Istanbul Chief Prosecutor's Office

Turkish prosecutors have summoned former chief of General Staff Gen. Ya?ar Büyükan?t to present his testimony in his capacity as a "suspect" as part of an investigation into the April 27, 2007, "e-memorandum" case.

Daily Cumhuriyet Editor-in-chief Can Dündar and the paper's Ankara representative, Erdem Gül, have been arrested because of stories they wrote. 

Here is a chronology to better understand the issue in our country where everything is extremely confusing: 

The co-leader of the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), Figen Yüksekda?, has filed a complained upon being attacked by security forces in the town of Silvan in the southeastern Anatolian province of Diyarbak?r when trying to visit the town while under curfew as a parliamentary delegation.

Lawyers of the victim have reacted against the authorities' decision to return the indictment involving suspected public servants in the January 2007 murder of prominent Turkish-Armenian journalistHrant Dink to the prosecutor in charge of the investigation. The return means that cases will likely not be opened against the suspects.

The son of President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, whose name was embroiled in Turkey's biggest graft probe in 2013, denied reports he fled to Italy in a televised interview on Oct. 22, saying he "didn't teleport" to private broadcaster A Haber's studios in Istanbul.   

Turkey needs to be as courageous as neighboring Iran concerning corruption allegations involving governmental officials, the country's main opposition leader said, recalling how Iran has charged Babak Zanjani, an Iranian businessman currently imprisoned in Iran on corruption charges who was connected to Turkey's massive 2013 graft case.

This week, as usual, lots of crazy things happened in Turkey. The most mind-boggling one for me, however, was an indictment prepared by the Istanbul Chief Prosecutor's Office against 18 journalists. They were accused of "making propaganda for a terrorist organization," with the prosecutor asking for up to 7.5 years in prison for each.
