Detainee operations in the scope of the investigation initiated by the Ankara Prosecutor General’s Office regarding the 2014 Kobani incidents were reported to continue at the Ankara Anti-Terror Branch (TEM) Directorate.
Former Justice Minister Prof. Dr. Hikmet Sami Türk, on the other hand, regarding the operation said: “If a crime is actually committed, it must be addressed. But this must be done in a timely manner. An investigation is needed while the evidence is still fresh and witnesses can still describe the incident. Bringing the Kobani incidents to trial after 6 years makes people wonder ‘Where have you been so far?
The operations were carried out in 7 provinces after the Ankara Prosecutor General’s Office issued arrest warrants against 82 suspects as part of the investigation of the actions in the Kobani events in 2014, in which former co-chairs were also detained. of the HDP, Selahattin Demirtaş and Figen Yüksekdağ. HDP co-chair Pervin Buldan said yesterday at a press conference at party headquarters that the investigation was “political” and said: “This is a dagger against democracy.”
Former Justice Minister Prof. Dr. Hikmet Sami Türk, in his statement to Cumhuriyet regarding the investigation, drew attention to the fact that the evidence had already been collected in the interim period and said: “Was the evidence during this time, were they properly stored? Why have you waited so long? The judiciary must work quickly. This is one of the elements of a fair trial. But this was not followed. This appears to be the result of a recent attitude towards HDP. The hdp’y we kick out of the system, we make the hdp’l politicians unable to function, something that is not true regarding Turkey’s political balances. maintain proper working conditions, legal political movements in Turkey, we have to expel from the political system. Protecting the integrity of Turkey, but it happens. When you do the opposite, you are following an inclusive, not inclusive policy. The handling of this incident by the judiciary after 6 years does not appear to be a direct action of the judiciary. The factor that affects the prosecutor’s action is not the judicial process, it creates the impression of orders from above. “
‘MAGDUR MUST NOT BE CREATED’
The former president of the Izmir Bar Association, lawyer Aydın Öternas, stated that it is normal for investigations to take a long time, but it is controversial to extend it for 6 years: “We cannot see the file because the investigation was carried out in secret. A 6-year investigation is a situation that does not correspond to the normal course of life. However, new evidence has been obtained and the investigation may have been renewed in light of this evidence. We do not know what is new to expand the investigation. Indeed, it is important that the trial is fair and that the universal standards of law are applied. If this research is carried out calculating the political future, it would be very bad. It is essential that a trial is conducted in a way that is not particularly affected by political power and that political victims are not believed. ”
Meanwhile, to the file prepared by the police were added the forensic reports of 37 people who lost their lives in the events, crime scene reports, witness statements, expert and fire department reports, and police reports from 35 provinces and 96 districts where the events occurred. The Ankara Terrorist Crimes Prosecutor’s Office made efforts to find and archive the missing evidence from the provinces where the incidents occurred.
The publications of the agencies and media under the control of the armed terrorist organization PKK / KCK about the Kobani incidents were included in investigative documents. On the other hand, HDP MPs and some party members in Kars organized a march in support of the detained mayor of Kars Ayhan Bilgen. At the protest the slogan “Ayhan, the president is not alone” was shouted.
