DIFFERENT STATEMENTS FROM SOYLU AND TAF

 

Regarding the perpetrator Ercan Bayat who carried out the Reyhanlı bombing of TAF in September 8, Minister of Interiror Süleyman Soylu said: "We captured him from Syria" and thanked the law enforcement units. Soylu who created a perception that a special operation was carried out to capture Ercan Bayat who caused 53 people lose their lives 7 years ago, could not stop speaking about his great achievement.

 

The information at the TAF web site regarding the so called operation is as follows: "An intel on an adult and 2 children will be crossing the border from Syria to Turkey illegally was obtained. All were captured and interrogated. The adult turned out to be the fugitive perpetrator of Seyhanlı explosion Ercan Bayat. He was surrendered to law enforcement units."
