Recently, there is a debate of retrying the coup plot cases Ergenekon and Balyoz (Sledgehammer) going on in the Turkish political agenda, following one of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s advisers saying there was a “parallel state” within the state and it plotted a “conspiracy on the Turkish army.”

On Jan. 10, Erdoğan told reporters there are “people who are unfairly in jail” in the Ergenekon case.
