Why Was Semih Terzi Targeted and Killed on July 15? – Part 2

What are the things that Semih Terzi knows about the Operations and Activities in Syria?

Due to his position and duties, Semih Terzi was knowledgeable for all activities that were coordinated with both the Syrian and Iraqi operation areas and the MIT. Semih Terzi was being targeted because of the information he knew about Syria.

(Adapted from the defense of Colonel Fırat Alakuş (aka "terrifying colonel" depicted by Hulusi Akar for the purpose of creating a perception) who is on trial in the Special Forces Case.)

What is this information?

• With which radical organizations some of the Syrians trained within the scope of Educate-Equip activities are affiliated with,

To be recalled, in December 2015 the USA unilaterally and without informing Turkey, announced that it withdrew from the Train-Equip project, which it launched jointly with Turkey in February 2015, and this was met with a serious reaction by Turkey. It was found interesting that the US side left without any notice to the Turkish side from an activity that was mutually agreed upon. The US side said this was due to "difficulty finding people with the right mindset and ideology, as well as the capacity to fight IS militants." At that time, it was discussed that the MIT, under the control of Erdoğan and Hakan Fidan, was shipping weapons to radical groups in Syria.

• Some of the leader-level personnel belonging to the Free Syrian Army were kidnapped and delivered to the Syrian Intelligence. Terzi was also knowledgeable about by which organizations and for what purpose these kidnappings were handled, and how much money was received in return.
• How much weapons and ammunition aid were given to which organizations under the name of the Free Syrian Army in Syria, by which public officials, which radical organization and how many high-ranking members were treated in private hospitals under the name of free Syrian army fighters, for what amount, frankly, for what bribe, and who were responsible for these.
• Aid to dissidents by third countries, for example Qatar. How much of the financial resource delivered by Qatar to the dissidents for the purpose of buying weapons and ammunition was spent for the purpose, and how much remained and how much of the remaining resource was used by public officials, how much was embezzled by which means.
• Which institution personnel are involved in the fuel smuggling from Syria to Turkey, their activities in this organization and how the profits are shared.
• What facts are not reflected to the public about our plane downed in Syria and the downing of the Russian plane, and how they are tried to be covered up. Which public officials and for what purpose serve the arms smuggling to Syria.

When Semih Terzi's close knowledge of the issues presented above and the smuggling of weapons to ISIS with onion trucks by former Special Forces personnel such as Nuri Gökhan Bozkır, who was known to be under the auspices of the MAK Regiment at that time, are considered together, it is better understood for whom Semih Terzi posed a threat.
