“I am not the person who has planned and leaded the military coup attempt on July 15. I don’t know who has planned and leaded the this military coup. On the day of the incident the daughter of a friend had a wedding and I was supposed to attend it. But I couldn’t go to İstanbul. I couldn’t go there because of some work I had in the notary. I can prove that I had some works done in the notary. My works were finished at around 11.30 in İzmir. Than I arrived at Ankara on a military helicopter together with the Commander of Land Forces. I directly went to Akıncı Base to see my grandchildren. I have spent time in the housings in Akıncı Base till evening”.
