While the 5 lieutenants dismissed from the army continue to maintain their place on the agenda, statements regarding them are also being closely followed.

As questions about what steps the lieutenants will take next occupy the agenda, a striking warning came from the lieutenants' lawyer, Mustafa Güler.

Warning against communities and groups that want to provoke citizens by using the names of the lieutenants, Güler shared the following lines from his social media account:

"The text below is for provocation purposes.

The lieutenants have no such plan for Sunday. We believe that our people will never give credit to this provocation, which we think was created to accuse the lieutenants of organizing an action similar to the Gezi Resistance.

The provocation text circulating on social media is below; do not pay attention to it!

We are meeting at Anıtkabir on Sunday, February 2, with our 5 young lieutenants; one million people are walking to Anıtkabir together at 12.00

Civil Initiative

The Republic is the protector of the unprotected; either all together or none of us"
