TNI SUPPORTS RECONCILIATION EFFORT TO SOLVE ACEH PROBLEM

Surabaya, E Java, Jan 29 (ANTARA) - The Indonesian Defense Force
(TNI) will maintaining its support for the government's
reconciliation approach to the Aceh Free Movement (GAM) though
the separatist organization has killed many military and police
personnel, Deputy Commander of TBJ Gen. Fachrul Razi said here
Saturday.

"TNI will keep on supporting the government's efforts, including
the reconciliation attempt as revealed by Presiden Abdurrahman
Wahid," he said.

On the increasing number of casualties on the military side,
Razi, a native of Aceh said "That is the risk of a job. GAM
members are Indonesians, we therefore keep on trying to reach
reconciliation."

Meanwhile, on the number of GAM members who have surrendered and
pledged loyalty to the republic, the 1970 military Academy
graduate said many others still continued their movement.

But the TNI will always open to them if they want to join the
people, he added.

On followed-up guidance for the ex-GAM members, he said it has
not yet been made as it has to wait the result of a planned
dialogue between the government and the GAM.

During the dialogue, he said, TNI will protect GAM figures
taking part in it.
