5.      GUNDEM: DTP's independent candidates gathered at a

The meeting reportedly aimed to discuss the work plan and 
election strategies.  At the end of the meeting, a declaration

6.      GUNDEM: Courts issued 30 months of prison sentence 
against each of 15 DTP members, including DTP Sirnak provincial 
chairman, for three different cases brought against them.  The 
defendants are convicted on charges of making three press 
announcements: one that marked the anniversary of Abdullah 
Ocalan's arrest, another that marked the anniversary of an 
alleged massacre the daily refers to as "August 18 massacre." 
The third case was brought on charges of making a press 
announcement to draw attention to Ocalan's health condition in 
prison. 
 
7.      GUNDEM: Adana Prosecutor's Office brought a lawsuit 
against the Adana Newroz Committee which organized Newroz 
celebrations in Adana on March 21 where people reportedly 
carried posters of Abdullah Ocalan and flags of the PKK then. 
 
8.      CUMHURIYET:     The daily claims that the U.S. started having

and Azarbaijan. 
 
9.      RADIKAL:        There is a lot of activity going on at 
Turkey's borders with Iran and Iraq, reports the daily.  While

border, Iraqis started establishing 6 Kurdish military posts at 
their border. 
 
SECURITY 
 
10.     ZAMAN / GUNDEM / CUMHURIYET:    A corporal was killed in a 
conflict that erupted between security forces and terrorists 
during a military operation going on in Erzincan's Kemah 
district.  A non-commissioned officer was reported as wounded. 
Separately, Gundem daily claims that PKK terrorists attacked a 
military vehicle that was carrying special team members on a 
road between Erzincan and Erzurum, but the paper has no further 
information on the number of casualties, if there is any. 
Cumhuriyet daily reports that one private was killed in Sirnak 
yesterday.  Zaman daily reports that 3 terrorists were killed in 
a conflict that erupted in a section of Diyarbakir province. 
Separately, Gundem daily alleges that the death toll was 
actually ten soldiers, not three as announced by the 
authorities, during the attack PKK carried out on a military 
vehicle in Sirnak's Guclukonak district on June 9 (see press 
summary for June 11).

Consulate in Adana will hold a talk on non-immigrant visa issues 
with an aim to give information and provide answers to questions 
of local businessmen about visa procedures of the U.S.  Roger

holding the talk. 
 
13.     ZAMAN:  Truck drivers started expressing their 
complaints about the long truck lines formed at the gate of the 
port of Mersin because of the slow bureaucratic procedures that 
make the drivers wait 3 to 4 hours. 
 
CULTURE / SOCIETY / ENVIRONMENT 
 
14.     BOLGE:  War veteran Murat Caner, who was disabled 
during a military operation in northern Iraq on an unspecified 
date in the past, and a few members of the Association for 
Families of Martyrs and Disabled Veterans in Adana, held a 
protest in front of the mayor's office against escalating 
terrorism in the country.  Caner said that Turkey should not 
conduct a cross-border operation and should deal with the 
problems within the country in the first place; otherwise the 
number of people dying will increase even more, according to 
Caner. 
 
15.     CUMHURIYET:     Adana Governor made an announcement about the 
measures and prohibited actions that the people should heed in 
the province during the June 17 Nationwide University Entrance 
Examination which is a very critically important test that all 
high school graduates must take to be eligible for university 
access in Turkey.  The Governor made a call to people to be 
careful about the noise level not to disturb the students taking 
the exam in the province. 
 
16.     GUNDEM: Ten people in Erzurum were found out to 
contract Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever.  The doctors said that

minister and agricultural minister to remedy the material losses 
of the farmers in Diyarbakir's Cinar and Bismil districts 
following the November 2006 flood disaster, no tangible steps 
have been taken so far in line with the promises, reports the 
daily.
