Prosecutor Zekeriya Öz, who runs the Ergenekon case, has asked the General Staff about the content of Ergenekon suspect Veli Küçük’s personal organizer.

According to Star’s report, Öz asked General Staff Military Prosecutor whether the personal organizers that mentions collaborating with the Kurdish Workers Party (PKK) and includes a document with a phrase that says “It was found appropriate to infiltrate the valued, talented and young officers of the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) to the upper echelon of the PKK command structure” were military documents; whether they were documents about the TSK.

The General Staff replied by stating that some of the notes were fully and legally about Gendarmerie’s duty, authority, organization, intelligence and operations and some of the information could have jeopardized the lives of those whose names were mentioned in the notes and it could have caused speculations.

The military prosecutor announced that the said documents were created imitating military writing techniques and using computer techniques. The prosecutor also emphasized that recently some individuals who pretended to be officers were trying to attend to their interests by resorting to illegal means.
