Retired Lieutenant General Hasan Kundakci said that the general in the photo found in Abdullah Catli's bag, might be his. Having worked for a long time as a public order regional commander at Southeastern Anatolia, Kundakci stated that he never met with Catli.

He added, "However, I wish I could have met him. I wanted to ask him many things about Armenian incident. I might have personal relations with those fighting ASALA. "
