Bedrettin Dalan

Bedrettin Dalan (born 18 July 1941) is a Turkish engineer, former politician and the first mayor of Greater Istanbul. He is the founder of İSTEK Vakfı, a foundation for education and culture, and Yeditepe University in Istanbul.

He was charged in the Ergenekon trials, and was the subject of an Interpol red notice. In late 2011 Germany declined a request to extradite Dalan.[1] Prosecutors claimed that Dalan was the organization's "number three", and was one of the architects of the 1997 post-modern coup.[2]
