In the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK), tenders, inspection commission, laboratory examinations become problems every term. That’s why high-ranking commanders were also on trial. I do not know right or wrong but Naval Commander Admiral İlhami Erdil was tried. Investigations were also held in the past about 32 generals and admirals. Officers and non-commissioned officers in supply and inspection commissions were also tried.
Military Prosecutor Saim Öztürk made presentations within the framework of the “Combating Corruption Concept” during the period of General Staff General General Hüseyin Kıvrıkoğlu and General Hilmi Özkök. Chief of Staff of the period, Lieutenant General Saldıray Berk, organized anti-corruption seminars in three groups for the newly promoted generals and admirals.
IF IT DOES NOT COMPLIES WITH THE SPECIFICATION
In a procurement process, there is the ITA supervisor, the need authority and the tender commission and inspection commission below it. In this process, it is important not to examine the laboratory. After the material to be supplied is delivered by the warehouse, a physical examination is carried out by the inspection commission. Whether the material purchased complies with the specification is usually determined by laboratory examination. If there are some problems in these inspections, the goods are rejected. However, contractors who sell that product or those who deliver it have the right to object. Here, the Navy Command’s tender for 1.5 million lira torpedo wires tender said, “They are having difficulties for the national and local companies. They do not accept our property. ”The company complains to the Inspection Board of the Ministry of National Defense.
YES, RESEARCH
The subject of the claim is alleged to be in conformity with the specification, but not for purpose. Of course, this claim needs to be dealt with in the appeals authorities. Nothing is done before this process is completed. According to the tender contract, the complaint can be made to the upper authorities in the law and regulation. In order to conclude about the person allegedly unlawful in the procurement process, the Force Command, the General Staff or the Ministry of National Defense should investigate.
Legal action was taken with the review of the Ministry of National Defense and linking it to the report. Other authorities said, “Go ahead.” Usually politics comes into play here. The chief of staff cannot have a direct relationship with a purchase in Gölcük. Therefore, the association of the Chief of Staff, Major Cihat Yaycı, needs to be clearly demonstrated. He reported the pressure to the commander to the commander and took action in line with the commander’s instructions.
THROUGH THE EXPERT
Chief of General Staff retired Military Chief Prosecutor Saim Öztürk examined what has been written so far and commented on the matter as follows:
“As a Military Prosecutor who has been conducting investigations on procurement activities for the TSK for years, it is understood that there is no situation that the Chief of Staff, Major General Cihat Yaycı, was out of the laws and regulations and the special legislation of the TSK. I think the admiral is within the boundaries of the task. Maybe not showing flexibility may have reacted.
The issue of dismissal is a Command saving, which is not known exactly. However, this process is of course subject to the control of the administrative judiciary in terms of authority, form, reason, subject and purpose. Political considerations may have played a role in the incident. The authorities that use Millet’s money and trust are obliged to use every penny carefully and protect Millet’s interests.
The consequences of a request arising from political demands or a discussion on failure to fulfill the request have become problems. if so
the reflection of politics to the TAF activities shows that a serious point has been reached. I would also like to mention this: The abolition of the Military Jurisdiction, which knows the service features of the TAF, which investigates these and similar problems and reaches fair results, has caused a huge gap. ”
RESPONSE STABILITY
Vice Admiral Atilla Kezek also resigned during the Naval Forces Command Staff Presidency. The verdict of the conviction of the local court regarding the accused “Sledgehammer” defendants resigned when he was at the peak of the Kezek profession after he was approved by the Supreme Court. Time revealed that “Sledgehammer” was a caliper. Another resignation of honor: During the Presidency of Abdullah Gül, the State Supervisory Board member Recep Sanal also resigned in response to the operation.
Sometimes resignation is the most honorable practice. Today, both Kezek and Sanal are walking upright. Cihat Yaycı was one of those who chose to resign because his honor was damaged.
