The Night of July 15, Police Radio: Marginal Groups Armed

   Major. Murat Ertaş is an officer who very closely witnessed the events that took place on the night of July 15 in the Turkish General Staff Headquarters, that could not protect itself and also was completely concerned about its survival. As a heroic Turkish officer trying to reach the end of the process without anyone's nosebleed, he interpreted the situation that night with today's knowledge and expressed the following at the court in response to the understanding that accused innocent people of committing a coup by making compulsive inferences contrary to the usual course of life:

    “If a person is not directed by others, he can find out at the earliest that there was a coup in this country, only around 1-2 o'clock (a.m), as stated in the indictment. However, it is not logical to explain that the defendants who watched the events that night from the guard box in the perimeter security and did not come into contact with any means of communication, like me, knew the coup or that they became aware after a while. My cell phone was not with me that night. I did not come into contact with any means of communication. Therefore, my situational awareness was not at a sufficient level. I thought that the incidents were a terrorist attack and took place only in the General Staff headquarters. Thinking that the General Staff Headquarters, which was attacked with the knowledge and perception of that day, had committed a coup cannot be explained with reason and logic, nor can it be associated with conventional coups. That night, I was thinking that a group of malevolent intentions, intermingled with the citizen, could cause serious incidents by bringing the people and their soldiers against each other, infiltrate the headquarters, assassinate the commanders, or enter the headquarters and discredit the Turkish Armed Forces. "

 

People gathered in front of the headquarters and the distribution of long barreled weapons and ammunition to the group called "Marginal Group" on police radio 

    That night, the Major Ertas took the initiative for the security of the barracks with a military and professional reflex, in the continuation of his defense; as a soldier confronted with the people, that night, he thinks that the people there could be divided into two categories, the first category, which constitutes a large part of the people, the heroes who have common-sense and acting rationally and also were only waiting outside the barracks, while the second category was partially armed and about 150. He explains firsthand that these were the armed provocateurs who were mixed with the people that night and they were well prepared for this night way before.

    “Dear Excellency (the Judge), it was repeatedly explained by some of the defendants that that night there were provocateurs, misleading the public and that these people were better prepared than the people who were alleged to be putschists. Now I will give you an interesting piece of information on this topic. At 04:37, the person with “the center” code in Tuzluçayır saying that, these marginal groups were told to be already armed. “The people are also masked, okay!”, the announcement goes. Now I am asking you, who is this masked marginal group?

Again, from the police radio conversations that were recorded that night:

    The person with radio code “2110” at 01:16; “I call out to all the elements working everywhere in the Center, Beştepe.” He can say that “anyone with a gun will be shot”, and repeats it to be understood, thinking that his instruction would be strange at the time. “All of our personnel in the conflict zone will take the safety of their lives and shoot anyone with guns they see, they will take down what they see”, he says. Another example is the person with the radio code “2036” at 03:09; “I repeat, except the Chief of General Staff, all TAF personnel are suspicious for us. He says, "Let our friends act accordingly."


Snipers Placed in the Event Area Opening Shoot at the Points, Including the Innocent People, without Targeting Themselves

Mustafa Avcu Killed with a Sniper shot

    One of the signs that preparations were made way in advance for that night was the presence of snipers placed in the areas around the General Staff Headquarters and the sniper shots they made without targeting to the points where the innocent people were sent to death by malevolent people. In Ertaş's statement:

     “As far as we can determine from the directions of the shots fired by the snipers with the intention of killing, snipers were positioned in the parliament garden behind the columns between the Navy Headquarter and the underpass, as indicated in the administrative investigation report, and around the Gendarmerie General Command building. There is also the possibility of civilians killed or injured as a result of these shots. The striking point in this matter is the situation of Martyr Mustafa Avcu. A steel core bullet was extracted from the body of Mustafa Avcu, who was claimed to be martyred as a result of the fire opened from the General Staff Headquarters. A similar core was extracted from a body of a person who was shot by the police at the Gendarmerie General Command with a sniper gun. This type of bullet cannot be fired with the weapons found in the General Staff, it can only be used with sniper weapons. In this case, it is revealed that Martyr Mustafa Avcu was not killed by a defendant who was tried here in this case and was obviously shot by the sniper gun made by the police from outside the General Staff. "

    Major. Ertaş, who very closely witnessed the events in and around the headquarters and the police's attitude that night, and which cannot be explained rationally, as a result, it is very clear that thousands of innocent citizens may have been harmed, the police distributed long-barreled weapons and ammunition to the malevolent groups as follows:

    “Similarly, some of the defendants who made statements here stated that they saw many people with guns and knives in the headquarters building or around the General Staff that night. You may see them all unimportant. Now I will provide you with more concrete information and explain that weapons were distributed to the citizens by the police that night, with the radio records prepared by the police. At 02:20; “ the citizen lynch soldiers, citizens shoot , citizens shoot the soldiers and so on. The citizens are armed and uses their gun randomly.”

    The person with the radio code “2918” at 04:42; “In front of the Provincial Security Directorate, they distribute the ammunition without looking anyone’s identity (cards). Citizens also take them. Let's warn about this. We made the necessary warning, but they still continue to distribute. The civilian people take the ammunition given there.”

    Based on this call, the person with a radio code of “2680”; “yes, the announcing station is telling the truth. We got 2-3 people out of the way, most of the ammunition goes to civilians, okay, he says.”

    Again at 04:58, the person with the radio code “29931”; The distribution of weapons within the Provincial Police Department came to an end. There are no long-barreled guns left now, Sir! There are also people who could not be able to take, the vehicle is moving.”

    “This means that the weapons and ammunition brought to the Provincial Security Directorate by vehicles were distributed to the citizens, even the ammunition of the civilians who were armed before was finished and ammunition was supplied again. Now consider who they might have killed or injured, knowing or not knowing where and against whom the weapons used were used. No investigation has been made on these weapons either. "
