The suicide attack in the southeastern town of Suruç on July 20 and the shooting of a soldier in the southern province of Kilis on Thursday, both of which were supposedly carried out by militants of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), were in fact plots designed by Turkish officials, a government whistleblower has said. Report by ZAMAN

Fuat Avni, a Twitter figure who regularly reveals inside information on allegedly secret meetings of high-ranking government officials, claimed on his account on Sunday evening that a secret meeting was held by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the presidential palace on Thursday.

Avni claims National Intelligence Organization (MİT) head Hakan Fidan, Foreign Ministry Undersecretary Feridun Sinirlioğlu and former Interior Minister Efkan Ala were present at the meeting.

The whistleblower said word had broken out a short while before the meeting began that a soldier had been killed in Kilis.

“What coincidence that those who said they’d send four people to Syria and fire eight rockets at Turkey to start a war were also at the meeting,” Fuat Avni said, referring to Fidan, adding, “Instead of eight rockets there were 10 ISIL militants.”

In March 2014, a conversation in which the voices of then-Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, Sinirlioğlu, Fidan and Deputy Chief of General Staff Gen. Yaşar Güler are heard discussing whether Turkey should conduct a military incursion into Syria was leaked online.

In the audio tape Fidan is allegedly heard saying: “If needed, I will dispatch four men to Syria. [Then] I will have them fire eight mortar shells at the Turkish side and create an excuse for war. We can also have them attack the tomb of Süleyman Şah as well.”

Fuat Avni claims Erdoğan and his advisors decided to conduct air strikes against ISIL targets without even informing acting Prime Minister Davutoğlu. According to Fuat Avni, the army is playing into Erdoğan’s plans without being aware.

“For ISIL to strike Turkey, when Yezid [Erdoğan] and his gang are their biggest supporters, is nonsensical. Both Suruç and Kilis were Yezid’s decision, not ISIL’s,” wrote Fuat Avni, who added Erdoğan is trying to provoke ISIL into reacting to the assaults.

The whistleblower refrains from directly using Erdoğan’s name. Instead he uses the reference “Yezid,” the Umayyad Caliph, who according to Islamic historical belief allowed his opponent, the grandson of Prophet Mohammed, to die of thirst in the battle of Kerbela. Due to his crime against the family of the Prophet, the name Yezid is commonly reviled in all sects of Islam and used to belittle and vilify the opponent.

Fuat Avni says Erdoğan aims to create an environment of chaos during which MİT agents within ISIL will provoke the group and a conflict will ensue between ISIL militants and Turkish law enforcement personnel.

He also claims Fidan has activated MİT agents within the Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK) to start uprisings like those that began in October 2014 in the predominantly Kurdish Southeast.

Violence erupted on Oct. 6 and 7 in Kurdish southeastern regions following reports that ISIL was close to capturing the town of Kobani, which was being defended by the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), a Syrian-based affiliate of the outlawed PKK.

Protesters, who were angry at the government for not intervening to save the town despite a heavy military presence at the border, took to the streets nationwide. More than 40 people died during the protests, mainly in the Southeast, while hundreds of people — including 140 members of the security forces — were injured.

Whistleblower: Avni claims Erdoğan lined pockets through arms to ISIL, smuggled oil & Libyan wealth

May 4, 2015 By administrator

209080_newsdetailInfamous government whistleblower Fuat Avni in a tweet on Sunday claimed that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan amassed his wealth from arms trafficking to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) that was funded by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Avni said Erdoğan used National İntelligence Organization (MİT) head Hakan Fidan and his advisor Mücahit Aslan to control the money transfers that went into purchasing arms for ISIL from Serbia and Libya. These weapons were later shipped to ISIL in trucks through Turkish territory. Avni said Erdoğan took commissions from these money transfers, which both Fidan and Aslan are aware of.

The whistleblower said foreign countries including the United States, Germany and Iran are aware of the money transfers and arms trafficking. He also said Erdoğan is risking not only his and his family’s future but also that of Turkey’s.

He revealed that proceeds from the oil smuggling network run by ISIL in Syria also partially went to Erdoğan.

Avni further claimed that Erdoğan has taken over some of the wealth of former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi through his surviving daughter.

Columnist Uslu denies he is whistleblower Fuat Avni, says claim is attempt to cover up gov’t failure

US-based Turkish journalist Emre Uslu has categorically denied claims made by pro-government newspapers suggesting that he is responsible for a Twitter account that reveals inside information about the Turkish government, saying those making such claims know that they are false and are merely trying to cover up the government’s failure to find the real party behind the account.

On Monday the Sabah, Star and Güneş dailies, known to have close ties with the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) government, ran a story on their front pages headlined “Here is Fuat Avni” above a photo of Uslu. Fuat Avni is the name on the whistleblower Twitter account, which discloses plans for government operations as well as other information about the inner workings of the government. The dailies alleged that Uslu gathers and reports intelligence gleaned from police officers and others in exchange for money and promises of promotions. They also published conversations that allegedly took place using Twitter’s direct messaging service between Fuat Avni and police officers.

In a statement on his website, e.uslu.com, the Today’s Zaman and Taraf columnist said he knows that direct messages on Twitter are monitored in Turkey and added that he has even mentioned this fact to his followers when he contacts them via direct message.

He also referenced earlier reports in pro-government dailies claiming that he was managing the Fuat Avni account and indicated that he is suing those dailies.

Uslu underlined that he is sure that those making these claims also know very well that he is not behind the Fuat Avni account. Uslu assessed the reports as being a reflection of the government’s anger with him.

The journalist suggested that his coverage of the failures of former National Intelligence Organization (MİT) head Hakan Fidan — who recently resigned to run for Parliament — may have enflamed government anger with him. He added that government circles are trying to defame him because of what they claim are efforts to prevent Fidan from becoming the next prime minister in his writing.

The second possibility for the allegations, Uslu said, is to prevent criticism from being aimed at Fidan for failing to find the real person behind the account — especially since general elections are slated to be held on June 7 and Fidan is planning to run for Parliament on the ruling party ticket.

“I think the most reasonable scenario is this: The undersecretary of MİT not finding out who Fuat Avni is remains a big failure in his career. [So] they ‘found’ a Fuat Avni so that the he would not enter politics as an undersecretary who failed to reveal him,” Uslu said, adding that Fidan will probably start making TV appearances to talk about how he “found” the person managing the account.

Sabah said in its Monday report that police officers told Uslu on Feb. 12, 2014 that they were preparing to launch an operation against the Zaman daily, apparently suggesting that Uslu then transmitted that information via the Avni Twitter account. However, Fuat Avni made no mention of such an operation at that time and no such operation took place, calling the report’s suppositions into question. Some 10 months later, in mid-December, Avni did announce that an operation would take place targeting Zaman. Police conducted an operation and detained the Zaman daily’s editor-on-chief, as well as others, on Dec. 14, 2014.

Turkey: Whistleblower Fuat Avni reveals new plot by Erdoğan against opponents

January 2, 2015 By administrator

201046_newsdetailA government whistleblower who writes under the pseudonym Fuat Avni and who claims to be in the inner circle of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has revealed that a secret group has been formed to frame opponents and critics of the government as part of an intimidation campaign by Erdoğan’s regime. Report Today Zaman

The whistleblower, who has exposed many government plans in advance over his Twitter account and whose revelations have generally proven true, claimed on Sunday that a group called the Cosmic Study Group (KÇG) has set up a secretive operation center to plot new conspiracies under special instructions from Erdoğan.

Fuat Avni disclosed the new venue as a building in Akay, in Ankara’s Çankaya district. The building was used by the Anti-Smuggling and Organized Crime Bureau of the National Police Department. The whistleblower wrote that the secretive group was illegally formed by confidantes to prevent information from being leaked to the public, and added that he knows all of the group’s members by name and that he will disclose their identities “when the time comes.”

Fuat Avni said the group includes one deputy chief prosecutor, four prosecutors and staff from the National Police Department’s Anti-Smuggling and Organized Crime, Counterterrorism and Financial Crime Bureaus. The group has been compartmentalized into bureaus, and each bureau has one coordinator to manage the activities.

He said the KÇG has already started plotting new operations to frame critics of the government in order to please Erdoğan by engineering scenarios with fabricated evidence. The whistleblower said he knows all the government’s secret plans, warning that those who plot against unsuspecting citizens will be held accountable in the court of law when the time comes.

The whistleblower knew beforehand of a massive crackdown on media professionals that took place on Dec. 14. Many believe the revelations forced the government to limit the number of journalists they had been planning to detain.

The claim of mass detentions of some 400 people, including 150 journalists, was first raised by Avni, who later said the number was scaled down after his Twitter leaks.

Avni also claimed that Erdoğan wants Zaman Editor-in-Chief Ekrem Dumanlı to be arrested, and that the KÇG has cooked up a plot to make that happen. He asserted that the detention of Dumanlı would be possible following a letter from Trabzon in which a man with a criminal record would say that Dumanlı asked him to plant bombs and ammunition. Avni said the man, Melih Gürler, has seen the inside of many prisons in the country and that he had been charged with robbery, extortion, sexual assault and false testimony in the past. Gürler is being used by the National Intelligence Organization (MİT), Avni asserted.

Many suspected Avni’s revelation of the plot against Dumanlı prevented the secretive group from moving ahead with its plans, as the judge looking into Dumanlı’s case refused to arrest the journalists, citing a lack of new evidence.
