HIGH-LEVEL ALARM
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, after holding talks with the Chief of General Staff and the head of the National Intelligence Organization, has sent two force commanders and two ministers to Diyarbakir.

IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO SAY NO TO TURKEY
Four French senators, two of whom are from French President Nicolas Sarkozy's party, visited Ankara, Istanbul and Bursa, and later prepared a report criticizing their country's Turkey policy harshly. The senators, who work at the French Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, shared their impressions about Turkey in a 62-page report. The report said France might regret some of its politicians' current statements in the future. "French people should be convinced that closing Europe's doors to Turkey would be a shame for us," the report also said.
