Endless vigil from 1992 to July 15: Martyr’s children made history in the capital
The Republic of Türkiye was subjected to one of the bloodiest treason attempts in its history on July 15, 2016. However, that night, not only a coup attempt was suppressed; At the same time, it has been proven to the whole world that love of the country is a legacy that lasts for generations. One of the most concrete examples of this legacy was the sons of Special Operations Director Ali Er, who was martyred in Hakkari on July 14, 1992. Martyr Special Operations Branch Manager Ali Er was Türkiye’s first martyr Special Operations Police Chief and one of the founders of the organization. Ali Er, who was Süleyman Demirel’s close guard for 9 years, was martyred in the treacherous ambush set up by terrorists on July 14, 1992, at the Başkale Güzeldere pass on the Van-Hakkari highway. After their father’s martyrdom, all three of his sons chose police as a profession. Years after their father’s martyrdom, Ali Er’s two sons, Eraslan and Volkan Er, who are the Chief of Police, were in the square on the night of July 15, on different fronts but for the same purpose. While Volkan Er, who was on the staff of Ankara Police Department, became a veteran of the conflict with the coup plotters in the Ankara Police Department campus that night, Eraslan Er, who was the Special Operations Branch Manager of Ankara Police Department at that time, was at the head of the team that dispersed the focus of betrayal in Beştepe.
THE CENTER OF BETRAYAL IN BEŞTEPE: GENERAL COMMAND OF THE GENDARMERIE
One of the most critical targets of the coup attempt was the Gendarmerie General Command headquarters in Beştepe. Former colonel Erkan Öktem and the coup plotters with him occupied the headquarters and took the senior officers of the period hostage. That night, Turgut Aslan, then TEM Department Head, was detained by the traitors along with his bodyguards.
“HE WAS A MARTYR, BUT HE LEAVED BRAVE CHILDREN TO THE COUNTRY”
During the operation launched by the Special Operations teams to take back the headquarters, Eraslan Er, then Ankara Special Operations Branch Director, managed to enter the building with his team at the first light of the morning. Search and rescue teams found Turgut Aslan and his bodyguard Hasan Gülhan, shot in the head, in the outbuilding of the building. Turgut Aslan, whose bodyguard was martyred, was still alive. Eraslan Er cleaned the blood on Aslan’s face, checked his pulse, and rushed him to the ambulance accompanied by shields. The most striking aspect of this rescue operation was expressed by Turgut Aslan himself years later: Eraslan Er, the head of the team that saved Aslan, was the son of Aslan’s comrade-in-arms Ali Er, who was martyred in 1992. In his post on the death anniversary of martyr Ali Er, Turgut Aslan said, “Today is the martyrdom anniversary of my friend, Special Operations Director, Ali Er, who was martyred in Hakkari in 1992. By God’s will, his son, Special Operations Director Eraslan Er, was at the head of the team that found and saved me on July 16, 2016. Another son, Volkan Er, became a veteran on July 15. He was martyred, but this is the case for the country.” “He left brave sons,” he said.
“YOU CAN’T CARRY THAT GLORIOUS UNIFORM!”
Later in the operation, when the coup plotters began to surrender, an unforgettable image occurred. Eraslan Er, head of the Police Special Operations, and Gendarmerie Special Operations Teams under the control of Gendarmerie Brigadier General Ahmet Hacıoğlu, who fought against the coup plotters, stripped the clothes of the traitors who used the glorious uniform of the Turkish army for the purposes of the terrorist organization. The coup plotters were stripped of their uniforms in the headquarters garden and made to kneel before the justice of the Turkish nation.
RADIO RECORDINGS: “FREE FIRE TO CITIZENS”
Wireless recordings included in the case files once again revealed the ruthlessness of the traitors. It was determined that Erkan Öktem, who managed the headquarters, gave instructions to the helicopter pilots and the coup plotters inside, such as “shoot the police vehicles”, “do not approach civilians”, “they are the target, shooting is free”. The order to target the police and citizens especially around the Hisarcıklıoğlu Mosque showed the extent of treason. After the headquarters was surrounded by the police, Öktem requested air attack support from the coup plotters in the Land Aviation Command and asked the helicopter pilot to destroy especially the armored police vehicles.
İŞTEO BETRAYAL CONVERSATIONS
Helicopter pilot: There is a small mosque among the tall buildings, it is called Hisarcıklıoğlu Mosque. There’s a police car here, west of the building, right below us.
Öktem: Whether he gets shot or not, he is the one who causes the most trouble.
Öktem: That is Hisarcıklıoğlu Mosque, all police vehicles around it should be shot.
Öktem: Cobra, gendarmerie.
Helicopter pilot: I’m listening.
Öktem: There are constructions around the mosque, they (police) are hiding there. Armored vehicles should be shot, please.
Helicopter pilot: Cobra, gendarmerie.
Helicopter pilot: Agreed.
Öktem: Understood, understood. There is a police armored car in the underpass. If you can see it, shoot it.
Helicopter pilot: The armored vehicle is right below us. Look, there are armored vehicles next to the mosque.
Öktem: The armored men next to the mosque should be shot.
JUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE, PROPAGANDA HAS COLLAPSED
Over the years, the judicial process was completed and 86 defendants, including Erkan Öktem, were sentenced to aggravated life imprisonment for “attempting to overthrow the constitutional order”. Even though FETO’s media imams, who escaped when the coup failed, engaged in black propaganda activities targeting Eraslan Er and other heroes on social media, the facts remained clear as day. The images of Turgut Aslan being led to execution with his hands tied also refuted the organization’s lies that “we did not do it”. On the 10th anniversary of July 15, Turkey once again declares its commitment to democracy to the whole world, thanks to the children who carry the legacy of martyrs like Ali Er on their shoulders and the veterans who stand tall like Turgut Aslan.

My Lord saved you for July 15th
The teacher and poet brother of police officer Hurşit Uzel, who was martyred in the bomb attack on Gölbaşı Special Operations Department, broke hearts with the letter he wrote on the 10th anniversary of his brother’s martyrdom. Hüseyin Uzel, the teacher and poet brother of police officer Hurşit Uzel, who was martyred for the sake of the country in the Gölbaşı Special Operations Department, which was bombed in the treacherous coup attempt of FETO, explained both the indescribable pain his family experienced and the traces left behind by a hero in the letter he wrote for his brother. Stating that his brother’s friends, who were transferred from Batman to Konya, were martyred in a terrorist attack 3 days later, Hüseyin Uzel said in his letter, “You said you missed the martyrdom by three days. No, brother… My Lord was saving you for another day. The fateful night of the country. That night when tanks took to the streets and war planes bombed his own nation. In other words, he was saving it for July 15.”
‘YOU ARE IN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE’
In the letter, Hüseyin Uzel stated that Hurşit Uzel said, “Don’t cry, mother. Martyrdom is not a position to be sad about. If I were given martyrdom today, I would accept it without hesitation” after his mother cried over the news of a martyr he watched on television. “We were able to contact in the first hours of the night of July 15. However, we did not receive any news afterwards. The phones were unanswered. ‘My beautiful brother, where are you?’ I texted. There was no answer. It came into me. I said, ‘You are in the most beautiful place.’ “Then, with the sad news, we learned that my brother was martyred,” he said.

Gradual punishment comes to those under 18 years of age
The AK Party is taking an important step to prevent murders such as Ahmet Minguzzi and Atlas Çağlayan, which caused great outrage in the public, and to avoid creating a “perception of impunity” in society. The regulation that changes the punishment and execution system for children who commit crimes is expected to be presented to the Speaker of the Parliament today. AK Party Group Deputy Chairman Leyla Şahin Usta will hold a press conference today. The Master will give information about the proposal they will submit to the Speaker of the Parliament, which includes regulations regarding juvenile criminals under the age of 18.
DIGITAL TRACKING SYSTEM
Within the scope of the proposal, it is planned to introduce a gradual punishment and execution system according to crimes committed under the age of 18 in order to prevent children from being used by gangs and dragged into crime. The proposal envisages that children who commit crimes will be taken to juvenile education homes, not directly but after serving a certain amount of punishment. It is also emphasized that, as in England, a “digital tracking system” will be introduced for children who are released from prison or who have received unpaid sentences, and that they will prevent them from committing crimes in the digital environment. The suggestions here were also used while preparing the proposal.

Notmatix, the first artificial intelligence-supported university application
With the launch held at İBN Haldun University, the first corporate university application of Notmatix, the first artificial intelligence-supported measurement and evaluation platform developed in Türkiye, was introduced. Necmeddin Bilal Erdoğan, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Ibn Haldun University, attended the event held in Başakşehir, Istanbul, and made evaluations about the global effects of artificial intelligence and its future in education.
Erdoğan stated that the human and moral dimension of technology should be questioned and said, “We need to benefit from the blessings of artificial intelligence. However, is this technology developed to solve certain problems of humanity or just to benefit someone? The important thing is whether artificial intelligence will serve justice and peace.”
Erdoğan said, “Those who catch the breakthrough created by artificial intelligence will be able to close the gap quickly. This is valid for Türkiye, companies and all educational institutions.” Stating that the Notmatix project will make things easier in education and strengthen individual tracking, Bilal Erdoğan stated that he believes that the platform will make a great contribution to academic studies.

2.5 million Euros collected for the earthquake were lost
Turkish folk music artist Handan Aydın claimed that the fate of 2.5 million Euros of the 5 million Euros collected by the German Alevi Unions Federation for the earthquake is uncertain. Aydın argued that the name of Bağcılar Cemevi director Zeynel Abidin Koç was also mentioned in his allegations based on audit reports.
“NO 2.5 MILLION EUROS”
You have made some controversial claims about earthquake aid. On what basis do you say these?
I am saying that half of the 5 million Euros collected by the German Alevi Unions Federation for the earthquake is not available. Inspection reports state that only 60 containers and 150 thousand school bags were purchased with this money. The fate of the remaining 2.5 million Euros cannot be explained. Reports state that 900 thousand Euros of this money appears to be linked to Zeynel Abidin Koç, who is under the management of Bağcılar Cemevi. These are not my claims, they are the issues reflected in the audit reports.

“IT IS BEING USED”
You also have criticisms about Alevi associations…
I am Alevi, but I have never engaged in politics based on my Alevi identity. Some circles use Alevism for political gain. I think that some Alevi organizations, especially in Germany, are trying to portray Alevism as separate from Islam. I do not think it is right that Cemevis should be turned into areas where politics takes place.
CEMEVI SHOULD NOT BE TURNED INTO A TAvern
What you said about Cemevis has been talked about a lot. Why did you make such a move?
About 2 years ago, I saw that alcohol tables were set up at noon in a cemevi in Çorum. I’m so sorry about this. I do not find it appropriate to use places considered as places of worship in this way. I am against Cemevis being used for both politics and other purposes.
IMAMOĞLU DAMAGED THE ALEVI SOCIETY
I have never voted. I think İmamoğlu is doing populist politics. I have experienced that people close to him are supported in CHP municipalities, and this is clearly seen in concert organizations. In my opinion, it harmed both the CHP and the Alevi community.

FETO’s treacherous plans were prevented by the power of the people
On the anniversary of the treacherous coup attempt of July 15, which was recorded as the biggest breaking point in Türkiye’s recent history, important witnesses of July 15 came together at the Institute Social building in Üsküdar. Former Minister of Treasury and Finance Berat Albayrak, in his speech here, said, “That dark night is an unprecedented epic in which not only state institutions but also millions of citizens stood in front of the tanks with their bare hands, with the help of God and with the feeling of tranquility descending from the sky, against an organized coup d’etat planned months or years in advance.”
Explaining his experiences during the flight, Albayrak said: “Since our phones were tapped, we made surprise moves through Bodrum, Aydın, Izmir and Dalaman alternatives so that we could not guess where we were going; as a matter of fact, when we landed in Dalaman at the last minute and boarded the plane, the pilots, one of whom we later learned was a FETO member, tried to direct us there, even though we knew that Sabiha Gökçen was in trouble.

For Atatürk Airport, despite all the protests and efforts to prevent them saying, “They might have pulled a truck onto the runway, we might crash,” we landed safely at the airport with the assurance we received from the Police, “The operation is complete, we have solid backs.” Stating that they were planning a terrorist operation against ISIS in his office on Vatan Street when the coup attempt started, Istanbul Police Chief Mustafa Çalışkan of the time said that he gave a reflexive order upon the news that the soldier was trying to seize the police’s gun and they did not give way to the traitors.

CITIZENS SUPPORTED THE NATIONAL WILL
The then Minister of Justice, Bekir Bozdağ, said about what happened that day: “On the night of July 15, our people carried out a resistance unprecedented in history by standing against tanks and planes with their bare hands; and we, as members of parliament, stood up for the national will by keeping the doors of the Parliament open that night, with the determination that “you cannot enter here without trampling our corpses.”
