“A statement came from the Prime Ministry on the Poyrazköy investigation. A criminal complaint was filed at the Justice Ministry against the press organ in question,” Güler said during a weekly press briefing on Friday.
He was referring to a probe launched after a large cache of munitions was unearthed during excavations on land owned by the İstek Foundation in İstanbul’s Poyrazköy neighborhood in April. That discovery came as part of the investigation into Ergenekon, a clandestine gang whose suspected members are currently standing trial on charges of having plotted to overthrow the government.
The office of retired Maj. Levent Bektaş was raided by police after the discovery. A CD seized in the major’s office revealed that a sinister plan against the country’s non-Muslim population would be put into operation by a team of 41 members of the Naval Forces Command. The hoped-for result from the assassinations of prominent non-Muslim figures and propaganda would be an increase in internal and external pressure on the AK Party, leading to its demise in politics, according to the plan.
Güler, however, declined to respond to questions by members of the press over a letter allegedly sent to civilian prosecutors last week by an anonymous military officer, which mentioned controversial plots by the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) against the government and the nation.
