Adem Yavuz Arslan, Bugün
Talks on the proposed National Intelligence Organization (MİT) law started in Parliament.
The bill will likely be adopted and ratified by the president within the next few days. As anyone can easily understand, the law is turning Turkey into a country ruled by the intelligence agency. It grants unlimited authority to MİT, but more importantly, the law is expanding the agency's existing legal immunities. With the law, a legal framework is being created for the operations that will be launched against the Hizmet movement. MİT will have the power to monitor, arrest and question whomever it pleases. And once the law passes, the terrorist Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK), the trucks [that allegedly carried weapons to groups in Syria], the illegal wiretapping of Fethullah Gülen, the Uludere attack, the Reza Zarrab case and similar cases will no longer be subject to judicial review. In a way, MİT will have a clean slate. It will become the one and only boss.
