Armenian Newspaper Weary About Being a Target in Coup Plans

Joint attorney of the Hrant Dink case Fethiye Çetin considered the allegations regarding a "Cage Operation Action Plan" as "grave and frightening". The "Cage Operation Action Plan" was supposedly worked out as a coup plan by the Naval Forces, targeting non-Muslims and aiming to charge them of their religious beliefs.

Taraf newspaper reported that the plan also included a map showing homes and offices belonging to minorities and 939 non-Muslim representatives all over Turkey.

Çetin: I am in horror...

Avukat Çetin talked to bianet and expressed her astonishment about the matter, "I am in horror right now. Some forces of this country sit down and they will make a plan to define their fellow citizens of their own country as enemies. They will kill Armenians and non-Muslims in the psychological war they conduct against the ones defined as their enemies, both in terms of supplies and casualties".

Lawyer Çetin indicated that the investigation into the cage operation has not been completed yet and is carried out confidentially. She said she let it go with evaluating the events reflected in the media.

Agos subscribers' details registered in the operation plan

Çetin stated that the Hrant Dink murder case might be merged with the Ergenekon trial in case of a tangible connection with the Dink case and a verification of the claims.

Çetin announced that new findings emerged to support the claim that Armenian Agos newspaper subscribers were subject to the operation plan, saying that the matter is also going to be followed up by the newspaper.

Hatemi: Computers stolen from Greek foundation

bianet asked Lighthouse Greek Patriarchate lawyer Kezban Hatemi whether such activities regarding non-Muslims have occurred or not. Hatemi informed bianet that computers of a Greek parochial foundation had been stolen and that the corresponding trial is pending at the Beyoğlu (Istanbul) Court.

Taraf daily declared that the prosecutors of the Ergenekon case managed to decipher a CD concerned with the plan and written by detained defendant Levent Bektaş. Accordingly, Naval Staff Major Eren Günay, currently detained in connection of ammunition found in Poyrazköy, prepared the list of ammunition intended to be uses for the planned actions.
