Retired Col. Hüseyin Demirtaş told journalist Ahmet Nesin that then Commodore Cihat Yaycı concealed for years that he was staying at the same Marmaris hotel as President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan during Turkey’s July 15, 2016 coup attempt. Demirtaş also accused Yaycı of setting a trap for his own commander, raising questions about Yaycı’s role in the events and why his presence near Erdoğan escaped scrutiny.
