    Erol ONDEROGLU [email protected] Istanbul - BIA News Center27 April
    2010, Tuesday Journalist Fuat Dogansoy said that the news about him
    published in the national Vakit newspaper stating that "he was caught
    with drugs in Finland" did not reflect the truth.

    Dogansoy assumes that he became a target because of his news for
    the Fırat News Agency (ANF) saying that games were being played on
    the Armenians and that there are secret deals between the Turkish
    Armed Forces (TSK) and the USA. He had furthermore reported about
    assassination attempts directed at leaders of the separatist Kurdistan
    Workers' Party (PKK) which is listed as a terror organization in
    many countries.

    Dogansoy: Neither police statement nor news in the papers Dogansoy
    called bianet in regard to the allegations recently published about
    him. He said that the Police in Finland did not make any statements
    related to the allegations and that nothing was published in the
    Finnish newspaper that was quoted as the source of the supposed
    information.

    Dogansoy had been subject to an assault on 15 March 2009 when he
    prepared a documentary entitled "2 July - Documentary of Death"
    about the Sivas Massacre. The Sivas massacre in central Anatolia
    was an attack against Alevi intellectuals and artists. 37 people
    lost their lives when the Madimak Hotel was set on fire on 2 July
    1993. Dogansoy recalled that despite the attack a trial was launched
    against him based on article 216 of the Turkish Criminal Court (TCK)
    on "inciting hatred and hostility amongst the public and humiliation
    of the public." The Governor of Sivas had made an announcement to
    diclaim Dogansoy's allegations of the assault.

    Subject of investigation into "Revolutionary Headquarters" Dogansoy
    furthermore said that an investigation was initiated into his alleged
    connections to the Revolutionary Headquarters organization.

    When asked if he responded to the investigation, Dogansoy replied,
    "Should I respond when people involved in the Revolutionary
    Headquarters case are kept in prison for ten months for nothing?" The
    journalist dismissed the claims that he had any connections to the
    Revolutionary Headquarters organization. (EO/VK)
