Having looked to see what, if any, news reports there may have been in the mainland Turkish press about the Afrika attacks, expecting that there would of course be no reports at all .... until today when I found the item which I think really does deserve a complete new thread as a VERY major topic in itself ... so I have started that new thread with the following comment:
Full respects to ORHAN KEMAL CENGİZ for being the first journalist (that I know of) who has dared raise the issue of the Turkish deep state and Cyprus, saying: "Today I would like to tell you about other possible crime links that are connected to the Ergenekon gang and that are, unfortunately, not being investigated AT ALL." -- will any other journalists ask similar questions - feedback would be welcome!
The full article has been posted in Cyprus Forum at:
http://www.cyprus-forum.com/cyprus34820.htmlRelevant extract:
While Oran was being threatened, an attempted murder occurred in northern Cyprus. Mustafa Yalçın, an ultra-nationalist Turkish citizen from Turkey attempted to kill Şener Levent, editor-in-chief of the Africa newspaper, which had previously been bombed and attacked. The attacker said he wanted to kill the editor because of his newspaper's anti-Turkey and anti-Turkish Cyprus stance.
Was it a coincidence that the threats by TİT in Turkey and the attacks in Cyprus started simultaneously? Maybe.
When Ergenekon suspects carried out an armed attack to kill judges in the Council of State in 2006, at exactly the same time explosives were planted in the car of Ali Osman Tabak, a columnist of the Africa newspaper in Cyprus. Was this timing a coincidence? Maybe.
When Kutlu Adalı, a well-known dissident with regard to the status quo in Cyprus, was killed in 1996, the Turkish Gladio's (Ergenekon) hitman, Abdullah Çatlı, was on the island. Was this a coincidence, I don't think so.
There are many interesting facts I think; and none of them were a coincidence. Did you know that many Ergenekon suspect are citizens of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (KKTC) as well as citizens of Turkey?
