BBC: Turkish press split on presidency

Excerpt:
Turkish newspapers have expressed a mixture of approval and unease after the foreign minister was named as the ruling party's candidate for president.

Many praised what they saw as an act of self-sacrifice by the prime minister in giving up his chance of the post and picking a candidate seen as more moderate and secular."
