Adana

President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an is back hounding a media organ, this time daily Cumhuriyet, and Can Dündar, its editor-in-chief, for publishing footage about three Syria-bound trucks that were stopped by the gendarmerie near Adana in January 2014. It turned out at the time that the trucks belonged to Turkey?s National Intelligence Organization (M?T).

Hatun Dilci, who lives in the modest village of Dilekkaya in Turkey's southern province of Adana, displays dozens of priceless historical artifacts in her garden with the permission of the museum directorate. The village lies at the foot of the hilltop on which the Anavarza Fortress sits.

Some 50 former police officers, including former police intelligence unit heads, were detained in a fresh wave of operations held primarily in the Mediterranean province of Mersin and seven other provinces early June 1 over allegations of wiretapping top government officials.

Turkish prosecutors have launched an investigation into daily Cumhuriyet over its May 29 story on Syria-bound trucks belonging to the National Intelligence Organization (M?T), which were stopped and searched by soldiers last year.

Tezcan also asked for restrictions on the broadcasting of those gatherings, the CHP press office said in a written statement.
