These are some of the major headlines and their summaries in Turkish press on March 25, 2010. Cumhuriyet English does not verify these stories and does not vouch for their accuracy.
CUMHURIYET
UNPUBLISHED BOOK HUNT
Turkey has faced a practice that was not even seen during a martial rule. A publishing house, which was to publish a book by Ahmet Sik, a journalist arrested within the scope of Ergenekon investigation, titled "Imamin Ordusu" (The Army of Imam), was raided twice. The drafts of the book were seized from houses and workplaces of journalists and lawyers. The draft of the book in computers were erased. Those who refused to give the draft to security forces were threatened that they could be accused of "aiding and abetting the terrorist organization."
MOTION ADOPTED
After Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu briefed political parties, the prime ministry motion on sending troops to Libya was adopted in a secret parliament session with the support of the Republican People's Party (CHP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP). The parliament allowed the government to send troops to Libya for one year "to contribute to international efforts aiming to ensure Libya's stability."
HURRIYET
PARLIAMENT ACCEPTS LIBYA MOTION
Turkish Parliament adopted the Prime Ministry motion envisaging to send troops of Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) to join NATO's operation on Libya. Turkish soldiers will be on action off Libya for one year.
BAYDEMIR MOUNTS ON PANZER
Metropolitan Mayor Osman Baydemir of the southeastern province of Diyarbakir extended support to some members of Peace & Democracy Party (BDP) who have been making a "civil disobedience" protest. Baydemir suddenly mounted on a police panzer. Police officers warned him to come down, and informed the HQ. Baydemir made a victory sign with his fingers, and then he got angry and came down when the panzer moved. Meanwhile, police raided the tents erected by the BDP protestors in the eastern province of Batman and detained 74 people.
MILLIYET
RAID AGAINST A BOOK
When journalist Ahmet Sik was detained, he had completed writing a book named "Imam's Soldiers" about the Gulen community, however, the book had not been published yet. During the operation Sik was detained, the journalist was also asked questions about the book. Such development gave rise to discussions. Everybody sought a reply for this question: "Is it a crime to write a book?". As the discussion got bigger, the prosecutor's office and several politicians said that Sik had not been detained for writing a book, but on the charge of being a member of the armed terrorist organization Ergenekon.
CRUSADE COMPARISON IS IMPROPER
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan reacted to the remarks of a French minister who said French President Nicolas Sarkozy was "leading a Crusade" in Libya. "Very improper statements are being delivered. Those who just see oil in this region should start acting with conscience," Erdogan said.
RADIKAL
HUNT FOR AN UNPUBLISHED BOOK
For the first time in Turkey, a book was withdrawn before being published. Upon the demand of Ergenekon prosecutors, the court ruled that Ahmet Sik's draft book was an organizational document. Later, police forces staged operations against a publishing house, a newspaper, an office and a house, and deleted the copies of the book.
40,000 "IMPORTED ENGLISH TEACHERS" ON THE WAY
Turkish National Education Ministry will bring 40,000 native speaker English teachers from abroad within the scope of a project on "improvement of foreign language education". Foreign teachers will attend classes together with their Turkish colleagues. The ministry's project will last for 5 years and it will cost nearly 1.5 billion Turkish liras. As part of the project, foreign teachers will organize conversation classes for students and Turkish teachers, and they will assist in extra-curricular activities concerning the English language.
VATAN
SUPER OFFER FROM OMAN
Oman's Football Federation's chairman offered a three-year contract and ten million USD for each year to Turkish coach Fatih Terim. Terim wanted to think about the offer for a while. A short time ago, Qatar's Football Federation had offered a ten-year contract and 20 million USD annually to Barcelona's coach Josep Guardiola.
AND THIS HAPPENED TOO
A first happened in Turkey yesterday. The draft of Ergenekon detainee Ahmet Sik's book 'Imamin Ordusu' (The Army of Imam) was considered as "organizational document" with a verdict. Police raided the building of Radikal newspaper to demolish the draft. Police said that the book, which told about the Fethullah Gulen structuring in police departments, was written to give morale to Ergenekon (an alleged criminal network), and it was considered as an organizational document, not a book because it had not been published yet. On the basis of this decision, police raided Ithaki Publishing House, and the draft of the book was erased from computers. Then, police raided Radikal newspaper where Ahmet Sik was working. According to the decision of the court, those, who have a draft of the book but hide it, will be considered to have aided the organization.
SABAH
FROM ERDOGAN TO FRANCE: INCONSIDERATE
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan replied this way to French Interior Minister Claude Gueant, who defined the operation against Libya as a "Crusade." Erdogan said Turkey's European Union (EU) membership would make the East and the West understand each other. "However, some (people) did not want to perceive this. They are confusing the minds regarding the operation on Libya. Unfortunately, they are making inconsiderate definitions like 'Crusade'."
MOTION PASSED WITH LIGHT SPEED
The parliament adopted a government motion allowing the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) to send troops to foreign countries in order to ensure stability and security in Libya. Besides the ruling Justice & Development (AK) Party, the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) and other opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) backed the motion. The Peace & Democracy Party (BDP) voted against the motion, which will be valid for one year.
TURKIYE
TUNCEL ON STAGE AGAIN
Peace & Democracy Party (BDP) deputy Sebahat Tuncel, who slapped a police officer in the face in Silopi town of the eastern province of Tunceli, caused another chaos in Bilgi University yesterday. Tuncel said that she did not feel any regret for what she did. "The state should regret. I would like to slap the state, not a police officer," she added.
PARLIAMENT ADOPTS LIBYA MOTION
Turkish soldiers are on their way to Libya. Parliament, in a closed session, accepted the motion envisaging the troops of Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) to join NATO's naval forces in Libya for one year. Opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) and Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) backed the motion too.
YENI SAFAK
COMMAND BELONGS TO NATO
The uncompromising stance of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who warned that the intervention in Libya should not turn into an invasion, yielded to positive results. France, which attempted to act as the leader of the operation despite the UN decision on the matter, lost in the end, and the command of the operation was handed over to NATO in line with Turkey's demands.
LEAVE OIL ASIDE, LOOK WITH CONSCIENCE
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called out to the West which has set eyes on the underground richness of Libya. "I hope those who only see oil and gold mines when they look at the East and the South, will start looking at these regions with a little bit of conscience from now on," Erdogan said.
ZAMAN
HE WAS WELCOMED ENTHUSIASTICALLY IN INTERNATIONAL TURKISH SCHOOL IN GHANA
President Abdullah Gul was welcomed with an African dance at the International Galaxy School in Ghana. Gul visited classes, and watched a folk dance performance peculiar to Turkey's Black Sea coast. Students then sang songs and read poems.
IMMEDIATE DISCLAIMER FROM RASMUSSEN
The game of France, which wanted to hand over the command of the operation on Libya to NATO, was deteriorated. Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu called NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen and briefed him on France's theses. When Davutoglu said, "Arab countries do not want NATO either", he faced an unexpected reaction. Rasmussen said, "this is not true, the foreign minister of United Arab Emirates is beside me and he is not telling so. Arab countries want NATO to undertake the responsibility of the operation. I can put you through him and he can explain it to you." Foreign Minister Abdallah bin Zayid al Nuhayyan backed Turkey's reservations, and denied France. He said, "we do not have such a stance."
