of protests against the government's handling of the economic crisis.
Sabah: "Take into account the voices of protestors," read the
headline of the daily's main story yesterday, quoting remarks from
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who delivered a speech opening
the World Bank-IMF annual meetings in Ä°stanbul on Tuesday. Calling
for institutions to embrace diverse points of view, he said that if
these bodies want to maintain their legitimacy, institutions need to
incorporate the voices of protesters who are being kept away from the
summit. "Everyone that steers the global economy, that means you, has
to put their heads between their two hands and carefully contemplate
where all these faults stemmed from. Also, we have to lend an ear to
the ongoing protest outside this hall," Erdogan said.
Yeni Å~^afak: "Sarksyan criteria," was the headline of the daily's
lead story yesterday, which reported that some security measures
will be taken when Armenian President Serzh Sarksyan visits the
western province of Bursa to watch a soccer match between the Turkish
and Armenian national teams on Oct. 14. President Abdullah Gul, who
talked to administrators in Bursa, asked them to be a good example of
Turkish hospitality during Sarksyan's visit. As part of the security
measures, officials will attempt to prevent provocateurs from entering
the stadium, Azerbaijani flags will not be permitted in the stadium
and chanting political slogans and holding signs that have political
messages will not be allowed, said the daily.
AkÅ~_am: In a front-page story yesterday, the daily reporte ~Y
(TSK) mandate to strike bases of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers'
Party (PKK) in northern Iraq was approved by Parliament on Tuesday,
receiving the support of 452 deputies. Some 47 deputies from the
Justice and Development Party (AK Party), mostly from the Southeast,
were absent during Tuesday's vote.
