Ergenekon Case in Turkey
Ergenekon Case in Turkey

Summary/Abstract: Turkey surely is in an important situation with the Ergenekon Case. This case, regarded as the most important in the history of the Turkish Republic, has long captivated the public attention with buried guns and grenades, links with the previous staggering assassinations, and plans for further assassinations. This is common for terrorist organizations. In order to overthrow the government or at least share the power sources, terrorists use such violent attacks. Terrorist organizations use symbolic, violent, and shocking attacks in order to prove their existence and voice their goals; they terrorize and suppress the society to attain their goals in the shortest way. The Ergenekon Trial indicates that the organization adopts this kind of method and –if proved- was planning to use these weapons for such purpose. Thus, most experts explain the custodies through the violence factor. Some attempted to criticize the trial process beforehand, as how such a group could overthrow the government without guns, or after the guns were found how it could happen with such small number of guns. We scrutinized the violence and the process of trial in another work; in this study I will focus on the blackmailing method of the organization through sex and how it uses blackmail to terrorize and suppress.
