From left to right: Sinan Ateş and Hasan Ferit Gedik
Today, there are lies commonly heard from people who travel with bodyguards, have gun licenses, or drive around in vehicles with flashing lights, despite not holding any active or prominent government positions.
“FETO, PKK and DHKP-C are threatening me. I’ve reached my limit…”
Apart from the fact that these people have no importance whatsoever to the organization in question, there is other evidence of this funny big lie.
For example, they are not under any threat…you can find out by looking…
But this is Turkiye, the keyword always works.

The significance of the Sinan Ateş murder, which we began to hear about in Sincan this week, goes beyond the murder of former President Ulukh Oçaklal in central Ankara and the mobilization of politics and bureaucracy to cover up the murder.
This case demonstrated in its first hearing that the state has the ability to strip people naked at key points and make their crimes visible.
how?
* * *
In 2013, 21-year-old Hasan Ferit Gedik was murdered by a fascist gang in Gülsü, Istanbul, while marching against the drug trade in his neighborhood.
In the case of the murder of Sinan Ateş, Dougan Çep, who recklessly threatened journalists, always spoke out left and right, and easily lied because he knew very well what would happen to him, was also one of the perpetrators of this murder. This is the source of his sense of security, being able to blow kisses to journalists…
Following this murder he, along with the other two defendants, was given a sentence of 35 years and four months…
During the hearing for the murder of Sinan Ateş, he explained his legal situation by saying, “I was a fugitive, but I had said Bismillah and gone on holiday.”
So how did he get out? How did he become a fugitive?
Thanks to the pandemic…
Anyone who shouted slogans was considered a terrorist criminal and would not be released at the same time, but Djukan Chep and others like him were easily released.
Doesn’t the state have an obligation to explain why murderers are so easily released? The only justification is to expand prisons and arrest more students, more leftists, more workers?
Is this your criminal justice system?
Is this the social order you have created?
Is that seat that important to you?
* * *
But why have such names remained hidden for so long?
You can find it in his words…
Sinan Ateş said at the hearing:
“We have to go back to 2013. During the Gezi incident in Istanbul Gülsü in 2013, we shot the girls in red scarves, Ayşe Deniz Karacagir, Sinan Sağları and Sebrail Günebakan. They are members of the terrorist organization MLKP. Finally, we entered the ESP association and shot 10 people. Then ESP Figen Yüksekdağ was the head of the organization, and its co-chairman Selahattin Demirtaş was a socialist from all over. We were young men, marching against drugs, and we were arrested and started to be tried. Gezi, and the photo of Ayşe Deniz Karacagir follows Gezi to Qandil, yes, Karaylan loves girls, and Ayşe Deniz goes to Raqqa and dies there. Goes to Kobani. ” They unfurled a banner at the Amara Cultural Center saying they would deliver gifts to children, but ISIS is killing children there. So my case was dismissed. The CHP deputies like my case.”
* * *
In reality, of course, he means this: “We shot terrorists in this country, brothers …”
Looking at Chep’s explanation, the following picture emerges:
A war broke out in Istanbul, state soldiers and police were defeated, prosecutors and judges disappeared, it was up to them to defend the Motherland … For some reason, they started with young people opposed to the drug cartels of Gülsü. They did what was necessary. Killing terrorists is a good deed!
The murder of a 21-year-old could be deemed justified if the coffin bore the organization’s flag. We should applaud and pray…
* * *
Chep brags about who he shot in one go.
Of course he will say that it’s not easy to commit murder, to shoot so many people and then be released after four or five years.
But it is possible to see how he managed to do this long before the Sinan Ateş trial.
If you look at the Hasan Ferit Gedik files, you can see this very clearly. Don’t be lazy and do a little research. You will see how the same gangs built relationships with the police before and after 2013, how they solved problems, what doors were opened by saying “I’m an idealist.”
* * *
During the trial of the Hasan Ferit Gedik case, the defendants, who were on trial along with their friend Dougan Cep, sent letters to President Erdogan from prison. Written during the Afrin operation, the letter began with Bismillah and continued:
“We want you to know that there are soldiers in prisons, not white, but not black, hungry for the sherbet of martyrdom, ready to fight in Afrin and in dens of traitors waiting for your orders. We look forward to your orders.”
* * *
That’s it, it’s actually very simple.
All it takes is a few crowds, a few “we will die for this country” statements, a little heroism, a little intimidation, and then you have to get help from the state, ask for people’s addresses, beat them, shoot them, scare them, and you’ll have a lot of people who will back you up.
* * *
Gedik’s body could not be buried for three days due to obstacles.
The clothes he was wearing when he was shot were lost.
Portions of the camera recording of the incident have been deleted.
It turned out that the gang members had already been wiretapped, their connections to the police were known beforehand, and no precautions were taken against them.
Despite such serious crimes, names like Doukan Chep were released.

The murder of Sinan Ateş is shocking in that someone of the stature of President Ulukh Ocaklal, who was considered “untouchable” in the eyes of the state, was murdered by people who claim to be from this ideology. The murder is interesting in that it has political relevance and extraordinary efforts were made to prevent it from coming to light.
But what’s most impressive is how this state shows who it cares for.
Does this nation belong to people of a single ideology?
Is this country theirs?
Write it into the Constitution, enshrine it in law and we will know… Of course, we know the answer, but it is our right to demand a declaration of what is known…
* * *
Based on Dokkan Çep’s defense, one cannot help but believe that he paid Sinan Ateş 200,000 lira twice to have the penalty he received from Hasan Ferit Gedik’s file lifted, but after no progress was made and Ateş did not respond to his call, he decided to shoot himself in the foot.
Of course it is possible.
While there is no precedent for this being done to someone who was president of Idealist Hearths, it is possible.
But in the future, we need to believe this.
At the same time, someone from Ürükü Öcaklar got help from the police in finding Sinan ATES’s address…
Their only concern is to hang a banner in front of Sinan Ateş’s house…
For some reason, the gunman was taken to Ankara by two police officers only to be shot in the leg…
The perpetrator was kidnapped in a light vehicle with flashing lights…
This whole affair is FETO organized…
But on the other hand, we also believe that Ateş was actually killed by his friends who were with him during the incident…
We need to believe them all at the same time.
* * *
But this photo tells us something else.
Statement apparently made by Atesh’s relatives…
“If people can do this for us, why can’t they do it for you?”
It’s unbelievable that they didn’t do it and still think they’re so right…
We don’t have to look far to look at prisons, where capacity is growing year after year.
Who will be put in prison and who will be released?
Who is arrested and who is untouchable?
As you can see…
Those who want to see, see, the rest are crowded.
The rest is made up of the masses of people who turn a blind eye to injustice and injustice in order to avoid leaving their comfortable living spaces…
Let them be happy and don’t lose your joy.
But they should know that the shameless kiss sent by a murder suspect from the docks is the result of the country they created…
