¶2. CUMHURIYET/EVRENSEL/HURRIYET/YENI
SAFAK/CUMHURIYET/SABAH/HURRIYET: Charges have been pressed
against Leyla Zana, the Kurdish former deputy from DEP, and
Mehmet Nuri Gunes because of the speeches they delivered in
Igdir in support of the DTP-supported independent candidates.
Leyla Zana allegedly said Turkey should except dividing the
country into states and naming the Southeastern Turkey as the
"Kurdistan" federation. She added that demanding such a thing
was not in violation of the territorial integrity of Turkey. The
Chief Public Prosecutor of Igdir, Mustafa Kucuk, initiated an
investigation about Zana and Gunes for violating articles 216,
302 by instigating hatred and animosity among people, and
violating paragraph 58 of 298 by using a language other than
Turkish in the election campaign. The Evrensel newspaper quoted
Leyla Zana as saying "Those who are getting mad at my statements
today will recognize the reality in five or ten years and
realize it -the federation."
¶3. RADIKAL: In reaction to the Prime Minister's claim that
MHPers and DTPers would fight in the parliament, the former DTP
National Chair, Ahmet Turk, said that the Primier threatened the
voters by such a statement, and added that they were not getting
into the assembly to fight with others but to represent their
thoughts and beliefs. Turk and former DTP co-chair, Aysel
Tugluk, said that they were ready to discuss the Kurdish issue
even with the MHP should the appropriate climate be created.
¶4. EVRENSEL: Thousands of people attended the DTP-supported
independents' meeting in Silopi district of Sirnak where there
has been a constant troop and military equipment build up. The
crowd carried banners reading "Either true democracy or none.
Solutions in democracy, not in operations. This country is ours,
we will bring peace. Don't do separatism Baykal." The Sirnak
independent candidate, Sevahir Bayindir, criticized Prime
Minister Erdogan for not solving the Kurdish issue and closing
down the Habur border gate with Iraq. Approximately 10,000
people attended the DTP-supported independent candidates'
meeting in Bingol. Akin Birdal and the Diyarbakir Mayor Osman
Baydemir addressed to more than 10,000 people in Bismil district
of Diyarbakir, and more than 30,000 people attended the
independents' meeting in Hakkari.
¶5. CUMHURIYET/SABAH/ZAMAN: While Ankara is awaiting Baghdad
to take concrete steps against the PKK, the Iraqi Foreign
Ministry gave two demarches to Ankara claiming that Turkey had
bombed some targets in Northern Iraq and that some of the
medicine and food items received from Turkey had gone bad. The
Mesut Barzani-affiliate Kurdsat TV channel broadcasting from
northern Iraq aired some images of villagers leaving their homes
in the rural Zakho region. In its demarche to Turkey, the Iraqi
administration noted that a diplomatic solution should be sought
to the tension in the border region because of the bombings on
July 18. The Turkish Health Ministry disclosed that no medicine
had been exported from Turkey to Iraq but that it was exported
from other countries through Turkey.
¶6. CUMHURIYET/ZAMAN/RADIKAL/HURRIYET/BOLGE/EKSPR ES: The
Justice and Development Party (AKP), which had gained 365 seats
with 34.43 percent popularity in the 2002 general elections,
increased its votes to 46.67 percent but its seats decreased to

claimed that the e-memorandum by the Turkish General Staff
helped AKP to increase its popularity which had dropped to 30
percent prior the memorandum.
¶7. BOLGE: Residents from the Suruguden, Saridal, Yukari
Sizma, and Cicekli villages of Mus province protested casting
their votes on the grounds that they did not receive any

the coming elections unless they received some services. They

in poor conditions, and that they did not benefit from any
health services. The villagers demanded a boarding school to be
built in the region.

slogans. Police arrested 12 persons.

40 ballot boxes. The PEC will announce the result later. DTP
dismissed its administrators in Hakkari and Yukeskova based on
people's demand. The imprisoned DTP-supported PKK-suspect
Sebahat Tuncel, who was elected as a lawmaker from Istanbul, was
discharged from the Gebze Prison and was met by 2,000 people at
the prison gate.
¶12. HURRIYET: The DTP-supported lawmakers gave warm messages
about the course of action they would follow at the parliament.
Sevahir Bayindir, the independent lawmaker from Sirnak, said "We
will be the power of solutions not of crisis. Turkey's future
depends on establishing dialogues and producing solutions."
Osman Ozcelik, the independent lawmaker from Siirt, said "We do
not recognize any other force above the parliament. In general,
we will not be creating problems but generating solutions at the
parliament." Hasip Kaplan, the independent lawmaker from Sirnak,

problems.
