TUNCEL ON STAGE AGAIN
Peace & Democracy Party (BDP) deputy Sebahat Tuncel, who slapped a police officer in the face in Silopi town of the eastern province of Tunceli, caused another chaos in Bilgi University yesterday. Tuncel said that she did not feel any regret for what she did. "The state should regret. I would like to slap the state, not a police officer," she added.
PARLIAMENT ADOPTS LIBYA MOTION
Turkish soldiers are on their way to Libya. Parliament, in a closed session, accepted the motion envisaging the troops of Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) to join NATO's naval forces in Libya for one year.

HE WAS WELCOMED ENTHUSIASTICALLY IN INTERNATIONAL TURKISH SCHOOL IN GHANA
President Abdullah Gul was welcomed with an African dance at the International Galaxy School in Ghana. Gul visited classes, and watched a folk dance performance peculiar to Turkey's Black Sea coast. Students then sang songs and read poems.
IMMEDIATE DISCLAIMER FROM RASMUSSEN
The game of France, which wanted to hand over the command of the operation on Libya to NATO, was deteriorated. Turkey's Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu called NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen and briefed him on France's theses. When Davutoglu said, "Arab countries do not want NATO either", he faced an unexpected reaction. Rasmussen said, "this is not true, the foreign minister of United Arab Emirates is beside me and he is not telling so. Arab countries want NATO to undertake the responsibility of the operation. I can put you through him and he can explain it to you." Foreign Minister Abdallah bin Zayid al Nuhayyan backed Turkey's reservations, and denied France. He said, "we do not have such a stance."

COMMAND BELONGS TO NATO
The uncompromising stance of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who warned that the intervention in Libya should not turn into an invasion, yielded to positive results. France, which attempted to act as the leader of the operation despite the UN decision on the matter, lost in the end, and the command of the operation was handed over to NATO in line with Turkey's demands.
LEAVE OIL ASIDE, LOOK WITH CONSCIENCE
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called out to the West which has set eyes on the underground richness of Libya. "I hope those who only see oil and gold mines when they look at the East and the South, will start looking at these regions with a little bit of conscience from now on," Erdogan said.
