 SUBJ SUBJ:     TAKE 1 OF 2--Turkish Islamist Press Review 11 Aug
 TEXT TEXT:
 [FBIS Report]          The following review,  filed by Nicosia Bureau,
 is a roundup of reports on noteworthy editorials, articles, and
 columns appearing in the 11 August editions of the Turkish Islamist
 newspapers Yeni Safak, Akit,  Zaman, Turkiye, and Milli Gazete.
 Further processing of summarized items may be requested if desired.
 Under the banner headline, "The Key is ESDI," Yeni Safak
 publishes a front-page report which claims that at the center of
 the debate between Motherland Party (ANAP) Leader Mesut Yilmaz and
 the General Staff over the issue of national security is the
 disagreement between Turkey and the EU over the European Security
 and Defense Identity (ESDI).
 In a 550-word article entitled "Have You not Seen This Film
 Before?" on page 5,  Yeni Safak columnist Mehmet Barlas comments
 C00779645
 sarcastically on what he refers to as Mesut Yilmaz's assumption of
 the role of a champion of democracy and civilianization.
 In an 850-word article entitled "A Campaign to Resuscitate
 Mesut Yilmaz" on page 9, Yeni Safak columnist Cengiz Candar argues
 that recent press reports and newscasts praising Yilmaz for raising
 the issue of national security are a campaign orchestrated by
 Yilmaz himself to increase his popular approval rating at a time
 when he is about to be faced with accusations of corruption.
 In a 1500-word article entitled "Corruption and Democracy" on
 page 10, Yeni Safak columnist Nazli Ilicak accuses Yilmaz of trying
 to increase his party's share of the vote in starting the
 controversy over the subject of national security and concurs with
 Cengiz Candar in seeing Yilmaz's recent convention speech as a
 "tactical maneuver" to obstruct steps to call him to account for
 "taking advantage of the 28 February process to establish a corrupt
 order."    Ilicak also praises Professor Mustafa Erdogan for an
 article criticizing the latest General Staff statement published in
 the Web site of the Liberal Thought Association.
 Under the banner headline,  "Debate Over Extravagance," Akit
 publishes a front-page report which asserts that the controversy
 over the issue of national security has gained a new dimension amid
 claims by certain politicians contradicted by the Turkish Armed
 Forces that military spending has reached extravagant levels.    The
 report quotes Liberal Democratic Party (LDP)  Leader Besim Tibuk as
 saying that all military spending should be controlled and Deputy
 Chairman of the Felicity Party (SP) Mehmet Bekaroglu as saying that
 a country where national security issues fall within the military's
 purview can never be democratic.
 Also front-paged in Akit is a report entitled "Here is the New
 Program," which asserts that the New Initiative led by Recep Tayyip
 Erdogan has announced an "ambitious" platform.    According to the
 report, the nascent party's program includes targets such as
 increasing the gross national income to $10,000 and establishing an
 online "virtual" educational system.
 In a 900-word article entitled "Who if not Yilmaz?" on pages 1
 and 11, Akit columnist Abdurrahman Dilipak argues that Mesut Yilmaz
 has been assigned by Europe to campaign for a revision to Turkey's
 national security policies by reason of being the most appropriate
 person in the coalition for such an initiative.    "Had Erdogan's
 New Initiative voiced this demand, the military's reaction would
 have been quite harsh, Erdogan's credibility rating would have
 soared, and the media would not have backed the demand.    For
 Erdogan is in one sense an African American whereas Yilmaz, to
 extend the metaphor,  is a white Protestant who champions the
 Anglo-Saxon tradition."
 Zaman    [Daily said to be controlled by the Fethullah Gulen
 organization]
 C00779645
 front-page report which says that Prime Minister Ecevit has said
 that continuing the debate over national security is uncalled-for
 and that he does not agree with Yilmaz that national security
 concerns will forever obstruct Turkey's integration with the EU.
 In the first of an unspecified number of installments of an
 article entitled "It is Getting Hotter" on page 3, Zaman columnist
 Ahmet Turan Alkan comments sarcastically on the causes of "alien
 *interest" in Turkey indicated by recent UFO sightings.    "The Turks
 are like no other people.    The way they react to events is
 different and enigmatic.    The nation is able to maintain a fa[c
 cedilla]ade of normality in the face of absolutely awful governance
 ... Although the country appears to have a government when viewed
 from outer space,  it is very difficult to determine who is
 governing Turkey."
 In a 650-word article entitled "A Long and Arduous Process" on
 page 10,  Zaman columnist All Bulac criticizes the recent European
 Court of Human Rights  (ECHR)  ruling upholding the closure of the
 Welfare party (RP),  accusing the ECHR of issuing a verdict based on
 a critical assessment of Islam rather than the RP's platform.
 Under the banner headline, "Country Reduced to Soup Kitchens,"
 Turkiye publishes a front-page report which claims that in Istanbul
