4. Turkish media’s deafening silence on arms-laden M?T trucks linger due to fear

Following the release of testimony from the arrested prosecutors who are accused of espionage and treason for ordering and being present for the stopping and searching of weapon-laden trucks in January 2014 last week, with few exceptions the Turkish media still turns a blind eye to the sensational information in the testimony due to fear and political pressure.

According to Arzu Y?ld?z, a reporter who specializes in legal issues and who released the prosecutors’ lengthy testimony on the online news portal Gri Hat, the media keeps quiet despite the fact that “the state was caught while committing a crime” during the shipment of arms to Syria by the controversial long vehicles known as “National Intelligence Organization (M?T) trucks.”
