⌨Turkish media is currently dominated by two key developments: the appointment of a trustee to TELE1 channel, following the arrest of its editor-in-chief Merdan Yanardağ on "espionage" charges (Bianet, Medyascope). Separately, the arrest warrant for manager Ayşe Barım, related to the Gezi Park events, has been lifted (Gerçek Gündem, Hürriyet). Türkiye also appointed a new ambassador to Syria (Daily Sabah), and President Erdoğan expressed a goal to make Istanbul a UN center (Sabah).
