THE PRINCIPLE OF SECRECY APPLIES TO ALL THE INFORMATION
AND RECORDS THAT ARE RELATED WITH THE DUTY AND ACTIVITIES OF THE MIT
Providing secrecy in the conduct of the duty and activities mentioned
in Law no. 2937 is indisputably of utmost importance. Moving from
the standpoint that otherwise it will be impossible to render intelligence
services be fulfilled at the required level, the secrecy of records
and information concerning the duties and activities of the MIT
has been enforced with a penal clause included in the Organizational
Establishment Law. Under the 27th Article, a sentence of imprisonment
shall be faced in the cases of acquiring records and information
concerning the duties and activities of the Turkish National Intelligence
Organization, disclosing these records and information on negligence
and causing these records and information to be obtained by unauthorized
people.
