Emin Colasan / Kocatepe Drum Dear Readers, the Turkish Army for 37 Years Before It Came

Emin Colasan / Kocatepe Drum Dear readers, the Turkish Army for 37 years before it came to Cyprus today, and there in the hands of Greek Cypriots in the Turkish soydaşlarımızı prisoner had taken the first step to recover. Cyprus was packed for years. The majority of the Turkish Cypriot minority under persecution inim inim moans, removing troops from the decisions of a kind due to pressure from the USA, foreign countries uygulanamıyordu. Prime Minister Ecevit, Erbakan, Deputy Prime Minister, was Chief of Staff Semih Sancar. CHP-MSP coalition and the army gave the final decision on July 20, 1974 Kyrenia stepped into the territory of Cyprus. Cypriot, Greek, and this situation was out of range of the aircraft gave us a great advantage. Bizdeydi air superiority. Removing the ships came to the island komandolarımız, paraşütçülerimiz landed. Was very heavy fighting. Years later, the commander of Turkish forces in this operation a long interview with Gen. Bedrettin Demirel'le've done and will never forget these words: "Before us is a Greek army had fought very well. They fought bravely. " We had the upper hand, and again at the end of the cease-fire decision was made under pressure from the outside world. But our troops in Kyrenia-Lefokoşa, were trapped in a very narrow field. A serious attack on the Greek leave us in a difficult position. In August, the second operation was launched and thrown forward again, this time in our army up to the Karpas region, including captured Famagusta. It was determined to be established later today snırları TRNC. Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, after the victory of democracy to manage and re-passed the junta was overthrown. *** I think the most colorful of the operation called the Peace Operation in Cyprus, one of the most important and most sad events, the Kocatepe our aircraft mistakenly bombed their muhbirimiz batırmasıdır second day of the campaign. Kocatepe event after that date has investigated the four-pronged, with those still in work have done, and after long talks, no longer on the market that are not "Memorable Interviews. Good luck to date Notes "by the book, have published the full text. How do our bit batırmıştık own war? Error belonged to whom? Navy, or Air Force? Three people I spoke to were as follows: Lieutenant Colonel Mehmet Kolburan: Kocatepe right next to the fair share of attack aircraft and the second commander of the Adatepe muhbirinin. Lieutenant Colonel Zeki Sword: One of the pilots who bombed their own ships. Colonel BD Tamuroğlu: Genelkurmay'daki operations center responsible for the war. The resulting landscape was interesting. When the sensory point while it was the Chief of Staff Operations. Paphos in the Mediterranean off the b, r convoy of ships from Rhodes to Cyprus was the right way. This convoy was taking aid to the Greeks. This intelligence is correct there has not arisen so far. But it's probably wrong. In this case, the aircraft order was given: Dispose of-convoy immediately, prevent from entering the port of Paphos. At this stage, discussions were held constant between air and the Navy. Sea, Hava'ya statement included: -He do not ship in the region. -So we'll shoot the ships we saw. -Shoot! *** Meanwhile, three muhribimiz, Kocatepe, Adatepe and Marshal Cakmak, close to each other between the Cyprus and the Anatolian coast patrol duty is fulfilled. Baf'a allegedly approached the Greek ships to dispose of the convoy towards that direction. Naval Forces "There are no ships" message, the Air Force, aircraft lifts, explains the target and "the region to be hit all the floating objects" gives the order. Ships of a variety of aircraft from bases up and begins to flood. However, this order consists of a doubt: Do not these are not our ships! Some fleets are back ordered. However, full loads of bombs jets descend into the area in question did not go to the airport for the Baf'a bombalıyorlar and in this way and pouring loads! The result for the second time rise in aircraft, now the Navy has notified certain, he stressed once again that our ships are our objectives in the region. One more time off and they start to bomb three muhbirimizi fleets again. Kocatepe took a heavy hit in the middle of the sea is starting to burn. Adatepe and Marshal Cakmak, mürettabatını in order to save going to his aid. But the aircraft began to attack again, this time, and Field Marshal Cakmak Adatepe is wound. Both planes trying to go to the coast of Anatolia to escape by making folds. Zeki Sword tells the pilot: "Unfortunately, we did not have a radio connection between the boats, the planes. Vurduklarımızın to learn that our ships are fucked. However, after the first assault şapkalarımızı juggled, how he sevinmiştik hit enemy ships ... " Mehmet Adatepe'nin Kolburan second commander explains: "Baf'a a Greek convoy was coming from the right. This was an electronic scam ... we did not know who owns the planes attacking us, and we were getting fired. Meanwhile, a raft in the sea were seen, and Marshal Çakmak'a. Pilotumuzmuş a falling plane. Our aircraft by the pilot after he bombed with us! .. " Tomuroğlu Behcet War Operations Center officer, explains: "Ships in the wrong place, very close to the konuşlanmıştı Baf'a. Therefore, our aircraft were attacked by mistake. When you understand that it was too late. " *** World War I, such examples abound. Even in America many times their base in the Vietnam War, bombed its own troops. Second World War, British, American and German planes to its vessels, its troops had mistakenly attacked and destroyed. Similar incidents in the Korean War. Kocatepe ultimately sunk, with the Marshal Cakmak Adatepe was severely wounded. (Second commander of the late Lieutenant Colonel Kocatepe Trust Erkaya later years became the Commander of the Navy.) Kocatepe mürettabatından sinking part later rescued by Israeli fishing vessels. However, during the 54 sailors killed in the bombing had fallen. The total number of soldiers who died during the Cyprus intervention, was recorded as 498. Greek loss was minus four thousand. Received a portion of Cyprus, the Greek had given end the persecution. Today the foundation of the TRNC were thrown in those days at work. In the following years as one of Turkey Recep Tayyip Turkish Cypriots out of the market "supply" as tanımlayacağını, some of the "These are our our budget is the load, the Greeks should be the ones next to us savalım" to say in those days would not believe, yet we were dreaming. Some of the traitors that exist between the Cypriots and the Greek EU citizenship, passports will bark for the sake of "the Turkish army out of the" never thought in would be in the slogans. (They do not throw slices of Turks say!) Make no mistake, we have achieved with blood, the freedom of the Turkish Cypriots, Greek Cypriots to be returned in the near future the U.S. and EU pressure, the Turkish Cypriots after a period of time that will be under their yoke. All indicators that direction ... Now that the Greek Cypriot side of the mail, put the hard Tayyip'e do not bother! Again, according to the demands of U.S. and EU, the AKP government by the Turkish Army will be drawn from the island! Does not say, when we will see together! .. WORD We dropped Kocatepe HOW?

Emin Colasan Dear readers, their aircraft during the Peace Operation in Cyprus yesterday's article, I mistakenly Kocatepe muhribimizi have mentioned how batırdığından. Today, 21 July, the 37th event anniversary. 21/07/2011 - 09:19

Dear readers, their aircraft during the Peace Operation in Cyprus yesterday's article, I mistakenly Kocatepe muhribimizi have mentioned how batırdığından. Today, 21 July, the 37th event anniversary. The second day of operation in Kocatepe bombed by aircraft had sunk, the destroyer Marshal Cakmak Adatepe and these attacks, severe wound and had to flee in the direction of Anatolia. After this event, pilots who bombed our ships (then Major), I made an interview Kılıç'la clever. Now this is interesting in this interview and a summary of the event and once again I give you a behind the scenes. Sword Zeki says: "I was the commander of the arm at the base of Ankara apostate. Our troops had to Cyprus on July 20, 21 in July, continued to eject. That morning was news to us. Baf'a a convoy of ships of the enemy is the right way. We pitch the war he had declared the region. Friend and foe, there is no ship giremezdi. Uploaded on bullets and bombs for use against ships in the aircraft, and at noon a special convoy to hit the havalandık ... The first arm leader Namik Kemal Aşıcı majors. I ... I was the leader of the second arm when the commander of Naval war ship that is definitely our friend, a specially trained aviator, friend, and he directs us. At sea twenty-one of the same type, same color and same-flagged ship, even though it makes no difference. He manages our friend, and we also ship vuracağımız of them came up with draws. In doing so, we do not own our ships, even the slightest damage to ... Combat operations center at the port of Paphos was given orders to us all that you see floating objects that sink. Liaison officer to the war zone but it is not granted for the ships ... Baf'a right off. Uçaksavarla us began to fire salvos of a destroyer. However, it was not our goal. Baf'a will remove the target was to destroy the convoy. For this reason, we ship it saldırmadık firing. Here are the events starts here. There were four battleships in the immediate vicinity Baf'ın. Harbor and a half miles (two and a half kilometers) were outside. Anti-aircraft fire opened up to us. Around us we see in movies or something rattling pieces of shrapnel grazed. Dalıyorduk among them. Rocket ships have made the offensive. Then we passed ball attack by ... Then we saw that the ships of the Turkish flag. Turkish ship them to us, but no one, did not say do not shoot. Out of ammunition, of fuel decreased and we passed the turn. But for the last time we saw the Turkish flag, and board the ship, a sad feeling inside of us were formed. I wonder to ourselves, but he was asking a court declared that the war in the region while also thinking of our ships will not be ... Gemilerimizle aircraft had a radio connection between the war ... Our base is we're back and we saw the Turkish flag ships komutanlarımıza said. Investigate, they said. A little later came the order from again, and they reported to us that the Greek cruise ship ... Orders were as follows: They are the enemy ship. If you soak up, and the rest. If your ship does not see the port of Paphos. He can not tell you the minutes of joy. All friends of them to learn that the Greek ship, 12 pilot, embraced each other, threw it into the air şapkalarımızı. No doubt that was in us. Re- loaded aircraft. He ran the aircraft morale. We went from great enthusiasm to work more now ... Enemy radar, flying low to avoid being caught. 20 meters or something ... Suddenly we saw one from above, hitting one of the ships (which will sink at the Kocatepe) is lit. The other two ships (Adatepe and Marshal Cakmak) escaped. We have done our duty, and damage to the port of Paphos. Removing orasını he ruined there be no more ... Stone is thrown, the wounded bird. Saldırmadık the burning ship, now re ... He who in the turmoil (which the pilot) is not apparent that the hit. It's a full day of a parent. So kıvırıp kıvırıp would fire again. They are also shooting at us. But who hit it is not possible to know. Those who experienced all there friends huh. So karavanaya atmadık bombs ... Alçaldığımız even while doing them, artillery, ships and threw grenades in the water. This raises the bombs, water 50-60 meters. In other words, he shattered the water column, we can easily multiply. To friends and the pilot came on the radio and even at that moment I said to myself 'Hey, they like us, Cleopatra dolaştırıyorlar of water columns.' I've Just mention this! After fleeing the other guilds that had attacked the two ships again. In addition to the burning ship had sunk. Kocatepe sinking, having fled the Adatepe and later learned that Field Marshal Cakmak. Both escaped from the hit he took ... After the second attack, also went back to base in apostate. Again and uyumuyoruz alarmdayız. The next morning, the mission will go to a land in Cyprus. He learned early in the morning they never know you were our ships and we had a very great sadness ... Commander of the Air Force base at 9am, arrived and during the campaign in the late generals Alpkaya sure that the Navy Commander Vice Admiral Kemal Kayacan'la tape recordings of speeches dinletti us. This band is probably the archives ... Alpkaya said, "I asked them twenty times, during the first fighter pilots said they saw the ships of the Turkish flag and the board. In that region, and it certainly is not the Turkish ship, said it was a deception of the Greek. In addition, a full three hours it took to give us the answer and that was already in this period of time ... " We all learned the truth, the whole ruined aviators. He perished in a moment with great joy. But this is not our fault. Soak all the floating objects as you see us at the port of Paphos given orders. Let's say I was there I saw the Turkish flag ships, and fire uçaklarıma nap. It turned out that the ships belonged to the enemy and us, to deceive the Turkish flag stoned. In this case, gives an account of how the pilot on them? .. The other pilot friends flying through the air between us was not a consultation or discussion. On a critical tool. Especially in case of war even more critical. In such a case, a friend with you üzemezsiniz flying. Because he will return to itself will be secured and will be going down. Typed for him in the air in such a debate. After landing at the debate and the commander reported, but did ... There was such a Greek convoy at sea. We have not seen. But the sailor told a friend like you is an electronic scam was not Kolburan'ın Mehmet o. There are in fact the convoy. Rhodes is coming, and then perhaps returning to deficits. Here you have a major failure of our reconnaissance aircraft. The convoy of Rhodes off the track, but then are not explored. However, before being sent to the target of attack aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, and decrease as you need to attract the target images. Because agile aircraft reconnaissance aircraft. They finally fired him a few times, but vuramazlar. With a two- maneuver goes sıyırır. Whenever the name of the ship such reads, and reads the name of the dynasty came from seven ... Draws from those who torment of conscience in error. Ships and their ships where there is responsible for this bilmeyenlerdir senders ... XXX Kocatepe you how to interview question and answer summary of this colored batırıldığını attacked, sinking one of the pilots, Zeki Kılıç I gave her mouth. In this case, who is right who is wrong, whether justified airmen, sailors right, who made the error, of course, we know that is not possible. Probably the remains of the state archives of recordings. Maybe after a while we learn the facts disclosed. That while there was a confusion of war, a day after leaving the army in Cyprus is a war ship sunk by their own aircraft, two heavily-scarred ship and 37 years ago today, 54 sailors had been killed. God bless all şehitlerimize. Çölaşan sure to note: Tomorrow's article, hard hit by the attack aircraft from the commander of the naval lieutenant colonel Mehmet Kolburan'la Adatepe muhribinin publish my interview. Irdelemiş through the eyes of the sailors, the event will be this time.

SURE Colasan: Kocatepe sunk HOW? MARINE TELLS July 22, 2011 Friday, 00:50 on added by Republican Newspaper Writing Corner Dear readers, Cyprus intervention in its war planes accidentally bombed our ship, it sunk in attacks Kocatepe, Adatepe and severely wounded by the destroyer Marshal Cakmak was forced to flee to the shores of Turkey.

Yesterday one of the pilots who bombed our ships, Zeki Kılıç's remarks on this subject had given place. Accused sailors. Today, as a sailor, second in command during the incident, Mehmet Kolburan'da Adatepe muhribinin.

Now again, summarizing the event-Kolburan'ın mouth-listen:

The rank of major in the sea during the Cyprus conflict from destroyers komutanıydım Adatepe. Ship commander Colonel Rızanur Scout. Makarios, the Greek junta on July 15 we were overthrown öğrenediğimizde Marmaris. From the decree immediately set off towards Mersin and we started to train for war. Some of our friends 'get back to the last moment' he said ...

Mersin, on the morning of July 19 ships loaded with troops and ammunition began to open. Very amazing scene and tear. I can not for this, it is not possible to tell. All ships in the port radios were confiscated. Konvoyumuzu protect the five ships. Marshal Cakmak, Adatepe, Tinaztepe, and Izmit destroyer Kocatepe ...

We stand behind the convoy as Adatepe. On the morning of July 20 began removing ağırırken days. Took position in front of the fortress of Kyrenia, the fort opened fire on us and we started to set fire to the castle ...

In the meantime, a Greek frigate from the port began to come upon us. Now it appears that a single bomb shook our aircraft. Suddenly we saw a dome of water created when the bomb there, fast patrol boats does not exist! Seeing this scene in 'Good for you pilotumuza' said ...

The bank was making our soldiers. They are widely used in a house near the house had, after five or ten minutes there, took the Turkish Flag, said the job was ... (The first house had fallen from the commander, Colonel Ibrahim Karaoğlanoğlu'nun)

July 21 morning (next day) came to us with a orders. Rhodes, a Greek military convoy guarded by nine destroyers to move closer to Cyprus, have been identified. Disconnect the power to stop this convoy meet. Kocatepe, Marshal Cakmak muhripleriyle Adatepe and immediately went to Paphos to stop them ...

We started out by following the coast from Kyrenia in northern Cyprus to Baf'a. Foremost, it is also possible targets on the beach while the bomb was called to Paphos. There was a radar station on the beach. Cyprus to benefit from our work if we called this radar bombalamadık him ...

At that time, a plane dropped us. Marshal Cakmak sees something shining in the sea. Protect us by radio they said to us, he will look to go somewhere that glare. Indeed, our pilotumuzmuş falling. Tues automatically opened, and swimming in the sea. I went and rescued the pilot. Later in the pilot bombed with us! ..

Then an order came over to us: our planes bomb the convoy. You do not enter into that area. We are going down there for our planes to bomb the convoy. That is not going to Paphos in front of them no longer. Our (the ship) informs us that the war planes came over the operational center of Anatolia. After a while the operational center 'aircraft have returned closer to us saying' began. Why are we suddenly think they do such Kocatepe listener 'to the attack, air raid' he heard a sound ...

Kocatepe Just then the sound stopped, and after a few seconds in a clash broke out our Adatepe'de ...

We estimate that our planes from the aircraft, but no connection with speech. Aircraft for some reason was not in our control.

They are going on July 21 around 14:30. Ship suddenly went dark. A huge 750 pound bomb exploded in the water right next to the ship and see what happened: All wireless devices and gyro Compass and gyro alarm began to ring off the output. He was a big shock on the ship 'Vuu vuuu' he began sounding the alarm tone. Burst pipes in the machine room. Boilers slightly over the record. Have a loss of condenser water. Steam generators stopped and the ship's interior was dark as pitch. Of course, such a sudden shock to all of us created the bombing ...

Planes continued to circulate on us. I think I have every ship, several airplanes. Just one more coming after. We rotated the geöiti northward, twisting to get rid of aircraft, sailing (turn left to right) tutturduk route to Anatolia. In the meantime, we have seen the future Marshal Cakmak Destroyer. A bomb exploded on the shoulders of the same type, the head of his wharf. I looked, the fire marshal the aircraft is ...

We are in the fire. A few minutes later, planes attacked again. Tarıyorlar this time with a machine gun. Iritibat Çakmak'la unable to marshal. He also tacked on route to Turkey with us. At one point south (Cyprus) hits the right I saw that I had Kocatepe, is a tremendous smoke. Machines, where the ship had stopped. Stopped, the aircraft was attacked the ship again. Because it is easier to attack fixed targets. In the meantime, they continue to attack us in the ...

Kocatepe help him to save ourselves before we can not go because we need to secure. Rule is that the sea: there is no danger if the ship can not go to help. You will still stop to help because the machines. Still just batırırlar goal. So before you will save yourself ...

At the end of the radio contacts were able to Çakmak'la Marshal, explained that we are damaged. Çakmak'taki komodorumuz (fleet commander), Colonel Irfan Tinaz you into a secure area (Anatolia salinine) go, I'm going to help Kocatepe said. We were an hour after the attack aircraft of shift, I get the message again, are flocking to ...

They go to the machines durduruyorlar Kocatepe ... see the burning ship around the rafts. To restore lives of officers, noncommissioned officers and enlisted men riding on rafts. Marshal Cakmak what to do there? Kocatepe staff will collect and ship Filikalarını download ... Full recovery is starting to move away from there işlmei starting aircraft again attacked, and Lighter. Machines can give is much, fired, and are forced to move away from there. Kocatepe the crew of the sea remains the fate alone. Israel freed and then ships them to ...

We are the next morning (July 22, 1974) at eight o'clock, we reached the port of Mersin. We were going too heavy for a single boiler. Our speed of five hours, but blighted. That day came in the early evening Marshal Cakmak. Our aircraft have taken many hits. In fact, they are also on board our aircraft opened fire projectiles up to finish. There was damage to the ship ...

We came to Turkey planes flew over us again. But this time, not for attack, reconnaissance was obvious that they flew to. Combat operations center that was attacked during that time has passed, that probably have noticed that Turkish ships and aircraft reported that it ...

Such, unfortunately, there was a Greek convoy. We aladık it later. Electronics may be a scam. It's forbidden territory which Turkey declared war field. Perhaps the goal of wanting to go a short way south of the zone, which forced some of the merchant ships that had gathered. But my guess is, this radar in the convoy was a completely electronic deception. But these images were made on the top and forced authorities to adopt measures as justified. We did not see with our eyes ... he never convoy

Some of us even in this case the Navy's fault so why söyledi.Ama that 'before the aircraft to attack the convoy. You do not get out on the south of the site 'uncaused. Here, the aircraft probably had never heard of their ships. Is the Air Force error I wonder? I think the Force is not a failure. War may be error headquarters. Of course, there is an error. Aircraft during operations at sea were under the command of force commander, perhaps yaşanmayacaktı this sad event. Such things can be and has been all over the world and in each battle. Let us investigate and learn from mistakes.

Emin Colasan's Note: Tomorrow's my article, finally, the Cyprus campaign headquarters during the war the General Staff of the Air Force and Navy, acting as a coordinator of this painful event and very interesting facts about the pilot who witnessed the Air Staff, Colonel Behcet's agenda will bring Tamuroğlu'nun description. SURE Colasan: KOCATEPE GENERAL STAFF OPERATIONS CENTER at dusk Emin Colasan, News July 23, 2011 Dear readers, Kocatepe muhribinin in 1974 during the campaign in Cyprus by aircraft mistakenly bombed an infusion of his own, and the painful events of recent history is one of the most interesting. And after this event has taken on the agenda in the past, no longer on the market that are not "Memorable Interviews. Good luck to date Notes "now have published in my book. Today the third and last time irdeliyorum this topic, the pilot and staff officer during the incident, Colonel General Staff War Operations Center Behcet Tamuroğlu'nun Please accept me telling you. This case has not passed my mind to blame anyone. Even if passed, will review the information and I am not authorized. Everyone in good faith, everyone is trying to destroy the enemy, but an error is made in a certain place. We hope and promise once again, God have mercy on Şehitlerimize Tamuroğlu'na leave:

X X X "The General Staff are always prepared for war operations center and a place where you can see in films. Tables and walls, is full of maps and the ruler. Has the necessary communication tools and other materials. Personnel staff are clear, but each can be called if necessary. Control of the war is conducted here. This shelter serves. There is also the headquarters of the force's command, in a separate battle. Land and air forces during the Cyprus operations center the General Staff, but the sea was the operational center of the Navy Command. There was a liaison officer to the headquarters of the General Staff of sailors. Kocatepe batırılmasının disorder, and close liaison is already the most important reason was lack of coordination ... Combining an anime before. Cyprus, the first of the 50th infantry regiment commander, Colonel Abraham had fallen Karaoğlanoğlu'nun news reached me. Meanwhile, the commander of ground operations center, Kenan Evren. To avoid losing the time I gave him all the military rules by jumping directly to the story. The Universe in tears and hugged me "Alas, Abraham went," he said ... Let us come Kocatepe event. Extraction was made on the first day. There were minor errors and shortcomings, but the same error and shortcomings but afterwards it would be to remove the American army. Then came the news that famous convoy. Naval reconnaissance aircraft, the danger created by the information that the form of the Greek convoy. Seven or eight soldiers in the convoy, and ammunition loaded freighter and four destroyers that accompany them there! (At that time, debate has occurred between the headquarters senior commanders. Aircraft used continuously, Kyrenia, you will reach an agreement on opening fire against the enemy ships.) Is a valuable weapon in the Air Force. The vessels also get fired and support the opinion of the black troops was reached ... Kemal as the Commander of the Navy convoy Kayacan their own reconnaissance aircraft, as well as the occurrence and guaranteed by a submarine, he said. This decision was discussed and that is causing the Kocatepe sank ... The decision is this: in front of them three muhribimizin Kyrenia, Paphos together in a coordinated attack on enemy convoy girişmesi our aircraft. However, not to exceed muhriplerimiz Arnavutburnu'nu, further down, right inmeyecekti Baf'a. Orasını because it had declared a dangerous area. According to accounts the next day to reach the convoy Baf'a (21 July), lunch hours will, accordingly, to make our planes approached the convoy Baf'a the most sensitive time to shoot them. Navy planes struck the state notified Arnavutburnu'nda Baf'a ships waiting to go down and stalking them like hawks and their jobs would end completely. Event from the beginning of the two commanders (sea and air) that was planned. I am a Witness to the job from start to finish ... First, the Navy Adatepe, Kocatepe and dispatched Marshal Cakmak muhriplerini. Departure of aircraft are to be used for weapons, ships and enemy bases were loaded. Departure plans were made. Order our planes, or when you stood up and yavaşlayınca convoy will leave at noon in front of Paphos, to await the ships away. Aircraft were ordered from ... There is a giant-screen theater in the center and trace the way the way this screen you will see the planes flying over Turkey. Our aircraft are reported to be going on the target of four enemy combatants. They also have radars. Radar planes to fly too low to avoid being caught. Otherwise, fire places. This is why aircraft over the Mediterranean descent, and thoroughly up to ten meters in our radarlarımızdan disappeared ... 21 July 1974 The day was unlucky for us. Weather was clear but there was an extremely haze. There was a mist over the sea. After a few minutes, our planes would be on target. A terrible silence in the headquarters. Fly Üçsan sounds. Everyone is waiting, praying ... A few minutes passed in a moment that the door was opened, and inside the center of operations, such as lightning, plunged into a sea. This was something out of all kinds of military rule and discipline. Entering into the sea at such a staff colonel 'Sir, our ship was attacked' he shouted. His face was red and we all had a shock. I never forget, Chief of Staff Semih Sancar held his head with both hands, (the air force and navy commanders) and Kemal Emin Alpkaya Kayacan'a go "Alas, what will happen now, 'he shouted. Alpkaya gave the order: 'All aircraft in the air immediately go back, we stopped operations ...' I said, 'Sir if you order turn back the aircraft bombed the port of Paphos. In such case, installed bases, not download them to your own. "Aircraft, this order was given. Such (weapons and ammunition) installed on aircraft in the super-dangerous. Anything can happen, catastrophes may arise. In this case, our operations against the convoy stopped and emptied the aircraft loads to the port of Paphos. This port was destroyed along with all the facilities, ammunition depots exploded ... The operation was stopped after the first incident, why was sunk Kocatepe? Our three muhribimiz orders given to them, unfortunately, was not anywhere. These were the immediate vicinity of Baf'ın. Perhaps he had gone there thinking: 'somehow hazy air. We are coming to dominate the Greek attack on a convoy, and let's win this victory. "My belief is this. In other words, sat in the middle of the target ships. That is just the heart of the aircraft to fire and waiting for you ... One of three aircraft to attack our ship. But because the other two by birds, that day I have a very dense haze. Just as heavy fog on the Bosphorus. Low-flying pilots can not see precisely on target. Or batabilirdi all. The first operation of such aircraft is over and went back ... We learned the Anatolian coast of Paphos yönlendiğini ships sailors. In the meantime, the Army began to insist: 'mist may be seen in full because of the convoy. They see great damage if they remove Baf'a. For this reason, no matter and convoy operations again no matter all the elements of the destruction. 'In this case, the Air Force gave the order for the second operation ... I'm in with them. Air Force commander, marine commander opened the phone and said, 'admiral in the morning was a sad event. After a moment, will initiate the second operation. Your friends said that the vessels were taken from there. I would like to hear from you in a. Because of this talk will be given after the order of lifting aircraft. '(Behçet's Tamuroğlu'nun not write the names here.) Seaman commanders, came the answer:' There is not no ship. Half-way going the direction of Mersin. This could sink all ships in the south of the region. Get avenge our martyrs ... ' Then we learn that Kocatepe remained motionless in front of Paphos. Marshal Cakmak is going to go back and help Kocatepe. Navy, steaming Kocatepe batırılmasını want precision. Pilots for the second time they went there, the orders given to them is as follows: 'The convoy is now can be distributed. Shoot you found them. "Attacking our planes again. Kocatepe batırılıyor easily stopped there. Air Marshal Cakmak and Adatepe wound to be taking misty start to flee. Ships why the wrong place? My guess is, they kapıldılar a sweet thrill of victory. Dropped a game in your hand, he befriends them hunt. The misty air. As for the speed a little bit after the enemy ships Baf'a an offensive to break them in and they dip the hero will be like lightning. A mistake can be made to think so, but ... Pilots of vessels not seen on the Turkish flag? He is not able to see it drift off to a terrible ship quickly. At that time, going like lightning, and trying to hit the mark. Side of the road while driving at 200 kilometers do not see how the little flower, so is the case here. If you try to see if the flower is distributed attention and you will die ... Did you have the Greek convoy? Certainly did not. If there was, in operations is certainly a stage and served to destroy. Maybe, but that area has an electronic mixing zone was declared, and at that time that Egypt, Syria, Israel, Cyprus, civilian ships bound for the Mediterranean countries, such as changing the route of a paused, perhaps, they did accumulate in a particular place. This convoy is said that only the Navy saw a reconnaissance plane, all the more. "
