Zirve victim’s widow: Massacre’s codes in Ergenekon, Cage

The widow of German national Tilman Geske, who was brutally killed along with two colleagues at a Christian publishing house in Malatya in 2007 at the hands of young ultranationalists, has said her husband's murder was part of a greater plan to provoke chaos in society and increase pressure on the government, as mentioned in the plans of Ergenekon and those who devised the Cage plan.

“We had known that the Zirve massacre was not the individual work of the suspects mentioned. It is understood it was carried out to put the government in a tight spot. The Cage plan clearly exposes everything. The aim of the massacre is mentioned there,” Suzanna Geske told Today’s Zaman.

The Malatya murders are thought to be a part of the Cage Action Plan, a subversive plot allegedly devised by military officers that sought to undermine the government through the assassination of non-Muslims and other acts of terror. The Cage plan was allegedly drawn up at the order of Ergenekon, a clandestine criminal network charged with plotting to overthrow the democratically elected government by creating large-scale chaos in the country.

According to Geske, shedding light on the Malatya massacre will be a turning point for Turkey. She thinks the revelation of the actual perpetrators of the murders will contribute a lot to Turkish democracy. “I love my country [Turkey.] My husband was killed but solving this case is more important for my country than for myself,” she added.

The link between the missionary murders and Ergenekon has long been suspected and the ongoing case in the Malatya 3rd High Criminal Court is expected to be merged with the ongoing Ergenekon case once the prosecutor’s investigation into the instigators of the Zirve murders is completed.
