At the request of Yamak, General Semih Sancar, then the Chief of General Staff, asked Bülent Ecevit for a slush fund of 1 million dollars to support the Counter-Guerrilla programme. It was at that point Ecevit learned of its existence, and demanded a briefing.

In 2006, he published a book defending the role of the Special Warfare Department, and rejecting many allegations about its links with the "deep state".Hurriyet Daily News, 2 April 2006, The 'deepest' topic in Turkey
