I've been working for Cybersoft for the last 20 years, and I know we have not developed that system, whatever system is in question. We never had contracted work for either the NVI - Nufus Vatandaslik Isleri (General Directorate of Civil Registration and Nationality http://www.nvi.gov.tr/English,En_Html.html http://www.nvi.gov.tr/English,En_Html.html), the owner of the data on Turkish citizens, or the YSK - Yuksek Secim Kurulu (Directorate of Elections http://www.ysk.gov.tr/ http://www.ysk.gov.tr/ - they lack content on the English page) the state organizer for elections, and a client of NVI for voter information.
As far as I know, development of the NVI system for "Central Population Management System (MERNİS), Identity Share System and Address Registration System" was contracted to and is still maintained by Kale Yazilim (http://www.kaleyazilim.com.tr/EN/Pages/Haberler.aspx http://www.kaleyazilim.com.tr/EN/Pages/Haberler.aspx). Likewise the development of the YSK system was contracted to and still maintained by HAVELSAN (http://www.havelsan.com.tr/ENG/Main/urun/2321/the-supreme-election-council-election-information-system-secsis http://www.havelsan.com.tr/ENG/Main/urun/2321/the-supreme-el...). Both projects were contracted when AKP was ruling, though I'm not sure why we are discussing this aspect. If the software leaked information, it is the usual suspect: the Turkish government awards contracts on price-point and the easy way to build cheap software is to forgo testing and quality assurance. As Murphy's law states: "Never forget that your weapon was made by the lowest bidder." You get what you payed for.
As a reference system we developed, check out the General Directorate of Revenues' automation for its 1000+ tax offices and the 2003 ComputerWorld Honors winning Internet Tax Office.
