MEETINGS MONDAY, OCTOBER 15 U.S. pastor released from house arrest, flown out of Turkey By ZEYNEP BILGINSOY Associated Press IZMIR, Turkey — A Turkish court on Friday convicted an American pas- tor of terror links but released him from house arrest and allowed him to leave the country, removing a major irritant in fraught ties between two NATO allies that still disagree on a host of other issues. The court near the western city of Izmir sentenced North Carolina native Andrew Brunson to just over three years in prison for allegedly helping terror groups, but let him go because the 50-year-old evangelical pastor had already spent nearly two years in detention. An earlier charge of espio- nage was dropped. Hours later, Brunson was trans- ported to Izmir’s airport and was flown out of Turkey, where he had lived for two decades. He was expected to be flown to the U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany. “I love Jesus. I love Turkey,” an emotional Brunson, who had main- tained he was innocent of all charges, told the court during Friday’s hearing. He tearfully hugged his wife Norine Lyn as he awaited the court decision. “PASTOR BRUNSON JUST RELEASED. WILL BE HOME SOON!” U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted after the American was driven out of a Turkish prison in a convoy. The release of Brunson, 50, was a diplomatic triumph for Trump, who is counting on the support of evangeli- cal Christians for Republican candi- dates ahead of congressional elections in November. It could also benefit Turkey, allow- ing the government to focus on an escalating diplomatic crisis over Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi contribu- U M AT I L L A - M O R R O W COUNTY HEAD START, 11:30 a.m., Head Start boardroom, 110 N.E.

Turkish officials suspect Khashoggi was killed in the consulate; Saudi officials deny it. Additionally, Turkey could now hope that the U.S. will lift tariffs on Turkish steel and aluminum imports, injecting some confidence into an economy rattled by high inflation and a mountain of foreign currency debt. Friday’s ruling followed witness testimony that seemed to partly under- mine the prosecutor’s allegations and highlighted concerns that Turkey had been using the U.S. citizen as diplo- matic leverage. Turkey bristled at sug- gestions that its judicial system is a foreign policy instrument, and has accused the U.S. of trying to bend Turkish courts to its will with tariffs in August that helped to send the Turkish currency into freefall. Brunson’s release doesn’t resolve disagreements over U.S. support for Kurdish fighters in Syria, as well as a plan by Turkey to buy Russian mis- siles. Turkey is also frustrated by the refusal of the U.S. to extradite Fethul- lah Gulen, a Pennsylvania-based Mus- lim cleric accused by Turkey of engi- neering a 2016 coup attempt. The court dropped an espionage charge against Brunson, who had faced up to 35 years in jail if convicted of all the charges against him. He was among tens of thousands of people, mostly Turks, who were caught up in a government crackdown after the failed coup. He was accused of committing crimes on behalf of Gulen as well as Kurdish militants who have been fighting the Turkish state for decades. Earlier, the court called two wit- nesses following tips from witness Levent Kalkan, who at the previous hearing had accused Brunson of aid- ing terror groups.
