the accuracy of the reports summarized here.

ZAMAN:  Abdullah Torun, Adana deputy from AKP; Cahit Kirac, 
Adana Governor; Alper Akinoglu, Cukurova University's Rector; 
Omer Topcu, Yuregir District Mayor; Walter Scott Reid, U.S. 
Consul to Adana; honorary consuls of Finland and Germany 
participated in the cocktail in Adana that marked the 161st 
anniversary of the Turkish National Police. 
 
ZAMAN / EKSPRES / BOLGE / RADIKAL / CUMHURIYET: As a result of 
an attack carried out by a leftist oriented group with clubs and 
stones on an art exhibition in Cukurova University in Adana six 
students have been wounded and hospitalized at the Balcali 
Hospital of the University.  (Note: Zaman daily noted that the 
group was comprised of TKP communist party members. End Note.) 
Radikal daily noted that health condition of two people were

The painter, who condemned the attack, is known for his stance 
opposing oppression against the Turkish minority in Bulgaria. 
 
SABAH (GUNEY):  Police Week has been celebrated in many parts 
of the southeastern region including Mersin, Adana, 
Kahramanmaras, Gaziantep, Hatay and Sanliurfa. 
 
OZGUR GUNDEM / CUMHURIYET:      Following the ceremonies held to 
celebrate the Police Week in Diyarbakir, Police College students 
marched from Governor's Office to the Ofis quarter of Diyarbakir 
and chanted these slogans, "This country is Turkey", "Unity in 
the country", "Homeland cannot be separated."  The daily noted 
that the students' march was not a scheduled activity of the 
police week celebrations.  While some news agencies announced 
that Mayor Osman Baydemir, despite the fact that he was invited, 
did not attend the ceremonies, Ozgur Gundem daily reported that 
Baydemir was not invited.  Meanwhile, Radikal daily quoted a 
speech of Diyarbakir Governor Efkan Ala as follows, "People who

press demands for democracy."

the Hakkari Mountain and Commando Brigade.  Commanders later 
paid visits to Yuksekova, Semdinli, and Cukurca to inspect the

Border Brigade Ozkok said, "Nobody will be able to replace the

remained adamant in his commitment to unity and solidarity of 
the country, remained loyal to his duties, and acted in a 
self-sacrificing manner."
