SUBJECT: SOUTHEAST TURKEY PRESS SUMMARY FOR APRIL 10, 2007 
 
 
This is the Southeastern Turkey press summary for April 10, 
ΒΆ2007.  Please note that Turkish press reports often contain 
errors or exaggerations; AmConsulate Adana does not vouch for 
the accuracy of the reports summarized here. 
 
POLITICAL 
 
ZAMAN / RADIKAL:        Diyarbakir Mayor Osman Baydemir, who attended 
the opening ceremony of an artist's exhibition in an art gallery 
of Diyarbakir, talked with journalists when he was asked about 
his views about ten security personnel who lost their lives in 
the last two days in the operations.  Baydemir reportedly said 
that every life lost was taking away something from the future 
of the peoples and diminishing the human values.  Baydemir 
reportedly refused to respond questions regarding recent 
statements of Massoud Barzani, president of the regional 
authority in Iraq, about Diyarbakir and Turkey. 
 
ZAMAN / EVRENSEL / RADIKAL:     One day after the expiration of 
the due date (on April 6) of the one-month-ban imposed on March 
6 by the 13th Heavy Penalty Court on the publication and 
distribution of the pro-Kurdish Ozgur Gundem daily, this time 
11th Heavy Penalty Court issued a 15-day-ban on the daily's 
publication because of the announcements that appeared on the 
daily concerning an event that would be held to mark terrorist 
leader's birthday at the birth place of Abdullah Ocalan. 
Evrensel daily notes that people protested 'silencing of the 
Ozgur Gundem daily' in front of the DTP provincial headquarters 
in Diyarbakir.  Baglar district mayor (from DTP) and Sur 
district mayor (from DTP) and some assembly members from the 
municipality attended the protest activity. 
 
EVRENSEL:       Nineteen people, including the provincial 
chairperson of the DTP in Bursa province, were detained on 
grounds that they chanted slogans and held banners in support 
for Abdullah Ocalan during a public meeting held during March 21 
Newroz celebrations in Bursa.  Meanwhile, Human Rights 
Association (HRA) condemned the recent detention of Ankara 
chapter of HRA and DTP Ankara provincial chairperson (see press 
summary for April 6) in Ankara. 
 
EKSPRES / BOLGE:        Kemal Sag, Adana deputy from CHP, paid a visit 
to the Daglioglu Police Station in Adana, where a bomb incident 
took place the previous day (see press summary for April 9). 
Kemal Sag claimed that the AKP administration, with its 
decisions taken and implementations carried out regarding 
terrorism, was creating vulnerabilities during the 
counter-terrorism efforts undertaken. 
 
CRIME / LAW ENFORCEMENT: 
 
HURRIYET (CUKUROVA):    Police, who stopped a car on the road 
between Van and Bitlis, found 29 kilograms of heroin after a 
police dog searched the car. 
 
SECURITY: 
 
ZAMAN / BOLGE:  More soldiers and two Cobra helicopters were 
reportedly dispatched to the area when security forces detected 
30 PKK members in rural sections of the Tunceli, Bingol and 
Sirnak provinces.  A total of ten terrorists were killed as 
security forces intensified their military efforts in those 
areas.  One member of the DHKP/C was reportedly caught alive. 
 
ZAMAN:  Three DHKP/C members who were caught in Adana the 
previous day as they were allegedly making preparations to carry 
out a bomb attack in the province (see press summary for April 
09), have been arraigned and arrested.

total of nearly 6 million YTL credits were offered to women in 
Diyarbakir to date. 
 
SABAH (GUNEY):  Nejat Kocer, President of Gaziantep's Chamber
