On May 17, Alparsalan Arslan, member of Grey Wolves group, rushed into
the Ankara’s Supreme Court Council and opened fire on the officials
of the council’s third department.
This terrorist act aroused the indignation both in Turkey, and in USA,
in EU and other countries. On May 25, the Turkish Police arrested
Erhan Timurogli, one of the allies of Arslan, in Ankara. He admitted
the accusations brought by the court and was imprisoned.
Timurogli was accused of murder, of preserving and using explosive
materials, of attempt to seize the power by violence.
According to “Yeni Sharaf” newspaper, Timurogli stated in the court
that he is the old friend of Arslan and they were going to carry out
a number of terrorist acts in Istanbul, including the murder of the
Supreme Court’s Third Department’s Head, and murders of the Armenian
residents of Istanbul.
