The day was dominated by two parallel stories: the cabinet meeting in Ahlat, where President Erdoğan emphasized a 'terror-free Turkey' and national unity, and the European Court of Human Rights' second ruling demanding Osman Kavala's immediate release. Pro-government outlets led with Erdoğan's nationalist rhetoric, while opposition and independent media focused on the ECHR decision and its implications. The Kuriş investigation continued with a third wave of detentions and seizure of financial documents. Other developments included the dissolution of the SDF, a bus-tanker collision in Kayseri, and political maneuvering around the Üsküdar vice-presidency election.
