The reluctance of Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu not to confirm or deny information that came to light on Wednesday about a plan to assassinate the mayor of Istanbul, Ekrem Imamoglu, by jihadists, triggers conspiracy scenarios. According to SIGMA Istanbul correspondent Maria Zacharaki.
According to SIGMA Istanbul correspondent Maria Zacharaki, Turkey’s Interior Minister said that from time to time information arrives from the secret services for politicians or very popular personalities, this information is evaluated and, if necessary, reported to the bodyguard . from them.
Istanbul General Security, for its part, does not deny the existence of the relevant information, but denies that there was an assassination attempt against the mayor or that there was an arrest for this matter.
Climate of fear
However, the Hurriyet newspaper reported that some prominent figures may be targeted in an assassination attempt in Turkey in the coming days, similar to the assassination of a nuclear scientist in Iran last weekend.
Another section of the press reports that threats against opposition figures in Turkey have increased following criticism of the government by the leader of the opposition party Kemal Kilicdaroglu. He had accused the government of freeing the leader of the mafia and drug traffickers while incarcerating political prisoners.
Potential perpetrators
In fact, Fuat Ugur, a well-known Turkish journalist whose articles are published in pro-government articles, wrote an article on Saturday in which he claimed that the leader of the official opposition could be the victim of murder.
Turkish media have reported that the alleged perpetrators against the mayor of Istanbul were linked to the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) and that the order came from senior members of the jihadist organization.
