RADIKAL / EVRENSEL / OZGUR GUNDEM / ZAMAN / HURRIYET:     The 
Prosecutor's Office at the Supreme Court of Appeals objected to 
the verdict that issued a 39-year-and-5-month prison sentence on 
June 2006 for Ali Kaya and Ozcan Ildeniz, two non-commissioned 
officers, who were convicted for their alleged crimes in the 
Semdinli bombing on November 9, 2005 in Hakkari's Semdinli 
district.   The grounds for objection cited by the Prosecutor's 
Office's were procedural inefficiencies, incompetent 
investigation process, and establishment of wrongful grounds 
when placing accusation against defendants during the trial. 
The Prosecutor's Office claims that the verdict was 
superficially based on thoughts about an alleged and unproven 
criminal network. 
 
OZGUR GUNDEM / EVRENSEL / BOLGE:  Ozgur Gundem daily blames the 
government for not taking tangible steps regarding the Kurdish 
issue and for holding back by only extending support to the 
moderate announcements of the DYP National Leader Mehmet Agar.

considering a general amnesty in any way, blames the government 
for falling behind Mehmet Agar and asks: "Is AKP or DYP in 
power?"  Evrensel daily quotes Tunceli Mayor Songul Erol Abdil 
as finding both the government's and DYP leader's announcements 
as positive and further proposes that the PKK can lay down arms 
gradually.  Bolge daily reported that Recai Kutan, the leader of 
Happiness Party who is currently visiting Adana, criticized Agar 
for making proposals which are in line with the proposals of the

Project of the U.S.
