Özden Örnek (2 February 1943, İzmit – 29 April 2018[1]) was a Turkish admiral. He was the Commander of the Turkish Naval Forces from 2003 to 2005.[2] In 2012 Örnek was sentenced to twenty years in prison for his alleged role in the 2003 "Sledgehammer" coup plan.[3]
In 2007, the Nokta weekly published portions of a diary purportedly belonging to the Örnek, indicating that four other coup plans were prepared: Sarıkız (blonde girl; idiomatic for 'cow'), Ayışığı (moonlight), Yakamoz (Sea Sparkle), and Eldiven (glove).[4][5] Admiral Örnek himself called the diary a forgery.[6] The Armed Forces has prevaricated on this issue without denying its authenticity altogether.[7]
In 2015, he was acquitted after the case's prosecutor argued that digital data in the files submitted as evidence in the case was “fake” and did not constitute evidence.[8]
He is the father of film director Tolga Örnek.
Benim hiçbir zaman günlüğüm olmadı. Komutanlığım döneminde, şifreli şekilde günlük faaliyet planları tutuldu. Ayrılırken de bilgisayardan sildirdim. Burada yer alan bilgilerin pek çoğu o dönemlerde bazı internet sitelerinde ya da dergilerde dedikodu şeklinde çıkmış haberler. Bunlar bir araya getirilerek bana yakıştırılmış
