LET PARLIAMENT SOLVE WHAT JUDICIARY REJECTED
Following Turkey's Election Board's decision to cancel Hatip Dicle's deputyship, the court in charge of Ergenekon case rejected the release demands of Mehmet Haberal and Mustafa Balbay and did not give them the "visa to enter the parliament". Politicians and legists showed the parliament as the addressee to solve the matter concerning the national will that has been blocked by the judiciary.
ASSAD PUSHES LIMITS
Although Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad has promised to implement a series of reforms, his country's armed forces continue to act violently. Assad forces, which have circled villages, have set up a camp 500 meters away from the Turkish-Syrian border. Ankara warned Syria on the matter, as the United States warned against the possibility of a clash.
