6 November 1996
In an accident on 4th November 1996 in the motorway Sosurluk-Bursa, near the airport, 2 persons were killed: the police officer Husein Kotzadag and the involved in all kinds of dirty jobs Abdullah Tzatli, while the MP of DYP and archi-bodyguard Sedat Butzak was seriously injured. When Tzatli was president of the chauvinistic organization "Grey Wolves" in 1978, he killed at Bahtselievler 7 students, members of the Turkish Labor Party. Besides he took part in the escape of Mehmet Ali Aktsa, who later attempted to murder the Pope, from the Maltepe prisons, where he was held for the murder of the writer Ipektsi. In 1984 he fled abroad, but he was arrested in Paris for drug-trafficking and extradited to Switzerland. He stayed in the Swiss prisons for a year but he escaped again. He was shown in the red cards of Interpol for years, but he was going about in Turkey with police officers and MPs. Moreover he went round with a diplomatic green passport. Why the Turkish state protected him? Why wasn't he arrested?
The killed police officer was the right-hand man of Home Minister Mehmet Agar. When Agar and his predeccesor Netzdet Menzir were Inspector Generals, he was the backbone of the police organization. The injured MP belonged to DYP and was bodyguard at Siverek.
From all this backstage some significant conclusions can be drawn. Tzatli's gang was connected to Mehmet Agar and directed by the Inspector vice-General Korkut Eken. The members of the team were supplied with false ID cards and green passports from the Police General Directorate. They came and went to Germany, Holland, Belgium, Hungary and Azerbaitzan for drug-trafficking. Because they took part in operations against the PKK, they were authorized for all sorts of illegalities. It should be noted that the ongoing war between the PKK and the Turkish state has created a financial crisis. The state, in turn, has organized the international drug-trafficking.
The statement of the British Foreign Minister that 80% of the drugs come to Europe from Turkey is becoming now more comprehensible. If it wasn't organized by the state that formidable network wouldn't function so easily in Turkey. In Kurdistan every 2-3 kms, there is a control from gendarmes, rangers or soldiers. How can these networks function without any connection to the state? State officers are involved in drug-trafficking and their cars are used in such activities. It is obvious that Turkey sinks in the gutter. On 5th November 1996 the main columnist of "Hurriyet" Oktay Eksi wrote about the accident: "The turkish state is sunk up to the ears in the gutter of murders, looting, drug-trafficking and intrigues".
