Ergenekon Suspect Küçük’s Personal Notes: Iraq Trade, Weapons, Intelligence
It is claimed that a personal organizer showing the monies taken from the semi trucks going to the Northern Iraq from the entry point of Habur in the southeastern Turkey was found in the house of the retired Brigadier General Veli Küçük, who was arrested on January 26 for the charge of being a member in the Ergenekon Organization and “provoking people against government.”
It is stated in the appendices of the Ergenekon Indictment penned on July 10 that the black personal organizer with the title of BM Firms Group did not include what was transferred, but the monies that were to be collected from the semi trucks.
“Transfer payments to Iraq…”
According to the allegation, a person named “Hüsam” was to be paid 1200-1500 US dollars to accompany the convoys to Baghdad, 1500-1700 US dollars to the Southern Iraq and 1600 – 1800 US dollars to Ramadiye-Felluce-Tikrit.
In the organizer there is a passage that says, “200 trucks will arrive in Mersin harbor from Britain. They will go to Basra, passing from the Habur entry point. They will be transferred in groups of twenties. Hüsam wants 1500 dollars. We agreed on 1750 dollars, 250 being for the company” (262nd page of the 51st file). There is also a telephone number in the organizer about a person named Cüneyt Yüksel.
The notes also say the convoys were to be 8 to 10 semi trucks long and that they were supposed to add their profit to this price.
A note in the organizer regarding whereabouts of Abdullah Öcalan
In a gray colored organizer belonging to the year 1991, which was found in Küçük’s house, there is a note on its July 23rd page regarding whereabouts of Abdullah Öcalan, the leader of the Kurdish Workers Party (PKK), who is in prison for life at the moment: “Abdullah Öcalan is in Cemil Esat’s house in the town of Kardaha in Lazkiye January 7, 1993).”
It is thought that Cemal Esat is the brother of Syrian President Hafız Esad and the uncle of Beşar Esad.
Küçük needs “a gun with a silencer”…
Moreover, the 142nd page of the 47th file points out to a need list found in Küçük’s organizer and there is a “gun with a silencer” in this list.
Küçük states his needs on the page dated October 21, 1987 of his organizer under the title of “the orders of the Law and Order Commander” and these are:
A gun with a silencer
An explosive trigger controlled remotely
Original material to be used in illegal activities
Allocations should not be interrupted (EÖ/EZÖ)
