DEFENSE RIGHT IS VIOLATED
Statement of Zekeriya Oz, prosecutor of Ergenekon case, that some evidence regarding arrest of Nedim Sener and Ahmet Sik was not disclosed because of the privacy decision in the file led to discussions.

Prof. Hakan Hakeri said, "you should see all the evidences that are basis to the accusation. You can not make a defense against the evidences which you do not see."

French President Nicolas Sarkozy, a fierce opponent of Turkey's EU membership, tasted a bitter lesson when Turkey shut out France from competing in a Turkish satellite tender, a move that forced the French leader to cut short his visit to Ankara two weeks ago. Sarkozy's visit, as the chairman of the G20, was originally planned to last two days. Japanese firm Mitsubishi won the tender to manufacture two communications satellite for Turkey in a 571 million USD project.
