Cosmic room search prepared FETÖ for July 15 coup bid

According to a new investigation, the coupist Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ) was discovered to have attempted to leave Turkey defenseless by revealing thousands of secret documents during the search at the “cosmic room”, the archive room where the military's top secret files have been held. FETÖ attempted to expose state secrets, such as the identity of 78 people responsible in all provinces to organize the public in case of any foreign intervention emergency.

The search was conducted in 2009 over a false tip-off saying Turkey's former Deputy Prime Minister Bülent Arınç would be assassinated.

As a part of the investigation that was initiated after the tip off, Ankara 11th High Criminal Court Judge Kadir Kayan conducted a days-long search at the 'cosmic room' and seized top secret information.

Years after the unlawful investigation, another investigation was opened aiming at revealing the role of the people who were involved in this unlawful process.

The fresh investigation revealed that the 'cosmic room' search was conducted to conquer Turkey's most intimate details of their missions and battle plans to make the country defenseless against any possible unlawful attempt against the territorial integrity of the country, the peaceful atmosphere and the democratically-elected government.

The coupist FETÖ organization was also discovered to have copied the memory of the Mobilization Inspection Board and seized all the hidden information between 1970 and 2009.

The terrorist organization was also understood as having shared all the top secret information with the United States officials.

Judge Kadir Kayan, suspected of having close ties with FETÖ, had conducted a search in the archive room from the date of December 27, 2009 to January 20, 2010, in a response to the General Staff's warning. The judge has not confiscated any file or taken any document out of the archive room during the search, which has also been attended by at least one military official.

The probe began in December 2009, after police received an anonymous call, saying that Deputy Prime Minister Bülent Arınç will be assassinated by some military officials.

As part of the investigation, the Special Forces Command's top-secret document archive has been searched for 25 days by police officers, believed to be close to Fetullah Gülen's terrorist organization.

On March 11, the Ankara chief public prosecutor's office decided not to prosecute in the proceeding case during which a number of military officials have been accused of plotting to murder the prominent politician.

The prosecutor's office stated that there is no 'concrete and convincing evidence' to move forward with a public case.

"Apart from the abstract evidences, no 'concrete and convincing evidence' has been gained to move forward with a public case. So, there is no need to prosecute 38 suspects," said the prosecutor's office in its statement.
