Halil Ibrahim Yilmaz, the lawyer of the director of Sapat international educational institution Orhan Inandi, gave an interview to Azattyk.
He stated in the interview that the president of Sapat network of educational institutions had been abducted by three Kyrgyz men.
«He doesn’t know who kidnapped him. But he says that the abductors were the Kyrgyz. It could be the Kyrgyz police, security service, or another group. He doesn’t know who did it. The only thing he says is that the operation to kidnap him was carried out by three people of Kyrgyz nationality,» Halil Ibrahim Yilmaz said.
Answering the question how Orhan Inandi was kidnapped, the lawyer said:
«They grabbed and blindfolded him. He was taken to Turkey the next day. They drove him in a car for 5-6 hours and took him to the plane blindfolded. He does not know where he was put on the plane — in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan or Tajikistan. However, they transported him by car for 5-6 hours, put on a plane and they arrived in Turkey the next day. Because he was blindfolded, he does not know through which country he was delivered.»
