Taraf: The Justice Ministry has sent five inmates to İmralı, where outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Öcalan is serving a life sentence, the daily announced in a front-page story yesterday. Öcalan will be allowed to meet with these inmates for a maximum of 10 hours a week. Since he was captured in 1999, Öcalan had been serving his jail term on İmralı Island alone, which drew criticism from international human rights organizations. Hürriyet: In its main story yesterday, the daily reported that a 13-year-old Turkish student, Mustafa Doğan, was suspended from his school in Paris for two days and ordered to complete an assignment on the Armenian “genocide” when he rejected allegations about the genocide. During a history lesson on the Armenian “genocide,” Doğan stood up with four other Turkish students and said they do not recognize the “genocide,” leading to his suspension. Doğan’s father, Mehmet, said his son will never complete the assignment he was asked to do. Yeni Şafak: Barzani earns more than Obama, the daily said in its lead story yesterday, reporting that Iraqi President Jalal Talabani and the president of the autonomous Kurdish region in northern Iraq, Massoud Barzani, earn more than US President Barack Obama. While Talabani makes $1 million and Barzani makes $400,000 a month, Obama makes only $33,333 a month, said the daily, noting that Talabani and Barzani are the highest-paid leaders in the world.
