Samet COBAN

Former military officer. Wanted for terrorism.

When he was working abroad as a military officer at the Turkish Armed Forces, he ran AWOL when his term ended and did not return back to Turkey.  He was officially removed from his position at the Turkish Armed Forces for ‘his links to FETO/PSS’ and ‘disclosing information he had access to through his position to his FETO/PSS controller (handler)’.

He is one of the founders of the ‘Beyond the Horizon’, a FETO/PSS-controlled NGO operating in the area of international relations and security policies. On orders from FETO/PSS, he has been posting hostile messages on social media targeting Turkey and spreading FETO/PSS propaganda.

There is a pending case against him filed for ‘Being a Member of an Armed Terrorist Organization’ and ‘‘Violation of the Military Penal Law’. He is also the subject of an outstanding arrest warrant issued by Turkish courts.
