Newspapers Taken Over in Turkey are Printing Again, and They’re Now Pro-Government

Turkish daily newspapers Bugün and Millet resumed printing on Friday, Today’s Zaman reports. On Wednesday, the newspapers and television stations owned by Koza Ipek Holding were taken over by a government-appointed trustee board ahead of the Nov. 1 parliamentary elections. Koza Ipek’s headquarters were raided in the takeover and journalists were arrested.

On Thursday, the trustees stopped Bugün and Millet from printing, but both published on Twitter.
