MİT truck documents prove aid to al-Qaeda and ISIL, says CHP's Tezcan
MİT truck documents prove aid to al-Qaeda and ISIL, says CHP's Tezcan
ANKARA - 22.07.2014
Video
Republican People's Party (CHP) Deputy Chairman Bülent Tezcan shared police records on Monday concerning the search of a National Intelligence Organization (MİT) truck in Adana as part of an investigation several months ago, asserting that the records prove that the Turkish government has supported radical groups in Syria and Iraq.
He said the records leave no room for doubt that the government has sent weapons and ammunition to the terrorist organizations al-Qaeda and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Syria. Tezcan held a press conference on Monday on the grounds of Parliament and shared documents about arms-laden trucks, which later proved to belong to MİT, that were stopped in Adana by security forces in January of this year. He said between 25 and 30 rockets were found in each truck. He also showed that the documents that were attached to the weaponry found on the trucks were written in Cyrillic.
He claimed that the weapons were loaded onto the trucks at Ankara Esenboğa Airport, citing official testimony from a driver of one of the trucks. Tezcan said the documents clearly show that MİT transfers weapons to armed groups in the region.
The CHP deputy chairman said anybody encouraging and provoking armed organizations will eventually find those same weapons being used on themselves. He reiterated his allegations that Turkish intelligence provides the armed organizations with ammunition and weapons. He also said the weapons that were given to ISIS have now turned against Turkish citizens and asked whether the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) government could have struck a deal with ISIS.
Tezcan also recalled a leaked recording that was broadcast on YouTube in which top security officials at the Foreign Ministry could be heard making plans to send operatives to Syria. These operative would then fire missiles at the Turkish side of the border, thus giving Turkey an excuse to attack Syria. “So have you [the government] carried the missiles you will throw at Turkey with these trucks in advance? Was it these trucks that carried the weapons used in the Reyhanlı attacks?” he asked, referring to a deadly terrorist attack in Reyhanlı, a border town in Hatay province, which caused the deaths of 53 people on May 11, 2013 and is believed to have been staged by al-Qaeda.
“Is it not a crime in international law to arm the militants of ISIL and al-Qaeda like this in the Middle East?” Tezcan asked during the press conference. “We know the answers to all of these questions and the government also knows the answers and they will one day give their answers in front of the Supreme State Council in Turkey, the name the Constitutional Court assumes while trying the current or former members of a government, and before international courts.”
He said when the search in Adana started none of the security officials carrying out the search had any idea that the trucks were owned by MİT. “The prosecutor's office on that day called the MİT regional administration, which initially said that it had no idea that such trucks would be passing through the region. Even the Adana office of MİT did not know about them, which clearly shows that this transfer operation was illegal.”
Tezcan said his disclosure marked the first time the documents had been shared with the public. He also said that there are currently several investigations regarding the trucks. “A preliminary investigation numbered 2014/P2 being conducted by the Adana Chief Public Prosecutor's Office lists MİT officials as suspects, and the investigation is looking into the claims of ‘providing arms to illegal armed terrorist organizations'.”
He said the same MİT officials are the subject of another investigation, numbered 2014/30800, again being carried out by the Adana Chief Public Prosecutor's Office. He said the investigation is also based on claims of providing arms to illegal armed terrorist organizations. “They are trying to cover up these investigations,” he said, adding: “But it is as clear as day that there were weapons on the trucks being investigated. MİT has acted as a middleman in transferring the weapons, and the government has supported the operation. This crime was committed jointly [by MİT and the government] and is probably still being committed.”
The CHP deputy chairman also said footage showing the search of the truck was available. (Cihan/Today's Zaman)

Turkey assassinated Press TV reporter: Pundit
A political analyst has termed the suspicious death of Press TV’s correspondent in Turkey, Serena Shim, as an act of “assassination” by the government of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
“The reality is that our sister Serena was assassinated by Erdogan’s regime,” Shabir Hassan Ali, a political analyst from London, said in an interview with Press TV on Sunday night, adding, “Serena was hounded in a fashion by Turkish intelligence.”
The analyst further said that she was “assassinated” because “she gave the truth about what this regime in Turkey, that has been oppressing its people, that has been oppressing the Kurdish population and that is actively working to support…this terrorist organization known as the ISIL” is doing.
The analyst further called the killing of Maya Nasser, another Press TV correspondent, in Syria an act of “assassination” by terrorist groups.
In 2012, Nasser was shot in the neck and the chest by a foreign-backed sniper in the Syrian capital Damascus.
Shim, an American citizen of Lebanese origin, was killed on Sunday as she was in Turkey to cover the ongoing war in the strategic Syrian town of Kobani.
She was going back to her hotel from a report scene in the Turkish city of Suruç when the car carrying her collided with a heavy vehicle. The identity and whereabouts of the truck driver remain unknown.
Shim covered reports for Press TV in Lebanon, Iraq, and Ukraine.
On Friday, she told Press TV that the Turkish intelligence agency had accused her of spying probably due to some of the stories she has covered about Turkey’s stance on the ISIL terrorists in Kobani and its surroundings, adding that she feared being arrested.
Shim flatly rejected accusations against her, saying she was “surprised” at this accusation “because I have nothing to hide and I have never done anything aside my job.”
Kobani and its surroundings have been under attack since mid-September, with the ISIL militants capturing dozens of nearby Kurdish villages.
Turkey has been accused of backing the ISIL militants in Syria.

A true tragedy for Serena's family and her colleagues at PressTV. A fitting tribute to her memory will be to continue to expose Erdogan's regime for what it is; the lies, deceit, criminality and bad faith of Turkey should see the light of day. Serena Shim may have physically departed but her legacy should be the search for truth in those dark places where most of us fear to tread.

Turkey under the Wahhabi, Zionist US stooge Erdogan is a lawless failed state that has harbored and supported ISIS. alNusra and AlCIAda type terrorists. Serena Shim was a honest reporter filing truthful quality reports about Turkish complicity and was silenced by MIT national intelligence thugs who have been killing opposition, Kurds, Armenians and journalists for year. SHAMEFUL.

Turkey refuses to reveal name of suspect in death of Press TV reporter
Serena Shim was killed on Sunday when her car collided with a heavy vehicle in Urfa province.
Press TV’s representative at the crash site says Turkish Gendarmerie refuses to cooperate in the case. The identity and the whereabouts of the truck driver remain unknown.
There is still no reaction from Ankara.
Shim’s family members say they do not believe their daughter died in a normal accident in Turkey.
They made the remarks during a visit by the news network’s Beirut Bureau team in Lebanon.
The family members refused to appear on camera, but said they suspected the Turkish authorities were somehow responsible for Serena’s death.
Her parents said they would pursue the matter legally.
An American citizen of Lebanese descent, Serena Shim covered many conflict zones around the world, including Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, and Ukraine.
She was on a mission on the Turkish side of the border across Syria’s strategic town of Kobani to cover the ongoing war there between the ISIL terrorists and Kurdish fighters.
Her car collided with a heavy vehicle upon return from a report scene in Suruç, a rural district of Şanlıurfa province of Turkey.
Shim had said she was among the few journalists who had obtained stories about Takfiri militants’ infiltration into Syria through the Turkish border, adding she had gained access to images showing militants crossing the border in trucks belonging to the World Food Organization and other NGOs.

I think Turkey and The U.S.A. make great 'Allies'. What I suspect is happening now, is Turkey is training,arming, funding, and then sending these I.S.I.L.mercenaries, into Syria, in U.N. Trucks no less, this was the truth that Serena Shim exposed, and why she was killed. Meanwhile, against the wishes of Turkey, The U.S.A.is dropping, by air, lethal aid to The Kurdish Fighters in Kobani Syria. So Turkey, and The U.S.A. are stabbing each other in the back now, but Turkey is going against Zionist wishes. So do not be surprised if the Zionist dominated media, now exposes Turkey for killing Press TV journalist Serena Shim, to get back at Turkey, by inciting a lot of hatred against them, which they do deserve. What Turkey did to Serena Shim, was WAY over the line, and they are going to be punished for it.

Turkey's Pivotal Role in Syria's Insurgency: PressTV Report from Inside Turkey
Serena Shim Reporting
“This investigative report by PressTV’s “In Focus” reporter Serena Shim tries to uncover the pivotal role that the Turkish government is playing in the armed terrorist uprising against the Syrian government and its people. From opening its borders so Sunni hardline religious extremists from all over the world can illegally cross into Syria, to supplying them with weapons, funding, food, and shelter, Turkey’s Erdogan-led government has been acting as a rogue state, a state-sponsor of terror in every sense of the word.”

Turkey accuses PressTV correspondent of spying
First Published on 18 Oct 2014
The Turkish government is preventing some journalists from reporting the developments in the border region. The Turkish intelligence agency has now accused our correspondent Serena Shim of spying.
Serena has been reporting from the Turkish border near Kobani. She said the accusations might be due to her coverage of Turkey’s stance on ISIL atrocities in Kobani and the recent protests in Turkey.
Find out what happened to Serena, Press TV director calls on Turkey
Press TV news director Hamid Reza Emadi says the “suspicious death,” of the news channel’s correspondent in Turkey is a tragedy for “anyone who wants to get the truth.”
Emadi made the remarks in an interview with Press TV on Sunday following Serena Shim’s death across the border from Syria’s Kurdish city of Kobani, where the ISIL terrorists and Kurdish fighters are engaged in heavy battles.“Serena told the stories,” Emadi said, referring to Turkey’s role in the crisis, including “how Ankara collaborated with those terrorists,” and “blocked Kurdish fighters from entering Kobani” to help tackle the ISIL.On Friday, Shim, an American citizen of Lebanese origin, told Press TV that the Turkish intelligence agency had accused her of spying probably due to some of the stories she had covered about Turkey’s stance on the ISIL terrorists in Kobani and its surroundings, adding that she feared being arrested.
Emadi called the “car accident” version of Shim’s death an “infantile argument” by Turkey. “We are not going to buy that,” he noted.
“We believe that the Turkish government has to be held accountable before the international community. It has to find out exactly what happened.”The news media director went on to say that Shim was an American national who died “under very suspicious circumstances” inside Turkey. “We are waiting to see whether the US government is reacting or asking Ankara for clarification.”
Shim will not return to her children in Lebanon just because she “criticized a certain country that is creating chaos in the region by supporting terrorists both inside Syria and Iraq,” Emadi said.
He further noted that “Press TV has every right to pursue the matter legally.”
In 2012, Press TV lost another correspondent, Maya Nasser, who was shot in the neck and the chest by a foreign-backed sniper in the Syrian capital Damascus.
Emadi slammed the “so-called” human rights organizations for refusing to condemn killing of journalists like Nasser. “Just because they reported the truth. They didn’t report what the US media wants them to report.”
Shim, a mother of two, covered reports for Press TV in Lebanon, Iraq, and Ukraine.
She was on a mission on the Turkish side of the border across the strategic town to cover the ongoing war there.
Her car collided with a heavy vehicle upon return from a report scene in Suruç, a rural district of Şanlıurfa Province of Turkey.
The identity and the whereabouts of the truck driver remain unknown.
Shim said she was among the few journalists who had obtained stories about Takfiri militants’ infiltration into Syria through the Turkish border, adding she had gained access to images showing militants crossing the border in trucks belonging to the World Food Organization and other NGOs.
Emadi decried news blackout on Press TV correspondents’ death “by those who control mass media” saying, “That’s how they’re sending a signal to independent journalists like Serena Shim.”NT/MAM/AS

Besides this point, since 1300AD they've been nothing but trouble and traitors to the Muslim world (never mind what they did to the Greeks and Armenians). They committed countless crimes in the name of Islam (just like the saudi terrorists) and how do you know it was an "accident"?

IF Turkey thinks by murdering the Press TV Journalist it can silence the voice of truth, it is dead wrong. The assassination of Serena Shim would only strengthen the truth and the PTV becomes even more dedicated to carry the title "the Voice of the Voiceless"and it becomes more popular.

Suggestion. In order to keep the memory of Press TV's correspondents who like Serena murdered, it would be right that Press TV announce the day that were murdered as their remembrance by rebroadcasting their works in an special program and exposing the criminals who have murdered them. This way, their murderers can never rest in peace but to the contrary.

Since the government of Turkey is famous for lyingabout many things, and has long been a puppet forThe U.S.A. and Israel, I highly suspect they areguilty of her demise. Just the fact that the TruckDriver is nowhere to be found, ... a Truck Driver,if he killed a Woman by accident would normallynot flee, as they are professional drivers. And Turkey is trying to cover up, that like TheU.S.A. they are pretending to be against The I.S.I.L.but really they support them. If I knew the guythat did this, I'd hunt him down personally.
