Ertac Tinar: Turkey cleans its stomach


The owner of Hospro, the company through which Batman govenorship imported weapons said: "Some friends of mine said Turkey will clean its stomach. You'd better stay in France for a while."


       The owner of Hospro weapons company, Ertac Tinar, whose name was once
       more mentioned after Susurluk scandal declined to give any information about
       the weapons purchased by Batman Governorship, claiming it is a state secret.
       Declaring that he applied France for naturalisation Tinar said:
       "I have never worked with any institution other than the Interior Ministry.
       I didn't worked with Batman governorship as well, nobody called me, neither
       the governor nor his deputy. I'm not related to Susurluk or any other
       scandal. Person's can't import weapons, state does this job. Our function is
       to find the goods that the states seeks and make organisations. We don't see
       the transport of these goods as well."

       "I told the Prime Ministry Inspection board and National Intelligence
       Service all I know. I can't tell more, these are state secrets. I delivered
       the weapons to the Interior Ministry, this is what my role is. It is not
       possible for me to know what happened to them afterwards," he added.
