Star: When his party decided to defend Republican People’s Party (CHP) Deputy Chairman Onur Öymen, who drew widespread criticism last week by defending the violent suppression of the Dersim Rebellion in 1937 in the predominantly Alevi city of Tunceli, Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, CHP parliamentary group deputy chairman, who earlier called on Öymen to resign, changed his mind, reported the daily in its main story yesterday. “I am not disturbed about what happened. I am thinking of resigning [in the wake of Öymen’s resistance]. This issue has been closed,” said Kılıçdaroğlu, who is also an Alevi. Radikal: “Shocking request from the FBI,” the daily said in the headline of its main story yesterday, saying head of US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Robert Mueller, who had talks with several senior Turkish officials during a one-day visit to Ankara on Wednesday, requested the biometric data of all suspected terrorists using land, air and sea transportation in Turkey. He said by sharing the information of these suspects, the US will easily pursue suspected terrorists traveling through Turkey. Ankara rejected the FBI’s request, saying it goes against Turkish and international law. Sabah: A front-page story in the daily reported yesterday that the prosecution demanded 24 years for Cem Garipoğlu, who killed and decapitated his girlfriend, Münevver Karabulut, in March, and a life sentence for his father, Nida Garipoğlu, for helping his son in the murder. Since Cem was a minor when he committed the murder, the prosecution could not demand a life sentence for him, said the daily.
