Why Was Semih Terzi Targeted and Killed on July 15? - Part 3 “Iraq Information”

What were the things that Semih Terzi knew about the Activities Carried Out in Iraq?

During his tenure in the Special Forces, Semih Terzi had served actively in the operations carried out against the PKK Terrorist Organization in the North of Iraq and in the Headquarters of the Special Forces Command in the region. For this reason, he knew both the region and the important actors of the region closely.

Benefiting from his previous duties, especially due to his duty as Special Forces Brigade Commander in 2016, important matters known by Semih Terzi are presented below.

• Facts about the ransom bargaining with Daesh for the rescue of the personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, when they were held hostage in the Mosul Consulate, in this context, what percent of the ransom allegedly given to DAESH was embezzled by which institution official to buy how many residences. It was used to buy 17 residences according to one rumor and 26 according to another.
• The inside view of the Uludere incident, which was concocted with the aim of hindering the successful air operations carried out by the Turkish Armed Forces in the north of Iraq, and how and why the personnel of which institution caused this mistake.
• How an institution's personnel prevented action against the deliberate false intelligence for an event like Uludere to occur again, and how he was targeted by which institution and for what purpose.
• What orders Zekai Aksakallı gave in order to benefit which politician, contrary to the directives of Chief of General Staff Hulusi Akar, and how he (Terzi) prevented their execution.

There is a Turkmen proverb; A man does not travel, his name travels. Semih Terzi is a very honest person. In no way does he have a structure to be involved in arrogance and corruption.

Now here is a concrete example of the external factors that targeted Semih Terzi. While Semih Terzi was in Kilis as the ÖKİ 2 Commander, he wrote a message to Halil Soysal, who was the ÖKİ 1 Commander in Silopi. The message he sent in the spring of 2016, stating that the quality of the ammunition supplied from Iraq and sent to Turkey was not suitable. What is this?

There are approximately $16 million worth of weapons and ammunition purchased from Iraq by Special Forces Command. This is illegal and fraudulent. The Turkish Armed Forces has no responsibility or duty to purchase weapons and ammunition abroad. It has no such authority.

This authority is only a legal authority granted to the MIT Undersecretariat. Turkish Armed Forces and therefore Special Forces do not have such authority. Special Forces Command units play an active role in this corruption, which is now against the legal regulations, in the smuggling of these weapons and ammunition from Iraq to Turkey and then their distribution to the FSA groups in Syria.

By whose orders? By the orders of Zekai Aksakallı!

Why? Because this is actually an obvious situation that is against the law here. In addition, $16 million worth of weapons and ammunition are purchased. Most of these weapons are not suitable for the quality of weapons and ammunition.

Due to his personality, position and duties, Semih Terzi was aware of all activities related to Syria and Iraq that were carried out in coordination with the MIT. And due to his nationalist approach and his attitude of not acting out of command drew the anger and grudges of the famous factions and cliques.

Semih Terzi knew very well how much of the disguised appropriation claimed to have been spent in Iraq and transferred to Syria was embezzled by whom, and how the oil purchased from DAESH was imported and marketed to Turkey through the Iraqi Regional Government and with the cooperation of famous local politicians. 

That’s why he was on target.

To be expressed with the irony of the courts, "If Semih Terzi gives the zakat of his talent to an average man, even he will take 40 Zekai to the water and bring them thirsty."

Against those who do not refrain from using the elite and heroic Special Forces Command and Mobilization Regional Organizations for their own and their secret groups' goals and interests, the soldiers who had worked hard to turn the union into an elite and special unit were purged.

The country's trained, patriotic and virtuous soldiers were baited by people who would disguise themselves for their personal and material gains.
