NINE PEOPLE ATTENDED WITH ÖZELThe Hürriyet columnist also mentioned, "There were 8 other people in the CHP delegation besides Chairman Özgür Özel. According to the information I obtained, MIT President İbrahim Kalın gently reminded that some information was sensitive and should not be leaked. Özgür Özel responded to this request with great courtesy. I learned that İbrahim Kalın left the MIT briefing at the CHP satisfied. Kalın thought that this meeting went very well. The written statement made by the CHP regarding the MIT briefing also pleased MIT. They found the approach in the statement positive."
