A high-level security meeting between Turkey and Iraq dominated coverage, with Foreign Minister Fidan emphasizing "PKK's dissolution" as the key focus. This follows the recent DEM Party-Erdoğan meetings, suggesting momentum in the Kurdish peace process. Pervin Buldan's statement that "the process is expected to be completed in a few months" reinforced this narrative.
Meanwhile, CHP organized a "Protecting People's Will" rally in Samsun, where Özgür Özel called for early elections and İmamoğlu declared "no one believes courts deliver justice anymore." CHP also protested the transfer of Istanbul Municipality investigation detainees to different prisons, calling it "enemy law."
The media reported on a 4.6 magnitude earthquake in Amasya felt across several provinces, while Birgun highlighted that 44 children have been convicted for insulting President Erdoğan. Weather reports contrasted spring conditions in Istanbul with snow warnings for Ankara, resulting in school closures in several provinces by evening.
