The strategy called for patience - Mr Meyer said again this week that it might take ten years before the new NP could even think of winning a majority this side of the ANC.
