Wednesday, 1 July 2009After having been questioned by prosecutors working on the "Ergenekon" investigation, Colonel Dursun Cicek was arrested by a court on Wednesday.
A Turkish newspaper recently published a news article that said that Colonel Cicek was involved in the preparation of a document to "end the Justice and Development (AK) Party and the Fethullah Gulen Congregation".
Chief of General Staff Gen. Ilker Basbug held a press conference on Friday regarding the alleged anti-government plot document published in the Taraf daily, following the decision of the Military Prosecutor's decision not to launch prosecution regarding allegations as it assessed that the document was not drafted at General Staff Headquarters, and such a document did not exist.
He severely criticized news reports over an alleged anti-government plot document as part of "a campaign to smear the armed forces."
"We believe that this piece of paper has been forged by certain circles to wear out and smear the Turkish Armed Forces," Gen. Basbug was quoted as saying. |
