Journalist Uğur Mumcu, Ahmet Taner Kışlalı, Muammer Aksoy, and Bahriye Üçok's murders were discussed in the 11th hearing of the case today at the Ankara 5th High Criminal Court. Uğur Mumcu's wife Güldal Mumcu, daughter Özge Aybars Mumcu, lawyers Yalçın Akbal and Turgut Kazan, and friends attended the hearing. The defendant Oğuz Demir's lawyer did not attend the hearing, citing an excuse.

"MEHMET AĞAR SHOULD BE HEARD"

During the hearing, lawyer Turgut Kazan, who made the first defense, reiterated the request to hear Mehmet Ağar, who was the Chief of Police at the time of Uğur Mumcu's murder and later became the Minister of Justice. Kazan stated, "The assassination took place in 1993. An incredible series of murders occurred until the Susurluk accident in 1996. The main actor of this is Mehmet Ağar, who held various positions at that time. He is the 'hero' of that period. The investigation has been wrong from the very beginning. On January 26, 1993, a witness comes forward. The identification is made, but instead of January 26, January 23 is written, and this mistake is said to have been made 'inadvertently.' The 'glorious' prosecutor of that time, Ülkü Coşkun, initiates an investigation against the witness for committing the crime of slander against the Islamic Movement," he said.

"A WALL IS BEING BUILT AGAINST US"

Kazan recalled the following conversation between Güldal Mumcu and Mehmet Ağar:

Mehmet Ağar: Yes, Güldal, a wall is being built.

Güldal Mumcu: Then pull a brick so the wall can fall.

Mehmet Ağar: I can't pull it.

Güldal Mumcu: Pull the brick aside, step aside.

Mehmet Ağar: I can't do that either.

Güldal Mumcu: Maybe you can ensure a new team is formed for the investigation.

Mehmet Ağar: Sorry, Güldal, I can't do that."

"THE RELATIONSHIP WITH AĞAR IS VERY CLEAR"

Turgut Kazan then spoke:

"Mehmet Ağar knows. It is clear that Mehmet Ağar was at the forefront of everything in the Susurluk Report. The report states that they withdraw a check for 12 million 500 thousand dollars from the Central Bank, and it is written that it was delivered to Ağar. Following this, Ağar had to resign and was sentenced to prison for being the leader of an armed gang. In a letter from Süleyman Demirel to then-Prime Minister Tansu Çiller, it is written, 'There is a Special Operations Department in the General Directorate of Security. Some members of this department have been involved in incidents such as drug trafficking and murder. Some officials in the state also receive instructions from the head of this department. Mehmet Ağar is also aware of this.' In other words, the relationship with Mehmet Ağar is very clear. We have been facing attempts to save Oğuz Demir for years. We know that Oğuz Demir is in Turkey and that nothing has been done. Please make the decision to hear Mehmet Ağar."

"HE TOLD ME 'I CAN'T PULL THE BRICK'"

After Kazan, Güldal Mumcu spoke, stating that they requested an appointment from then-Minister of Justice Mehmet Ağar in 1996, and Ağar said, "I will come to your house," adding, "We met with my lawyer. He told me, 'I can't pull the brick.'"

"THE DEFENDANT STOPS HIS CAR AT A POLICE CHECKPOINT AND GETS OUT"

Following Güldal Mumcu, lawyer Yalçın Akbal stated, "In 2000, during the period when the organization was supposedly disbanded, the defendant Oğuz Demir stops his car at a police checkpoint in Sincan and gets out. This indicates that Oğuz Demir was informed in advance. The Deputy Minister of Interior had said that they thought Oğuz Demir was in Iran and had taken his family with him. However, the incoming records indicated that there were no official entries or exits. We want this investigation to thoroughly examine Oğuz Demir's relatives." he said.

MEHMET AĞAR WILL BE HEARD, DEMİR'S RELATIVES WILL BE INVESTIGATED

After the statements, the court panel decided to hear Mehmet Ağar at the next session. Additionally, the panel ruled that a letter should be sent to the General Directorate of Security for a detailed investigation of the relatives of the defendant Oğuz Demir. The next hearing will be held on May 12.
