Staatsgreep in Turkije #55

quote:

Turkey should tone down against the West

Yes, it’s a fact that Thorbjorn Jagland, secretary-general of the Council of Europe, will be the first European official to pay a visit to Ankara since the July 15 coup attempt when he comes on Aug. 3, nearly three weeks after Turkish democracy faced one of its severest attacks. (Except for the United Kingdom’s EU minister, Alan Duncan, who was in Ankara on July 20 and 21.)

It’s also true that statements coming from European capitals during and after the coup attempt failed to focus on the very core of the issue, namely, that a group of plotters with links to the Gülenist organization within the army tried to overthrow the government by terrorizing the country, bombing parliament and killing civilians.

There were some foreign ministers who warned Turkey that the coup attempt would not provide a “blank check” to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, issuing their statements just 24 hours after the incident and before the dust had even settled. There were others who condemned the incident but without showing any empathy, as if such coup attempts happened every day in this part of the world. It’s also true that Germany’s refusal to allow President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to join a rally in Cologne via videoconference was absurd.
It’s also a fact that the Western media’s coverage was not objective at all and, worse, was not helpful in transmitting what has been happening in the country to their audience in the right way. It was this column in the very first week after the coup attempt that reflected this disappointment with calls to obtain a better outlook on the developments here.

However, all these will not justify increasingly hostile statements from the Turkish leadership against Turkey’s Western allies. Criticizing the lack of support or insufficient solidarity lent by European countries is one thing; identifying them as supporters of terrorism and coups is something else.

In a statement to international investors, Erdoğan accused the West of supporting terrorists and standing by the coup plotters, naming Germany, Belgium and France, three main countries of the European Union. Echoing Erdoğan, Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım and other senior Turkish leaders are also very outspoken when it comes to slam European countries on the similar points.

This harsh rhetoric against all of the West should not be thought of separately from Erdoğan’s upcoming visit to Russia next week. Again in his statement to investors, Erdoğan said Turkey and Russia were planning to announce a very substantial action plan to strengthen their bilateral economic and trade relationship to make them even better than before Nov. 24, 2015, the day Turkey shot down a Russian warplane. Although Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu had said Turkey’s normalization with Russia does not represent an alternative to its ties with NATO and the EU, there are those in Ankara that consider it otherwise.

If Turkey is planning to use this strong-worded rhetoric to urge its Western partners that they might lose their strongest ally in this region, that would first hurt Turkish interests before those of its allies. It’s vital for Turkey to tone down its rhetoric against the West, find a balanced language and recall that its future is still in Europe.

In het filmpje hoorde je sirenes, en vervolgens zag je een lachende baby.

Aantal dagen tussen 5 oktober 2015 en 15 juli 2016 = 9 maanden en 10 dagen; de duur van een zwangerschap in het Turks.

Subliminal message confirmed.

Gülen’s parallel hierarchy exposed as probe into failed coup attempt deepens

As the probe deepens into U.S.-based Islamic scholar Fethullah Gülen’s supporters, the suspected organizers of the July 15 failed coup attempt, more of the hierarchy inside the Gülenist group has come to light, as reports have revealed Gülenist leaders known as “imams” commanded their superiors in the military and state organization.

The “imam” of the General Staff was Muhammet Uslu, a former cleaning worker who built up an “irrepressible career” due to his Gülenist links, daily Hürriyet columnist Abdülkadir Selvi wrote on Aug. 3.
Uslu was employed as a cleaning worker between July 7 and Aug. 15, 2000, and then graduated from Anadolu University in Ankara. He started living in Gülen movement houses while studying there, according to Selvi.

The movement then reportedly found him a job in the Gülhane Military Hospital’s (GATA) Health Foundation as soon as he graduated and he did his military service in GATA’s Support Command.

“When his military service ended, he was assigned to work in [the eastern province of] Kars as a teacher. He worked there for two or three years and then was assigned to Ankara as an assistant manager in a short while. His rise in the bureaucracy continued as his position in the Gülen movement increased,” Selvi wrote, adding that opponents in the exams Uslu took either didn’t show up or retracted their applications to take the exams.

His career in the Gülen movement ended up with him becoming the “imam” of the General Staff.
Imam, which traditionally refers to a religious public worker, is a term used by the Gülenist organization to mark local leadership.

Uslu was mentioned as a “brother” in the testimony of Infantry Lt. Col. Levent Türkkan, Chief of General Staff Gen. Hulusi Akar’s aide, who previously confessed his allegiance to the Fethullahist Terrorist Organization (FETÖ).

Türkkan also said they had bugged the rooms of Akar and the former army chief Necdet Özel, which was also mentioned in Uslu’s testimony.

“Türkkan, who used the code name ‘Ahmet,’ and ‘Salih’ code-named Gökhan Eski, who was working in the general staff, bugged the room of the chief of general staff and brought the device that we called ‘a radio’ to me after it was full. I was giving them an empty one afterwards. We listened to the army chief for a long time for the Gülen movement,” Uslu said in his testimony.

Uslu’s house was among the places where the July 15 failed coup attempt was discussed, without him being present, according to the testimony.

Meanwhile, Hakan Çiçek, the “second imam” of the Akıncı Air Base in Ankara and the owner of a Gülenist school, Anafartalar College, was at the air base during the failed takeover, Mesut Hasan Benli from Hürriyet reported on Aug. 3.

Çiçek reportedly said he was invited to the air base by Col. Ahmet Özçetin, who told the former that there was a “social event” at around 8 p.m.

“I went to the Akıncı Air Base. Özçetin and a couple of others were there, but I didn’t know them. Military mobility started a few minutes later, so I couldn’t go out. I was there until the morning. When I was escaping the Gendarmerie caught me. I didn’t know what was happening,” Çiçek said, adding that he “wasn’t a FETÖ member and didn’t know Gülen.”

Another “imam” of the Gülen movement is İsmail Büyükçelebi, who has been called Gülen’s successor, daily Milliyet reported on Aug. 3.

Büyükçelebi reportedly has a say in the financial resources and educational institutions of the movement and is a mediator between political figures and Gülen.

Several other reports showed that Gülenist superiors in the military who took part in the July 15 coup attempt obeyed their juniors and sometimes even civilians in several cases, remaining loyal to their illegal order, not their own ranking.
