Journalist killed after criticizing Gen. Galip Mendi, his wife says
İlkay Adalı, the wife of a prominent journalist assassinated in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (KKTC), said her husband was killed after criticizing a member of the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK).

Kutlu Adalı was assassinated in the KKTC in July 1996.

Adalı's wife's remarks followed recent statements of Freedom and Solidarity Party (ÖDP) deputy Ufuk Uras, who said if light can be shed on the assassination of Adalı, the KKTC branch of Ergenekon, a shadowy crime network that has alleged links within the state and is suspected of plotting to topple the government, may be exposed.

Kocaeli Garrison Commander Lt. Gen. Galip Mendi, who paid a visit last year to two suspects in the Ergenekon case, retired generals Şener Eruygur and Hurşit Tolon, is involved in the assassination of Kutlu, according his wife. Mendi, who was the head of the civilian defense organization in the KKTC at that time, was criticized in Kutlu's articles published in the Yenidüzen daily over charges that a car belonging to the civilian defense organization was used in the robbery of St. Barnabas Museum on March 14, 1996, which is known as the "St. Barnabas raid." Kutlu was shot to death in front of his home after he wrote the articles criticizing Mendi.

"When my husband said the St. Barnabas raid was linked to the civilian defense organization directorate in his columns, he began to receive threats and was killed a short while later. Mendi was the head of this institution back then," she said.

In 2005 the European Court of Human Rights decided that the investigation following the murder was inadequate and fined Turkey 95,000 euros, including 20,000 euros in damages for his widow.

Sad incident. I personally knew Kutlu Adalı. His daughter and son were my best friends in school. I hope the responsibles of his assassination can be found and punished.

Shameful behaviour. Sorry to hear this affected you personally insan.

Explains why so many refuse to criticise anything/anyone to do with the occupation.

It has nothing to do with the "occupation", Oracle. That sh*t, either u call it "deep state" or illegal formations in some government offices, harbour those triggermen. They exist almost in every less developed country; especially those which have big political crisis.

Those Turkish "Generals" and their set-up wouldn't be in Cyprus if it wasn't for the occupation!

It's bad enough it happens in Turkey, but with them expanding into Europe via the illegal occupation, they are bringing this sh*t to our door, and we cannot be dismissive of attempts to curtail freedom of speech.

Things r different from TC perspective. Some hardcore TC right wingers approve and even get involved into such criminal acts. The rest of the TCs r against such criminal acts but not the existence of Turkish troops. Criminal acts, harboured or organized by some illegal formations in some government offices or institutions r completely a different issue than the existence of Turkish troops or Turkey's guarantorship.

I don't care for your nicely articulated ( ) words ... It is precisely because the Turkish troops are illegally occupying Cyprus, that we are amassing these legion Human Rights atrocities!
