"MOTHERS FOR PEACE" INT CONGREES FORWARDS APPEAL TO KOFI ANNAN

( Editorial: --> 4165 ) ZAGREB, June 27 (Hina) - The "Mothers for Peace" international peace congress on Saturday forwarded an appeal to UN Secretary- General Kofi Annan. The congress, which began in Zagreb on Friday, gathers more than 200 women from Croatia and the world. It is being held under the high patronage of Croatian President Franjo Tudjman. In their appeal, the participants in the congress supported Annan's decision by which the Secretary-General approved a NATO intervention in the south Yugoslav province of Kosovo unless a political solution to the crisis in the area is reached. We mothers of Croatia and the whole world expect the violence against innocent victims will be stopped. We demand that (Yugoslav President Slobodan) Milosevic's eight-year-long aggression in these areas be stopped, the appeal said. (hina) ha 271605 MET jun 98
