			SAUDI ARABIA PUTS ITS WEIGHT BEHIND ITS EFFORTS TO END THE BLOODSHED IN ALGERIA. The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Ibn Abdul Aziz: We urge compliance with God's will and call for reason to prevail so that security can return to Algeria.   THE TROIKA MISSION FACES MANY OBSTACLES. The European role in Algeria is limited by its nature and does not allow for effective measures. The Saudi initiative represents the only hope amidst the darkness of the massacres.   BRITISH VIEW OF SAUDI JUSTICE. Public opinion in Britain rejects attempts to distort the image of Saudi justice. Ambassador Algosaibi: We will not allow any foreign party to interfere in our affairs.   "THE STEADFASTNESS OF THE SAUDI LEADERS HAS RESCUED KUWAIT FROM THE INVASION". The former British Foreign Secretary Douglas Hurd: "If we pressed onto Baghdad, we would have been able to overthrow the Government of Saddam Hussein". We liberated Kuwait to reverse the aggression and not because of the oil.   TURKEY: SECULARISM IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN DEMOCRACY. THE PEACE PROCESS: WHO CAN HELP WHO? PRODUCTION OF OIL AND NATURAL GAS IN THE CASPIAN. SYMPOSIUM ON SAUDI ARABIA.
