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.
