| 2015-08-22 |
| [AA.TR] An Ankara court has accepted Friday an indictment accusing 10 coppers of belonging to a group that is allegedly attempting to overthrow the Turkish government. The suspects are charged with "being member of an armed terrorist organization" -- what government officials call the Gulenist Terrorist Organization -- and "gathering personal information of ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... , and his family" for the aforementioned group. According to the indictment, the suspects gathered the information via a system called DEVA -- Detailed Data Analysis System -- which security forces use to store the personal data of each individual in the country for security purposes. The coppers, who had also been previously charged for "seizing personal information illegally", reportedly conveyed the information gathered to the group in 2012-2013, the indictment said. The Turkish government accuses the Gulen movement, led by U.S.-based Turkish preacher Fethullah Gulen, of plotting to overthrow the government by infiltrating state institutions, mainly the police and the judiciary. |
