News today that 'Mr TRNC', Rauf Denktash has links to Ergenekon, the group of ultra-nationalists that sought to overthrow Turkey's Justice and Development Party (AKP) and planned to 'intervene' in the possible implementation of the Annan Plan.

But what makes the ongoing Ergenekon saga interesting for Cypriots is the allegation that the group was plotting to “intervene” to prevent the UN’s Annan plan going to referendum in the north of the island by sparking a military takeover. And what makes the story yet more significant for Cypriots is the allegation, made by a number of journalists in Turkey, that former Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash was to be the one who would give instructions on when and how the takeover was to be carried out. These allegations are based on extracts from the diary of retired Navy General Ozden Ornek, which apparently stated that he and two other retired generals had received “secret messages” from Denktash in February 2004, and that the “theory and practice” of what the generals were to carry out was to be “as directed by Denktash”.

Could Baba Denktash find himself behind bars?

Wouldn't it be even more ironic if he sought refuge in the RoC to avoid arrest?

I don't know how welcome he would be, though I suppose his old friend Mr Clerides might put him up for a few nights.

No, but he is a citizen, and I don't see how he could be extradited to Turkey when Turkey doesn't recognise the RoC.

Given the size of the man's stature it might be a heavy burden on Turkey to uplift him and have him charged in Turkey !!
