Bad Dog's JournalZaman newspaper: Defiant last edition as Turkey police raid
Source: BBC
Turkey's biggest newspaper, Zaman, has condemned its takeover by the authorities in a defiant last edition published just before police raided it.
Saturday's edition said Turkey's press had experienced "one of the darkest days in its history".
Turkish police raided Zaman's offices hours after a court ruling placed it under state control, but managers were still able to get the edition to print.
Zaman readers are protesting against the takeover outside the offices.
Unconfirmed reports say police have now dispersed the protest, numbering about 500 people, with tear gas and water cannon.
The paper is closely linked to the Hizmet movement of influential US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, which Turkey says is a "terrorist" group aiming to overthrow President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government.
Mr Gulen was once an ally of Mr Erdogan but the two fell out.
Many Hizmet supporters have been arrested.
The government in Ankara has come under increasing international criticism over its treatment of journalists.
