    TURKEY PRESS SCAN ON JULY 10

    These are some of the major headlines and their summaries in Turkish
    press on July 10, 2009. The World Bulletin does not verify these
    stories and does not vouch for their accuracy.

    THAT MAP HAS NOT CHANGED

    The U.S. Congress Research Center has not taken into consideration
    Ankara's objections to a Turkey map in a Kurds report. The report,
    released on June 3, 2009, showed the Southeastern and Eastern Anatolia
    of Turkey, and a part of Iran, Syria, Armenia and Azerbaijan as a
    "Kurdish soil".

    The report said the U.S. strategy was to convince the Kurds that
    they would gain control of Kirkuk. The report also said that Turkey,
    who fears that the Kirkuk issue might cause independence of Kurds,
    sees itself as the protector of Turkmens in the region.
