They might even release him by force
16 November 2009 / STAR MEHMET ALTAN,
While Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was addressing Parliament, my phone rang. A news station said Col. Dursun Çiçek had been released.
Obviously, the “junta” members who prepared the Action Plan to Fight Reactionaryism intended to send a message by calculating this coincidence. What was the message? Do not touch my junta suspect. Why was Dursun released just 46 hours after he was arrested when the forensic report revealed that he had signed the Action Plan to Fight Reactionaryism? Because he is not a flight risk. Was there anyone in the past who was arrested on charges of “being involved in a coup” and who was then released on the grounds of “having a definite address”? As far as I know, there was not.
