[6] Küçük is thought to be the founder of the JİTEM intelligence arm of the Turkish Gendarmerie.
[7] Küçük was accused by the Turkish government of being the head of the Ergenekon organisation, based on testimony by Tuncay Güney.
[8] At first, Küçük is said to have close links with Alparslan Arslan, the shooter in the 2006 Turkish Council of State shooting based on a photograph in Sweden.
[9] Later on, it turned out that the man next to Küçük was not Arslan, but an Azerbaijani citizen named Mehmed Mehmedov.
[10] During the Ergenekon trials both Muzaffer Tekin and Oktay Yıldırım kissed Küçük's hand in court, as a traditional sign of respect.
