The Turks got rid o f him like some in the deep state got rid of Epstein.

The Turks had motive and they had the opportunity.

The Ashes will be returned to the deceased's home country. No further autopsy required or feasible.

Turkey is losing its war against Syria, the battle hardened Syrian commanders have stopped Turkey in its tracks. White helmets were really nothing more then another terrorist organization operating inside of Syria, while they may have had good intentions to rescue people, their motive is intelligence gathering, documenting and holding governments accountable. Many suspect them to have even organized chemical attack so the outside world would intervene and bomb more Syrian airfields.

End of the day he represented a group of anti government supporters, something Turkey could and will not allow as we enter this stage of conflict. No when your leader is threatening this country and that country, personally i wish Greece increase its pressure on Turkey.
