NEWS CENTER – RojNews published a sound recording showing that Mehmet Zeki Çelebi, who was murdered as a result of an armed attack on May 17, was threatened by the MİT.
According to the news, Zeki Çelebi was excused from imposing spying some time before he was attacked.
In the audio recording, an MİT official is heard threatening Çelebi, saying, “If the state helps Zeki, we will also vanish whit his file.”
Çelebi, on the other hand, said, “You are either arresting people or killing them in line with the help you want from me. How conscientious is this situation?” he reacts.
The phone conversation between the MIT official and Mehmet Zeki Çelebi is as follows:
“MIT: Prior to this, I have conveyed to you the reasons and purposes of our call to you. You would appreciate that the government wants to learn something. When Şerif Bey came to us, we conveyed our purpose to him, and he showed his good intentions. We just want you to inform us. We can sit and talk somewhere. We ask for your help in this matter.
Zeki Çelebi: I have told you before, there is no information that I can share with you about anyone other than myself. I have had great difficulties for 20 years. After all these events, the state comes and asks me to give information about innocent people so that I can save myself. These are things that are far from my personality and identity. I am a patriotic Kurd and I am for the brotherhood of peoples. I said in your last call, I am far from the situation to give you information. Honestly, I can’t do what you want from me.
MIT: Why do you think you’ll just save yourself? This is not just about you. You have family and children. Think about your wife and children.
Zeki Çelebi: How possible is it to be free as a family? Think about how meaningful it can be to save a tree when a huge forest is burning.
MIT: We want you to write something for us for future projects. We want you to write a report.
Zeki Çelebi: You told me before that the corruption of my file was between your lips. If justice is stuck between a person’s lips, how true is it? That’s exactly what you said, right?
MIT: Yes, that’s exactly what I said.
Zeki Çelebi: If my file is between the lips of a person, there can be no law in that state.
MIT: The state says that if Zeki helps us, we will vanish out his file.
Zeki Çelebi: You either arrest people or kill them in line with the help you ask me for. How conscientious is this situation?”
