قال نائب رئيس اتحاد مصدري منطقة إيجه التركية بيرول جالاب، اليوم السبت، إن صادرات بلاده إلى قطر منذ مطلع العام الجاري وحتى نهاية الشهر الماضي وصلت إلى 707 ملايين دولار.
قال الرئيس التركي رجب طيب أردوغان، إن "البعض أراد تشكيل ممر إرهابي على طول حدودنا مع سوريا كما فعلوا في العراق، إلّا أن تركيا نجحت في إفساد هذه الألاعيب من خلال عمليتي درع الفرات وغصن الزيتون والعمليات في إدلب".

Brunson arrived at Joint Base Andrews outside Washington. A Turkish court convicted him of aiding terrorism and sentenced him only to time served on Friday. President Trump tweeted that he would meet with Brunson later this afternoon at the White House: "It will be wonderful to see and meet him. He is a great Christian who has been through such a tough experience."

Nearly two weeks since he disappeared after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, the fate of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi remains uncertain, but the implications are clear. Here's a podcast from TicToc, with Marc Champion discussing the case, a look at how much is at stake for Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and a report card on the kingdom's young leader.
A Turkish court yesterday set free U.S. Pastor Andrew Brunson after holding him in prison for almost two years. Read about why that removes a key source of tension between Turkey and the United States here.

A Cautionary Tale for How Brexit Summit Can Collapse A Brexit deal is gradually emerging, but that won't be the end of it. EU diplomats predict U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May can only get the parliamentary backing she needs if she's seen to have a fight. Get ready, they say, for fireworks and a long night at an Oct. 17. summit. As Ian Wishart writes, the leaders' last gathering in September shows the mood music can quickly change.
#MeToo Comes to Bollywood After Actor Alleges Sexual Harassment A year after #MeToo upended Hollywood, it's arrived in Bollywood and is spreading through India. Archana Chaudhary and Ari Altstedter report on the allegations of inappropriate behavior by prominent Indian men that have been flooding Twitter since a decade-old sexual misconduct allegation against a Hindi film industry star was reported to police.
Maduro Got a Salt Bae Feast, But Turkey Gets Venezuela's Gold President Nicolás Maduro outraged his impoverished citizens, many of whom are standing in long lines to leave Venezuela, when he was feted with thick cuts of beef and luxury cigars at Salt Bae's celebrity steakhouse in Istanbul last month. But as Ethan Bronner and Andrew Rosati report, the visit also highlighted an emerging alliance: As the West isolates his government over abuse and corruption, Turkey has become one of its most important backers.
Former White House strategist Steve Bannon told Bloomberg's Editor-In-Chief John Micklethwait that his support of "The Movement," a Brussels-based organization promoting populist political groups, is aimed at turning the EU back into a "collection of sovereign nations" rather than an integrated bloc. And, he said, it will cater to "populist, nationalist movements" rising in countries as far apart as Brazil and Pakistan. Read more here.

The financial crisis ripped through Wall Street 10 years ago, pushing the global economy to the edge of the abyss. One might think those searing experiences would have created a learning opportunity — for managing risk better, understanding structural imbalances in the financial markets, even learning a bit about how our own cognitive processes malfunction.
Instead, we have little new wisdom or self-awareness to show for that traumatic event.
That was one of the key takeaways of an extraordinary conference I attended last week called Risk: Retrospective Lessons & Prospective Strategies, co-sponsored by the Santa Fe Institute and Morgan Stanley in New York. It left me excited, brimming with ideas and curious about how we could do better as investors.
The opening panel, "Lessons Learned," had legendary stock picker Bill Miller, asset manager Cliff Asness and journalist Bethany McLean recounting their experiences during the financial crisis. It made me sad, angry and hopeful all at the same time.
We tend to forget just how shocking that period was. Some of the behavior Asness and Miller witnessed at various institutional investment funds was both hilarious and frightening. One large endowment fund, selling amid the collapse against Asness's recommendation, told him "We are not market-timing, but we will probably return to U.S. equities in the spring." Rarely at a loss for words, Asness was left sputtering and speechless.
These errors led Asness to observe, "You can have a committee of 10 geniuses that proves collectively to be a moron."

"Help is coming"
In the wake of Hurricane Michael, many local journalists in Panama City, FL "are working in incredibly difficult conditions," CNN's Dianne Gallagher emailed on Friday. "Their newsrooms were destroyed and so were many of their homes."
The area's two biggest TV stations, ABC-affiliated WMBB and NBC-affiliated WJHG, were knocked off the air as Michael's eyewall approached on Wednesday, and they were still off the air as of Friday evening. So both stations are using Facebook to send out updates and improvised live shows. While the digital audience is smaller, and power is sporadic in many places, it's a partial solution to the problem at hand.
WMBB's FB page is full of posts like this from Friday afternoon: "Federal help IS COMING in the next 24 hours. Hang in there! In the meantime, neighbors should help others."
Gallagher's crew dropped off Gatorades, water bottles and other supplies at the station on Friday. General manager Terry Cole gave her a tour...
Inside WMBB
During Wednesday's broadcast, one of the last things viewers heard was a reporter saying "it sounds like a train is coming over the roof of the TV station. The whole building is shaking."
Parts of the roof started to cave in. Rainwater started seeping in. By 12:45 p.m., the broadcast was over. A piece of a nearby building hit the station's generator and "knocked us off the air," Cole told Gallagher.
Cole had a backup plan, "but I never thought we'd use it," he said. His staff evacuated to First Baptist Church next door. WFLA in Tampa took over live coverage for anyone who was still able to see WMBB's signal via cable or antenna.
Cole said his staff worked and slept at the church on Wednesday and into Thursday. One of WMBB's sister stations from Mobile, Alabama, arrived with a satellite truck so that the anchors and reporters could go live again on Thursday evening. They anchored from the parking lot. The staff set up six chairs and three cameras, and the journalists shared their reporting and personal reflections. They've been doing an "incredible job," Cole said.
The staff produced another newscast from the parking lot on Friday night. The backdrop was a giant chunk of roof that flew off a nearby building. Several hundred feet above them, two workers were trying to repair a satellite at the top of a WMBB transmission tower. The satellite was apparently pushed in the opposite direction by the winds.
Cleanup crews at the local paper
Dianne Gallagher also stopped by the area's daily paper, the Panama City News Herald, on Friday. The newsroom is in bad shape... It has no power... "Cleanup crews were there when we stopped by," Gallagher said. "The journalists are all out trying to cover stories." She took this photo of some of the damage to the office building:
"With damaged homes, no power or cell service, our reporters have been hard at work," reporter Eryn Dion tweeted on Thursday.
Reporters at the Northwest Florida Daily News loaded up a car full of supplies for the News Herald on Friday. Others are also trying to help...
Comms are still very shaky
Communication remains very difficult near the ground zero of Michael. Both local and national reporters have been having a hard time contacting officials and filing reports. Some reporters in places such as Mexico Beach have been sleeping in their cars.
Meanwhile, the death toll is going to keep rising. As CNN.com's latest overview story notes, "the devastation left by Hurricane Michael in several states is still coming into focus, with coastal Florida cities destroyed beyond recognition, and homes, businesses and agriculture torn or swamped from Georgia to Virginia."

NFL #'s are up
After two seasons of bad press over falling viewership, the NFL "has something to celebrate now: Its ratings are up," Frank Pallotta wrote in his latest for CNN Business. "About a month into the 2018 season, the numbers are up around 2% compared to this time last year, attracting an average of 15.6 million viewers across its network partners, according to Nielsen data. That might not seem like much, but at a time when ratings have been falling across network TV and people are turning to multiple streaming services, it's a huge win."
Why the rebound? "There are a few possible factors, but perhaps the biggest one might be this: The NFL wasn't that exciting to watch the past couple years. But it's great now." Read Pallotta's full story here...
Nevins in talks for expanded role
As the restructuring of CBS Corp continues, Showtime CEO David Nevins is in negotiations "to take on an expanded role beyond the premium service he now heads," Variety's Daniel Holloway and Joe Otterson scooped Friday night. "His renewed deal would give the executive oversight of content for streaming service CBS All Access, in addition to retaining his existing Showtime responsibilities. It could also see his role grow even further, giving him say in content decisions across CBS' brands, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the discussions..."

The board, in concert with CBS' controlling shareholder, Shari Redstone, is leading the search for a permanent CEO..."
Think about this
WaPo editorial page editor Fred Hiatt is out with a new piece that pushes readers to think about "the enormity of what happened in Istanbul." Think about "the extraordinary brazenness of this crime, even in an era when norms are eroding as the United States abdicates its role as leader of the free world." And to think about this: "No matter what Saudi Arabia offered, could its supposed friendship be worth shrugging off the ensnaring and killing of a critic whose only offense was to tell the truth? Is that the country we want to be?"
Trump says he'll call King Salman "soon"
"Amid outcry, there are few signs Trump will cut off Saudis" is the headline on Kevin Liptak's latest for CNN.com. He notes that "US officials have so far declined to endorse a Turkish assessment of Jamal Khashoggi's death, which includes -- according to Turkish claims -- audio and video recordings from inside the consulate revealing Khashoggi was killed. The Saudis have issued a broad denial of responsibility, but have offered nothing concrete to prove that Khashoggi walked out of their consulate or that he is still alive."
-- President Trump said on Friday he has not yet spoken with King Salman of Saudi Arabia, but he will "pretty soon..."
That's what the Turkish newspaper Sabah is suggesting in Saturday's edition. According to the paper, Khasshoggi turned on the recording function of his Apple Watch before walking into the consulate on October 2. The moments of his "interrogation, torture and killing were audio recorded and sent to both the phone and to iCloud," the pro-government privately owned newspaper reported.
CNN cannot independently verify the report and is seeking comment from both Saudi and Turkish officials. There is at least one glaring error in the report: It asserts that the assailants used Khashoggi's fingerprint to unlock the smart watch and deleted some files, but the Apple Watch doesn't have a fingerprint sensor.
Shunning Saudi
"Most of the news outlets that had agreed to sponsor a high-profile business conference in Saudi Arabia have now pulled out," Hadas Goldreports.
CNN, CNBC, the FT, and Bloomberg all withdrew on Friday. Bloomberg's move was especially notable because last year it "signed a deal with a Saudi publisher to run an Arabic language financial news network." Gold says. Bloomberg didn't respond to a request for comment on the status of that deal.
STILL PARTICIPATING: Fox Business Network, Nikkei and Saudi-owned television channel Al Arabiya...
This Sunday on "Reliable Sources"
The aforementioned Fred Hiatt will join me, along with Brookings Institute senior fellow Shadi Hamid.
"It sounds so crazy that it's hard to get your head around it that Saudi Arabia would go this far to allegedly kill one of their critics," Hamid said on NPR on Friday. But he thinks the murder plot alleged by the Turks is "the most persuasive and plausible scenario right now..."

Susan Glasser's latest
She listened to all of Trump's campaign rallies so far this month, and she thinks you should too. "What the President of the United States is actually saying is extraordinary," she writes, "regardless of whether the television cameras are carrying it live. It's not just the whoppers or the particular outrage riffs that do get covered, either. It's the hate, and the sense of actual menace that the President is trying to convey to his supporters." Read the rest here...
"Trump's USA Today op-ed demonstrates why it's time to unbundle news and opinion content"
These days, the single most common complaint I hear about "the media" is about the blurred lines between "news" and "opinion about the news." Eli Pariser took this on in a new piece for NiemanLab on Friday.
"The recent furor over President Trump's op-ed in USA Today brings this growing tension between opinion and news content to the fore," he says.
Key graf: "Why does the public have such a hard time figuring out what 'news' means? Because it's actually confusing! Even highly media-literate people can have a hard time understanding where the lines are drawn... So perhaps it's time to reconsider the whole premise of bundling together hard news and opinion content under the same brand names and domains. If we believe there's something special about the processes and norms that create journalism (and I do), publishers should draw a brighter line around it — a line that both people and algorithms can understand."

Showtime's Roger Ailes miniseries just got even more interesting
Russell Crowe is already set to play Roger Ailes in the Showtime limited series based on Gabriel Sherman's book. Naomi Watts is on board to play Gretchen Carlson.
On Friday came word of additional cast members: Sienna Miller will play Beth Ailes, Simon McBurney will play Rupert Murdoch, Annabelle Wallis will play Laurie Luhn, and Seth MacFarlane will play former Fox News PR boss Brian Lewis. The MacFarlane casting is fascinating -- because he's a key producer for the Fox broadcast network -- but he's also an outspoken critic of Fox News. I wonder how this news is being received on the Fox lot..
Lowry's weekend viewing roundup
Brian Lowry emails: Those who can't wait for the History channel to air "Watergate" -- a six-part dive into that constitutional crisis, scheduled over three nights in November -- will get an advance look in theaters in New York and L.A. for Oscar consideration. It's well worthwhile, but marred by the use of dramatic reenactments in replicating the Nixon Oval Office tapes.
Elsewhere, DC Universe -- the new streaming service aimed at comic-book fans -- seeks to establish its credentials with the gritty live-action series"Titans,"which is good, but perhaps not enough reason to subscribe; and HBO launches "Camping," a grating series from the producers of "Girls," starring Jennifer Garner as a control-freak mom, joined by friends and family on a camping trip...
At the movies, the new offerings include "Beautiful Boy,"a harrowing addiction drama starring Steve Carell and Timothee Chalamet, based on twin father-son memoirs about the ordeal, which feels a little too much like a classy TV movie. They're joined by "First Man," the Neil Armstrong biography; "Bad Times at the El Royale," a fever-dream thriller, that I can't wholly recommend (and didn't bother to review, despite a big-name cast); and "The Oath,"a provocative political dramedy written, directed by and starring Ike Barinholtz, as well as Tiffany Haddish...
What Kim thought...
Chloe Melas emails: You might be wondering what Kanye West's wife Kim Kardashian West thought about his meeting at the White House on Thursday ... A source tells me she is "not embarrassed" by the things West said.
"Kim is incredibly supportive," the source said, who added that West's mind "moves at lightning speed" and suggested the forum for the White House meeting wasn't the best representation of West's "genius..."

Facebook hackers accessed 14 million users' personal data
The Facebook hack that manipulated the site's View As feature two weeks ago affected 30 million users, not 50 million as originally feared, the company announced Friday. But for 14 million of those accounts, hackers accessed intimate information, such as the last 10 places that person checked into, their current city and their 15 most-recent searches. For 15 million, cyberthieves accessed only name and contact information. The other 1 million accounts were vulnerable but untouched by the attackers. The hack, one of the worst in company history, is being investigated by the FBI, and Facebook says it's cooperating.
Turkey has recordings to prove Khashoggi was killed: reports
Turkish government officials told the U.S. they have both audio and video recordings that definitively prove missing journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered last week inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, the Washington Post reported. The recordings show a Saudi security team detaining Khashoggi before killing him and dismembering his body, the Post reported. "You can hear his voice and the voices of men speaking Arabic," the Post quoted one person with knowledge of the recording. "You can hear how he was interrogated, tortured and then murdered."
A Turkish court set free U.S. pastor Andrew Brunson Friday after holding him in prison for almost two years. The court in Izmir convicted Brunson, 50, an evangelical pastor from North Carolina, and sentenced him to 3 years, 1 month and 15 days in jail, but lifted all judicial controls and release him after accounting for penalty reductions and time served. Brunson had been accused of collaborating with terrorist groups and participating in a 2016 attempted coup, and his imprisonment roiled diplomatic relations and led the U.S. to impose sanctions on Turkish ministers. The White House said he was expected to arrive in the U.S. Saturday.
The death toll from Hurricane Michael rose to 13 Friday, as search-and-rescue teams made their way through ravaged neighborhoods across the South, where FEMA said it was mostly still too dangerous to return home. State officials estimated hundreds defied evacuation orders and stayed behind during the hurricane, which was one of the most powerful to hit the continental U.S. in decades. Michael returned to the Atlantic Ocean Friday after dumping rain on mid-Atlantic states. Nearly 1.5 million customers were still without power, and officials said storm damage would cost as much as $16 billion.
Tesla submitted a 'Teslaquila' trademark application
Teslaquila may soon become a reality, Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted Friday. The company submitted a trademark application on October 8 for the product, describing it as a distilled agave liquor. It was filed as "based on intent to use," which means it doesn't have the product ready just yet. Musk tweeted a mockup of what the bottle could look like Friday. The phrase originated as an April Fools' prank, in which Musk jokingly tweeted he had been "found passed out against a Tesla Model 3, surrounded by 'Teslaquila' bottles." Tesla shares plunged on April 2.
The United Nations warned this week that we have 17 years to slow climate change. But for some it's too late. In Florida they're tallying the dead lost to Hurricane Michael, which like Florence was turbocharged by warming oceans. Meanwhile the White House filled a key EPA advisory board with critics of pollution regulation. —David E. Rovella

This week's ugly stock-market swoon mercifully ended today. But the market must still grapple with a couple of big negatives in the months ahead. First, the Fed is taking away its punch bowl. Second, President Donald Trump is currently bathing in said punch bowl.
The trade war Trump is threatening against China could cause a recession, Bloomberg's editors warn. And his budget-wrecking tax cuts may have bolstered the economy in the short run, but they will leave the federal government with little fiscal ammunition to fight any downturn. None of this bodes well long-term for stocks. Read the whole thing.
Of course, stocks have managed to ignore such worries for a long time. And just as it's fiendishly difficult to ID what moves the market on any given day, it's also near-impossible to predict what it will do in the short term. Charles Lieberman argues higher Federal Reserve interest rates — the punch-bowl-stealing mentioned above — don't have to decimate stock prices; the latest spot of unpleasantness is a mere necessary correction, in his view. Chris Hughes, though, notes a weakening of IPO appetite in London and Europe, which could foretell more trouble ahead. Whether Trump wants to own the ultimate outcome or not, he increasingly will.
Let's Talk About ETFs for a … Wait, Where Are You Going?
One thing making stock-market entrail-reading a little more complicated these days is the rise of ETFs. These are investments built to mimic the behavior of stuff like stock-market indexes or junk-bond prices. These were on the rise during the financial crisis, but they have exploded in number and variety since. Are they using their powers for good or for evil? It depends on who you ask.
For example, fans of junk-bond ETFs say they will boost liquidity in a market rout. Liquidity is good; it means you can sell the stuff you need to sell before all your money catches on fire. And sure enough, in this week's market pratfall, the ETF fans seemed to be right, writes Brian Chappatta — the junk-bond ETFs really did help keep the market moving.
Ah, but then there are gold ETFs. In times of market trouble, some investors flee to gold as a safe haven because it makes your fallout shelter look pretty or something. Don't ask me why. But now there are gold ETFs, which track gold prices. And the problem with these things, David Fickling writes, is that — even though they are a tiny part of the gold market — ETFs largely drive gold prices these days. In other words, "those who look on gold as a refuge from the madness of crowds shouldn't get ahead of themselves. These days, the crowds are in the driver's seat."
What to Do About Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia has long been one of America's most problematic allies. Human rights in the kingdom are a nightmare. Most of the 9/11 attackers came from there. It's prosecuting a ghastly war in Yemen. But the relationship has always been based not on shared values but grim necessity. And that necessity doesn't go away if it turns out the Saudi government did indeed kill missing journalist Jamal Khashoggi. But it may be time to reset the terms of the alliance, writes Hussein Ibish: Both sides must recognize that their own reckless behaviors are only making problems in the region worse.
Leonid Bershidsky would take it several steps further. He writes Khashoggi's disappearance bears similarities to the Russian government's murder of Anna Politkovskaya in 2006. That death permanently broke the post-9/11 accord between Washington and Moscow, turning Vladimir Putin from a tentative ally to a symbol of authoritarianism. If Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman authorized Khashoggi's murder, then he deserves no more trust from the U.S. than Putin does.
How Not to Win Allies Against Iran
In trying to force Europe and the rest of the world to go along with sanctions on Iran, the Trump administration is using threats, including the possibility of messing with the Swift messaging network that plays a key role in global trade. This is … not the way to get people to gang up on Iran with you, Bloomberg's editors warn: "A concerted global effort to turn the screws on Iran would be prudent and justified. It might even succeed in changing the regime's brutal behavior. A broken alliance only makes the problem worse."
Chart Attack
General Electric Co. has delayed its quarterly earnings report. No matter when they arrive, the numbers will be grim, writes Brooke Sutherland.
Fuel prices may be rising again, but the efficient Airbus A350-900, now plying the world's longest flight, can handle it, writes Nathaniel Bullard.
JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s earnings report today was better than investors expected and may have helped end the broader market sell-off. But it also bears signs of trouble ahead, warns Stephen Gandel.

إزمير (تركيا) (رويترز) - وصل القس الأمريكي أندرو برانسون الذي كانت قضيته محور خلاف بين أنقرة وواشنطن إلى منزله في تركيا يوم الجمعة بعد أن أصدرت محكمة أمرا بالإفراج عنه في خطوة قد تكون الأولى صوب إصلاح العلاقات بين البلدين.
وقال مصور لرويترز إن برانسون وصل إلى منزله في إقليم إزمير الساحلي بعد أن غادر مقر المحكمة في موكب سيارات.
وحكمت المحكمة على برانسون بالسجن ثلاث سنوات وشهر ونصف الشهر لإدانته باتهامات متعلقة بالإرهاب، لكنها قالت إنه لن يقضي أي فترة إضافية في السجن. كان القس قد احتجز قبل نحو عامين ثم وضع رهن الإقامة الجبرية منذ يوليو تموز. وعاش برانسون، وهو أصلا من ولاية نورث كارولاينا، في تركيا أكثر من عشرين عاما.
وقال الرئيس الأمريكي دونالد ترامب، الذي فرض عقوبات على تركيا في محاولة للضغط عليها لإطلاق سراح القس، على تويتر "القس برانسون أُفرج عنه للتو. سيعود للوطن قريبا".
وقال شهود إن برانسون الذي ارتدى حلة سوداء وقميصا أبيض وربطة عنق حمراء بكى عند إعلان المحكمة لقرارها. وقال للمحكمة قبل النطق بالحكم "أنا رجل بريء. أحب المسيح. أحب تركيا".
وبعد الحكم قال محامي برانسون للصحفيين إن موكله سيغادر تركيا على الأرجح. وقال مسؤولون لرويترز إن الجيش الأمريكي لديه طائرة عسكرية جاهزة لتقل برانسون عائدا إلى الولايات المتحدة.
وواجه القس اتهامات بأن له صلة بمسلحين أكراد وأنصار رجل الدين التركي فتح الله كولن الذي تتهمه أنقرة بالمسؤولية عن محاولة انقلاب في عام 2016. ونفى برانسون هذه الاتهامات وطالبت واشنطن بإطلاق سراحه على الفور.
وقبل إصدار الحكم قال شهود أمام المحكمة في بلدة ألياجا على الساحل الغربي لتركيا إن شهادات سابقة منسوبة لهم ضد القس برانسون غير دقيقة.
كانت زوجته نورين من بين الجالسين في منطقة الزوار في المحكمة.
وقالت والدة برانسون لرويترز إنها شعرت هي ووالده بالسعادة الغامرة لدى تلقي النبأ. وقالت "تغمرنا السعادة لأن الرب استجاب لصلوات الكثير من الناس حول العالم".
وقال مايك بنس نائب الرئيس الأمريكي على تويتر "نشكر الرب على الاستجابة للصلوات ونشيد بجهود الوزير (مايك) بومبيو ووزارة الخارجية في دعم القس برانسون وأسرته في هذا الوقت العصيب".
وتابع قائلا "أتطلع أنا والسيدة الثانية للترحيب بالقس برانسون وزوجته الشجاعة نورين لدى عودتهما للولايات المتحدة".
كانت محطة (إن.بي.سي) الأمريكية قد ذكرت يوم الخميس أن واشنطن أبرمت صفقة سرية مع أنقرة لتأمين إطلاق سراح برانسون.
وقالت نيكي هيلي سفيرة أمريكا لدى الأمم المتحدة على تويتر "بعد السجن ظلما في تركيا لعامين.. يمكننا جميعا الآن أن نشعر بالارتياح".
ويمكن لقرار المحكمة يوم الجمعة أن يكون خطوة أولى نحو تهدئة التوتر بين واشنطن وأنقرة على الرغم من أن الرئاسة التركية انتقدت ما وصفته بأنه جهد مستمر منذ فترة طويلة من الولايات المتحدة للضغط على محاكمها.
وقال فخر الدين ألتون مدير الاتصالات في الرئاسة التركية "بشديد الأسف تابعنا الجهود الأمريكية لممارسة ضغوط على النظام القضائي المستقل في تركيا منذ بعض الوقت".
وأضاف "الجمهورية التركية، مثل المحاكم التركية، لا تتلقى توجيهات من أي طرف أو سلطة أو مكتب أو شخص... نضع قواعدنا الخاصة ونتخذ قراراتنا التي تعكس إرادتنا".
