It mentions the 1982 assassination of Bora Süelkan in Bulgaria, alleging a case of mistaken identity: the target was actually intelligence officer Mehmet Eymür, then active in Bulgaria.〔Today's Zaman, 7 October 2005, ('Secret Services Used Asala Terror as Cover' )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aydoğan Vatandaş」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
