A letter from prison sent a Turkish petty officer to a columnist of the newspaper sozcu Turkey where it describes …
dramatically words how and why he was found in F-type prisons in Adana.
“Dear Emin Τσιόλασιαν, thank you very much that you are one of the μετÏημÎνους journalists listening to the voice of the victims. From 18 July 2016, and until now, I’m a prisoner in the prisons of a type of “F” of Adana.
To me they allege that the offence that on July 15, the night of the coup, do aerial refueling in the afi F-16. At first glance, you could think what is the wrong that was done to arrest me, but if you want to know how to set up the plot, please read this letter to me.
I was stationed at the air base of the ΙντζιÏλίκ, as Υπαξκός – operator for air supply of fuel preparation for war…
The days that we didn’t go for a flight (the αφος), and given the fact that within an hour it should be ready for take-off, so to speak, we lived a life of a prisoner in the military lodges.
And on July 15, again in the same situation we were in readiness in the military lodges, and in the context of the business of the fight with terrorism, I was called in 2102 for flight. Hurriedly I went to the base. The Commander of the Base, and the Commander of the flying tanker, gave the order to the pilots: “Go over by Afyon, to the aircraft that will come, will make a supply,” and we go for a flight. When we came over from Afyon, from the air operations centre, the order came used to say: “there is No scheduled task, return to base”.
The Commander of the aircraft has complied with the order and came over from Adana got in touch with the base, in order to explain the situation. The announced that it will reduce the fuel and they will make a landing.
However, base personnel, has sent us the order of the Î”ÎºÏ„Î¿Ï of the base, which was: “don’t make a landing, to continue the task”.
As an airline group, we didn’t know what was going on on the ground. As soldiers, we were obliged to carry out the order on our shoulders. Inside the pitch-black darkness, to a height of eight kilometers from the ground, flying 700 miles an hour and not have any other hands except the order of the Î”ÎºÏ„Î¿Ï you, you could do?
The tanker is a αφος, which I don’t have any kind of ammo.
The unique task is the supply of the air with fuel.
From us-receive fuel for the pilots of the F-16, but we don’t know what kind of tasks they perform, or who conduct business or who are pilots, or what kind of business and with what purpose, we as αφος tanker, we don’t have a chance to update”.
Mr Τσιόλασιαν concludes the επισοτλή to the Turkish reporter:
these traitors, using the hierarchy Δκσεως and saying “your country is burning, please help”, they set a trap in many patriotic Officers. The result what was it? These patriotic Officers, to stay out of range.
For the training of flying personnel, required millions of dollars. To you I leave them be held accountable. These selected people (pilots and crew) by staying out of range, our army is losing blood. And, of course, the targets were not them.
Please, this is the trap that was set up on the basis of the logistics of the Air Force, don’t pass the check.
In addition to the damage caused next to the trap, was destroyed and the life of my own. To be a good home.
Today I’m on trial for constitutional crimes. I come from a poor family, then I married and what purpose could I have, apart from the creation of the family?
The attempt of the treasonous coup, with the guns in their hands stared at me with empty eyes around the soldiers, who were not in a position to explain to us that there was no difference between us.
