Turkish police arrested the online editor of the Cumhuriyet newspaper on Friday, an unidentified police official said.
Oguz Guven, the editor-in-chief of cumhuriyet.com.tr, was taken to Istanbul police headquarters, the official said on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on talking to the media.
The official said an arrest warrant was issued for Guven after the online edition published an article about the death of Mustafa Alper, the chief prosecutor of Denizli province, in southwest Turkey, who was killed in a car crash on Wednesday.
Early on Friday, Guven tweeted, "I am being taken into custody", without elaborating further.
Sigh. Poor Turkey.

My thoughts too. Right now they are members of NATO where the codes for the nukes must be signed by the US president. It's not far fetched to consider a realignment with Putin (or the middle east) and North Korea style testing, building and lashing out. Not to forget incursions into neighboring countries. Or maybe the old style state sponsored terrorism which is a whole another level than the loose gangs acting out right now.
Having a look at the beliefs and practices of the population, geostratic position and industrial base gives some hints of possible scenarios. However the industry may soon be lost.
