Today's newspapers have focused on the dramatic story of Turkey's involvement in the freeing of four captive French journalists held in Syria, the prime minister hitting the presidential campaign trail in Germany and a costly 1-1 draw for league leaders Fenerbahce in their derby with city rivals Besiktas.

Most Turkish dailies covered Istanbul football team Fenerbahce’s costly draw with city rivals Besiktas – a result which has delayed it from declaring the championship.

MILLIYET published the headline: “No championship at the derby match,” reporting on the 1-1 in draw on matchday 30 of the Turkish Spor Toto Super League on Sunday.

Daily RADIKAL ran with “One point to the championship” reporting that if Fenerbahce can win one point against Caykur Rizespor next week, it will declare victory in the Turkish league.
