A secret report released today reveals Erdogan’s ties to ISIS, Qatar, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Libyan oil.
The report was allegedly leaked to the Turkish intelligence service (MIT), most likely by rival intelligence services.
The revelation was made inadvertently in March 2019 and in addition to the evidence that “nails” Erdogan, it is also indicative of the way the Turkish government “spreads lies, spreads conspiracies and uses the media to misinform the public, creating false stories and manipulating public opinion, “notes the Nordic Monitor.
The document in question was presented by the defense on March 21, 2019 during a hearing at the 17th Ankara Criminal Court.
This is a 19-page translated confidential report written by a foreign agent on Turkey’s weaknesses in the run-up to the 2015 elections.
“The report also contained findings on Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s ties to jihadist networks, including ISIS in Iraq and Syria, as well as his family’s oil deals with terrorist organizations and Libya and the Kurds.” .
MIT, the Nordic Monitor notes, took the anonymous author’s report and sent it to all relevant government levels, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the General Staff.
And here begins the history of propaganda. One of the copies was also found in the office of Rear Admiral Sinan Sürer, who in 2015 was head of the “First Information Assessment” at the Army General Staff.
Sourer was in charge of external counterintelligence and it was only natural that the report was also in his office.
He certainly had no idea what would come next: the organizers of the coup, always according to the Nordic Monitor, decided to use the report against him as if he were one of its authors.
In the chaos of July 15-16, 2015, the police also searched his office, registered the specific document, among other things, and sent the information to the prosecutor.
No one paid attention to this and other secret documents found there at the time.
“The MIT document contained details of President Erdogan’s relations with ISIS, Qatar, the Muslim Brotherhood and Libyan oil. However, these points were censored by pro-government media,” notes the Nordic Monitor.
In January 2019, the masterminds of the coup decided to use this document and leaked its content to the government media as if Sourer had drawn up a plan to divide Turkey.
The first part of the report, which said that Erdogan felt politically weak and what could be done to support the opposition, was leaked to the state news agency as if Sourer was its author in order to harm national interests.
The conspirators never said the document belonged to MIT and that Sourer was just one of the recipients.
And the fact that the document also mentioned “the links of Erdogan and his family with armed jihadists, participation in the ISIS oil trade, the exploitation of oil exploration in Libya and the links with the Muslim Brotherhood” was completely ignored. .
At his trial, Sourer explained exactly what the document said and how it came into his possession. “This document is an official MIT report. Every word belongs to MIT. It came to my office two or three months before the 2015 elections. I had no role in its writing.” I did not write it, “Sourer said, according to the Nordic Monitor, which then describes his “faked” course in the Turkish media.
“The author of the document was a foreigner.” It was probably written by a journalist or an agent who allegedly worked as a journalist with ties to the United Arab Emirates or a citizen of the United Arab Emirates who had some connection to Al-Jazeera, “Sourer said to court.
He also explained at length that the second part of the document, which talked about Erdogan’s relations with jihadist groups and the money route with Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood, was completely ignored by the news coverage, as it obviously did not serve the interests. of the Turkish government.
Sourer was sentenced to 141 life sentences on June 20, 2019. His appeal is still pending.
