THIS FRIEND HAS COME TO THE FOREFRONT TOO MUCH
First chamber of Supreme Board of Judges & Prosecutors (HSYK) changed place of duty of 128 judges and prosecutors yesterday. Zekeriya Oz, Fikret Secen and Ercan Safak, the three prosecutors of the Ergenekon investigation were appointed as vice chief public prosecutors of Istanbul.
Oz and Safak were suspended from Ergenekon without being offended as their "special authorities" were removed. Secen was brought to the top of the investigation being "specially authorized prosecutor."

LAST OPERATION TO THEOLOGISTS
Zekeriya Oz, investigating Zirve Publishing House massacre in which three missionaries were brutally killed four years ago, asked the court two days ago to give permission to search houses of six academicians.
Police launched operations in seven provinces at the same hours when he was removed from the office.
Searches in houses of Zekeriya Beyaz, who was known with his studies on missionary, Salim Cohce, Mehmet Aydin, Sahin Filiz, Abdurrahman Kucuk and Kadir Albayrak continued for hours. 
Documents which the professors wrote about missionary were seized.
