Where should the former chief of General Staff be judged?

Kerim Balcı

Whenever the self-marginalizing old-media elite start asking orchestrated, irrelevant questions about a criminal case, our country faces a new challenge, of a covert media operation against the judiciary or police.

This time it is about which court should judge the former chief of General Staff. The self-marginalizing old-media elite claim he should be judged in the Supreme State Council. These people intentionally deny their readers any information -- in fact, memory -- about why on earth the former chief of General Staff is being judged after all. The covert media operation to save the former chief of General Staff from the special court in which he is being judged for the time being has been so well-orchestrated that it surpassed even the voice of the retired general* who pled not guilty.
