QUICK AND FAIR
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke at Mecca and put forth four conditions to support NATO which is getting ready for an operation against Libya.
1-NATO should enter there in order to confirm that Libya belongs to Libyan people.
2-Libya's underground resources and riches should not be distributed to some circles.
3-Operation should end as soon as possible, it should not turn into occupation.
4-Opportunity should be given to Libyan people to build sound, stable and peaceful future.
STONE AND SLAP FROM BDP
Atmosphere tensed when some groups threw stone on police following the Nevruz celebrations in southeastern province of Batman on Sunday. Security forces used pressure water and tear gas to disperse the demonstrators. When police cameras were examined, Peace & Democracy Party (BDP) MP Bengi Yildiz was seen while stopping cars by using stone. Another BDP MP Sebahat Tuncel argued with a chief inspector Murat Cetiner in Silopi town of southeastern province of Sirnak and slapped him in the face during Nevruz celebrations.

FOUR CONDITIONS OF ANKARA
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan explained under what conditions Turkey would approve taking Libya operation under NATO roof.
1-Operation should end at the possible soonest time.
2-NATO should enter there to confirm that Libya belongs to Libyans, not for distribution of underground resources.
3-Libyan people have every kind of opportunities to build their future. They should be given this opportunity.
4-Opportunity should be given to Libyan people to make their own decision before the operation turns into occupation.
BREATH TAKING BARGAINING
Famous war correspondents Anthony Shadid, Lynsey Addario, Tyler Hicks and Steve Farrel were arrested in Ecdebiye last week. Ankara was intervening since then for their rescue. Yet more, the United States transferred its right of representation in Libya to Turkey. Gaddafi could be convinced after long lasting bargaining. Ambassador Sahinkaya who went to military base in Tripoli to take the journalists on Sunday evening had to come back when bombardment started. However, Ankara did not give up, took the four journalists on Monday and brought them to Tunisia.
