The Istanbul 13th High Criminal Court decided to take the statement of Ergenekon defendant Colonel Arif Doğan who had claimed to have established JITEM, the clandestine Gendarmerie Anti-Terrorism Unit.

Five people are tried together with Colonel Temizöz and Abdülhakim Güven regarding a number of unsolved murders. Güven claimed that his statement made under the name of "Ball-Point Pen" are invalid and that he signed that statement without knowing its content.

DNA tests have confirmed that bones found in Elazığ belong to Ergul, missing for 14 years. His family demand that Colonel Temizöz and JİTEM member Saluci be tried.
