Ömer Faruk Gergerlioğlu (DEM): “15 Temmuz’un arkasında Roboski-Hulusi Akar ilişkisi ile Suriye var"

DEM Party MP Ömer Faruk Gergerlioğlu is the only MP in the Parliament who continues to investigate and question the background of the July 15, 2016 coup attempt, whose report from the multi-party "Coup Investigation Commission" was hastily covered up, or, in his words, "thrown in the trash." No effort in this direction is observed from the others. The Turkish media did not even systematically follow the military-officer coup trials. On the 10th anniversary of this massive and traumatic event, whose dark aspects still outweigh its known aspects, and which led Turkey to increasingly slide towards autocracy, with a large segment of society, including the elite, choosing to believe the official narrative, Gergerlioğlu shares here for the first time the interviews he has been conducting for a long time with the coup convicts, detainees, and defendants in prison. Some prominent questions and answers: What did the Speaker of Parliament, Kurtulmuş, say about the report being thrown in the trash? * Was the person who planned the coup the then Chief of General Staff, Hulusi Akar? * Was the coup a security operation limited to Erdoğan and eight others? * Did Akar and Güler give the "order to shoot" regarding the Roboski massacre, and why? * If Akar backed out on the night of the coup, was it because of the debt he still owes and the file related to Roboski? * Was the coup attempt actually the surface manifestation of the internal army conflict between the officers tried in the Ergenekon case and others, a purge and massacre resembling the "night of the long knives"? * Was this a "coup by FETÖ-affiliated officers" as portrayed to the public, or a haphazard uprising involving officers of different identities who hated Erdoğan?
