Declarant: Fehim Çalgav (T.R. Identity Number: 556 360 729 14) Contact: fehimcalgav@hotmail.com | +90 532 220 20 02 / +90 532 222 20 02 Center: Station Zero (Sakızağacı Sokak No:11, Two-Storey House with Garden, (Red Sandstone House) Maltepe / Istanbul – 40.923012 N, 29.130567 E)

Subject: Demand for an official inquiry and investigation regarding the blackout by the Turkish national press concerning global SARS/coronavirus pandemic exercises (Event 201, Crimson Contagion, Clade X, Exercise Cygnus, Germany Modi-SARS Report, France Plan Pandémie, Wuhan Airport Exercise), despite these developments being published in high-circulation international media physically sold at airport terminals and retail stands across Turkey; and whether reciprocal airport border security protocols (canine screening of passengers, in-flight chemical disinfection/spraying inspections) constituted indirect intimidation, pressure, or censorship against foreign print publishers and distributors.

1. Global Exercises and Publication Records in the International Press

Strategic simulation exercises conducted globally prior to the COVID-19 pandemic were explicitly reported in high-circulation foreign media outlets with widespread international distribution:

  • Event 201 (October 18, 2019 – USA / Johns Hopkins, WEF, Gates Foundation): A global simulation of a fictional coronavirus (CAPS) pandemic. It was reported upon execution by The Hill, STAT News, and The Atlantic in the US, and The Daily Telegraph in the UK, alongside live streams across digital platforms.
  • Crimson Contagion (January–August 2019 – US HHS): A federal-state response exercise modeling a respiratory influenza outbreak originating in China. Internal assessment findings were leaked and published on the front page of The New York Times.
  • Clade X (May 15, 2018 – USA / Johns Hopkins): A tabletop simulation modeling an engineered parainfluenza respiratory virus, covered by The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and CNBC.
  • Modi-SARS Scenario (2012 / 2013 Report – Germany): A risk analysis scenario of an Asian-origin coronavirus prepared by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), printed in the Federal Parliament bulletin (Bundestag Drucksache 17/12051), and later analyzed in Der Spiegel, Die Welt, and FAZ.
  • Plan Pandémie (2004–2011 Period – France): Respiratory pathogen preparedness and strategic mask stockpiling exercises covered in investigative dossiers by Le Monde, Le Figaro, and Libération.
  • Exercise Cygnus (October 2016 – United Kingdom): A three-day national healthcare system exercise whose internal reports were leaked and reported by The Guardian, The Sun, The Daily Telegraph, and the BBC.
  • Wuhan Airport Emergency Exercise (September 18, 2019 – China): An emergency response drill simulating a novel coronavirus case conducted at Wuhan Tianhe Airport, officially published on the same day in the local state newspaper Hubei Daily (Hubei Ribao).

2. International Circulation Data and Physical Retail Presence in Turkey

The press outlets reporting these datasets circulate globally and within the borders of Turkey with substantial print and digital reach:

  • United States and United Kingdom: The New York Times (daily print circulation: ~350,000–400,000; over 9 million including digital), The Guardian (daily print circulation: ~100,000; monthly reach exceeding 100 million), The Daily Telegraph (daily print circulation: ~300,000), and The Sunday Times (weekly print circulation: ~600,000) directly covered these exercises for their readers.
  • Russia and China: Russian English-language/national publications (The Moscow Times, Kommersant – daily circulation: ~100,000) and Chinese English-language/state publications (China Daily – global daily circulation: ~900,000; Global Times – daily circulation: ~1,000,000) integrated these global developments into their news distribution.
  • India and Australia: The Times of India in India (daily print circulation: ~2.8 million) and The Sydney Morning Herald in Australia (daily print circulation: ~100,000) brought these health security models to their readership.
  • Turkey and Airport Retail Distribution: International print editions (The New York Times International Edition, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, etc.) as well as Turkey-based English publications (Daily Sabah, Hürriyet Daily News) were physically distributed across Turkey—specifically within international airport departure/arrival terminals, duty-free areas, and chain newsstands—with an aggregate daily print circulation and sales volume of 5,000–10,000 copies.

3. Reciprocal Airport Operations, Security Measures, and Inquiry on Censorship

  • It is on record that reciprocal diplomatic countermeasures were executed at Turkish international airports against passengers originating from the UK, Austria, and European routes, including comprehensive narcotic/police detector dog screening at gates and mandatory cabin disinfection/spraying inspections on incoming foreign flights.
  • While international publications sold by the thousands in these high-security terminals explicitly documented SARS and coronavirus simulations, Turkish national television channels, prime-time news broadcasts, and mainstream media outlets omitted these datasets in real time, enforcing a media blackout.
  • Consequently, I hereby request and demand that competent supervisory, administrative, and judicial bodies conduct a full investigation into whether security and border enforcement operations at airport terminals generated an indirect environment of intimidation, pressure, or self-censorship against foreign newspaper distributors and publishers; and whether the systematic omission of these globally distributed datasets from the Turkish public constituted deliberate information suppression and organized media censorship.

I declare that the information I have given is correct and complete. I accept all legal and administrative responsibilities arising from this statement.
