He and Hüseyin Baybaşin were partners in the smuggling of 3 tons of drug on the ship MV Kısmetim 1 that sunk in the Mediterranean end of December 1992.

In April 1992, along with a person named Iranian Hüsno, he brought 6 tons of morphine base and 5 tons of marijuana from Pakistan. While distributing the drugs, he chose smugglers, who supported the PKK financially.

On various dates, he collected money in the name of the PKK from drug smugglers named Savaş Buldan, Hüseyin Erez, Hasan Erez, Cahit Kocakaya and Eyüp Kocakaya. But it was later announced that he only paid money to PKK and PKK had no relation to any drug deals. After the Ergenekon trials, some information was revealed that the Tansu Çiller government had supplied Canturk with a military helicopter to move drugs from East Turkey to West Turkey.

He was abducted by Turkish police on 14 January 1994, and his corpse was found the next day in the vicinity of Sapanca.
