Former Military Aide
Ali Yazıcı during the hearing of the case of assassination attempt against
President Erdoğan said “I am currently accused of assisting in the
assassination attempt. If I wanted to fulfill such a task, I was with the
President for 24hrs and I was in the perfect position to complete the task”
The case involving 47 people, 3 of which are still at large, who are
accused of trying to assassinate President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in the city of
Muğla while he was vacationing on the night of 15th July coup
attempt resumed its fourth hearing.
Due to inadequate seating at the courtroom, Muğla’s 2nd high criminal court decided to continue the
hearing at the auditorium of Muğla chamber of Commerce and Industry. Some of
convicted people were brought into the auditorium with high level of security.
Some of them were excluded from hearing and not brought to the courtroom as
they were allowed to prepare their defense statements.
At the hearing, the defense statement from each defendant were heard. At
the fourth hearing, former military aide Ali Yazıcı to President Erdoğan
offered his defense statement.
‘I
MIGHT HAVE BEEN ENTRAPPED’
Yazıcı said “he might have been entrapped on the night of the coup attempt.
I was with President Erdoğan for 24hrs and sometimes I have my gun with me.
Right now I am being accused of assisting in the assassination attempt; if I
had such intentions, I was in a much suitable position.”
In the indictment which targets Fethullah Gülen as the number one suspect,
the defendants are punished for the criminal activities such as ‘assassination
attempt to the President’, ‘violation of Constitution’, ‘crime against legislative
as well as the executive branches’, ‘being a member of a terrorist
organization’.
The prosecutor demands at least a 6-lifetime sentencing for the
assassination team who comprised of 37 soldiers including one fugitive.
