The Akıncı Air Base coup attempt indictment

The indictment on events at the Akıncı Air Base, which was used by coup-attempting soldiers as a headquarters on the night of last year's failed putsch, was recently released. From examining the indictment, we see repeated references of the term "superior mind," which is used by politicians to refer to "dark outside powers" aiming to target Turkey's government.

If, as daily Cumhuriyet reported on April 1, the indictment was first taken to the justice minister and the parts over the "political leg" of the coup has been retouched... 

If everything that happened at the National Intelligence Agency (MİT) and the General Staff headquarters is not fully enlightened...

If the MİT chief really did ask the security chief of President Erdoğan whether he was "in a position that is able to protect there" and the security forces did not tell the president this... 

If it is not convincingly revealed how Adil Öksüz, one of the suspected leaders of the plot, was set free... 
Then history will not remember the coup attempt as the work of a "superior mind." 

What all is said and done, this was a serious coup attempt, which targeted the lives of our president and his family. 

If you dilute the issue with rumors about the "superior mind," or investigate the coup attempt with low-quality indictment writing techniques - resembling the Feb. 28 1997 "post-modern coup" cases or the Ergenekon case - you may be able to fool people today and secure tomorrow for yourself. But you will not be able to save the future. 

I have some advice to younger readers: Save this indictment somewhere and compare it with this article in the future.
