⌨

The DEM Party delegation's historic visit to İmralı dominated morning coverage, following yesterday's authorization. By afternoon, attention shifted to President Erdogan's economic statements in Bursa, promising interest rate cuts while urging citizens to boycott overpriced goods.

The day's climax came with the Narin Güran murder verdict, delivering aggravated life sentences to the mother, brother, and uncle, while key witness Nevzat Bahtiyar received 4.5 years. The Diyarbakır Bar Association immediately announced plans to appeal Bahtiyar's lighter sentence.

Meanwhile, ferry services faced storm disruptions, and Kocaeli witnessed a series of explosions injuring 14 people, closing a day that began with promises and ended with consequences.
