HURRIYET
--------
PARLIAMENT ACCEPTS LIBYA MOTION

BAYDEMIR MOUNTS ON PANZER
Metropolitan Mayor Osman Baydemir of the southeastern province of Diyarbakir extended support to some members of Peace & Democracy Party (BDP) who have been making a "civil disobedience" protest.

MILLIYET

RAID AGAINST A BOOK
When journalist Ahmet Sik was detained, he had completed writing a book named "Imam's Soldiers" about the Gulen community, however, the book had not been published yet. During the operation Sik was detained, the journalist was also asked questions about the book. Such development gave rise to discussions. Everybody sought a reply for this question: "Is it a crime to write a book?". As the discussion got bigger, the prosecutor's office and several politicians said that Sik had not been detained for writing a book, but on the charge of being a member of the armed terrorist organization Ergenekon.
CRUSADE COMPARISON IS IMPROPER
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan reacted to the remarks of a French minister who said French President Nicolas Sarkozy was "leading a Crusade" in Libya. "Very improper statements are being delivered. Those who just see oil in this region should start acting with conscience," Erdogan said.

FROM ERDOGAN TO FRANCE: INCONSIDERATE
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan replied this way to French Interior Minister Claude Gueant, who defined the operation against Libya as a "Crusade." Erdogan said Turkey's European Union (EU) membership would make the East and the West understand each other. "However, some (people) did not want to perceive this. They are confusing the minds regarding the operation on Libya. Unfortunately, they are making inconsiderate definitions like 'Crusade'."
MOTION PASSED WITH LIGHT SPEED
The parliament adopted a government motion allowing the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) to send troops to foreign countries in order to ensure stability and security in Libya. Besides the ruling Justice & Development (AK) Party, the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) and other opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) backed the motion.
