Hasan Iğsız

Hasan Iğsız (born 1946, Istanbul, Turkey) is a retired General in the Turkish Army.

He was formerly a defendant in the Internet Memorandum trial, where he was tried together with Turkey's former Chief of Staff, İlker Başbuğ.

The Ergenekon trials targeted a very heterogeneous group of people, merged different trials into one, and mobilized conspiracies tainted with fabricated evidence in the struggle to dominate Turkey's institutions.

[5] Iğsız was due to be appointed Commander of the Turkish Land Forces, but his appointment was blocked by launching the Internet Memorandum investigation, claiming that he was instrumental in launching websites to incite a military coup.

Launched on the day of the military council deliberations with the President and the Prime Minister, the investigation was deployed to dismiss his appointment to the Land Forces.
