Cevat Yurdakul (1 January 1942 – 28 September 1979) was a prosecutor[1] and the chief of police of Adana Province, Turkey,[2] when he was assassinated in 1979.[3][4] Yurdakul was killed as a result of an armed attack prior to the 12 September coup.[citation needed]
Yurdakul was a member of the Pol-Der who called them 'People's Policemen', and as soon as he started his work, murders went out targeting certain people.[5] Yurdakul was appointed as Adana Provincial Police Director by the Ecevit government.
