According to the document, seized from the computer of Turhan Çömez, a former deputy from the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) and a suspect at large in the Ergenekon trial, a man called Yusuf Ziyad, who is said to be a Kurd living in the Kurdish-controlled region of northern Iraq, says JİTEM; retired Gen. Veli Küçük, who is currently under arrest as part of the Ergenekon investigation; and the National Police Department were behind the Dink murder.
It is also claimed in the document that Küçük and another retired general, H.K., were behind a number of unsolved murders and terrorist activities in northern Iraq. On the 13th page of the document, Ergenekon suspects including Çömez, retired Gen. Hurşit Tolon, former National Police Department Special Operations Unit Deputy Chairman İbrahim Şahin, retired Gen. Şener Eruygur, retired Capt. Muzaffer Tekin, lawyer Kemal Kerinçsiz, former Organized Crime Unit Director Adil Serdar Saçan, Workers' Party (İP) Chairman Doğu Perinçek and journalist Yalçın Küçük are mentioned under the title of “Those leading these formations.”
In the indictment, a conversation between Emin Gürses, an associate professor who is currently under arrest as part of the Ergenekon investigation and another Ergenekon suspect, Lt. Col. Mustafa Dönmez, also gives clues about the Dink murder. In the phone recording, Gürses tells Dönmez, “The murder of Hrant Dink has been a good kind of warning to those people.”
