Those who gloom over out of enmity to Erdoğan

Each of the bombs exploding one after another in Ankara and Istanbul causes deep shocks throughout society, in minds, in consciences and in hearts. Each exploding bomb costs not only the lives of innocent people; it also causes great shocks and erosion in people's perception of truth and in their belief in basic human values.

We had pointed out before (it is in any case a quite striking difference) that when terrorist attacks took place in France, those attacks produced the expected shocks only at the site, but this shock became the occasion for an important regrouping in French society, in its state and nation, and with the international community as well.

When DEAŞ attacked in Paris, everyone united against DEAŞ and in defense of the values DEAŞ had targeted. Here, however, when DEAŞ attacks, instead of reacting against DEAŞ, some people's minds immediately turn to striking at DEAŞ's target, that is, the government, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

The bombing operation is organized in great secrecy. The perpetrators of the bombing work quite hard to cover their tracks along the routes they pass or to misdirect, and they are able to divert the target.

Yet the holders of pens and positions who rush to their aid after their action do not even feel the need to hide.

They mobilize with all their means and feelings to increase the fragmentation effect of the terrorist act.

It makes no difference whatsoever whether the act was carried out or claimed by DEAŞ, the PKK or the DHKP-C. In every case the culprit is the AK Parti; all of this is happening because of Erdoğan anyway.

Looking at the successive attacks and at the discourses that immediately and automatically spring into action and join them, it is understood that we are in fact facing a new wave of the anti-Erdoğan campaign that began with the Gezi event. The very same alliance that was at work in the Gezi event is at work again today, and what really troubles all of them is Erdoğan. This alliance has no multi-layered codes. All of them are openly trying to do their part in the most effective way, shamelessly and without scruple.

That Turkey's growth, development, independence and reclaiming of its own will to exist over the last 14 years has disturbed certain people is, evidently, no secret. The Gezi event began only a week after the date when Turkey's

3rd Bosphorus Bridge, 3rd Airport and Kanal Istanbul

projects were announced, our debt to the IMF was zeroed and the lowest interest rate level in the history of the Republic of Turkey was reached. That Erdoğan, as the owner of all these revolutionary steps and the name in whom this will was embodied, has been the target of all attacks since that day is of course no coincidence.

Gezi was a coup attempt against Turkey's rise in the person of Erdoğan. It was calculated that if Erdoğan were stopped, Turkey's march would be stopped as well.

That is why they worked only on Erdoğan's person, and tried to erode his reputation. The "authoritarian" leader image, whose production had already begun some time ago especially in the media of the parallels, was given great speed from that point on.

The Parallelists appeared not to be on the street in the Gezi event, but it was evident that, as a major operation, they played their most effective roles in Gezi's command room. In the coup attempt of 17-25 December, engineered through a judiciary-police-media collaboration that openly and directly targeted Erdoğan, the coalition also consisted of the same actors, even though they took on different roles this time.

The recent terror incidents formed a wave large enough for a coup attempt. Looking at this wave, one again sees that Erdoğan is in the target of the same actors, which has not changed since the Gezi event.

It surprises some that the PKK is also in this business, together with the parallels and the ultranationalists, but those who are surprised need to see further than that.

If one arm of this coup-plotting rabble that has resolved to topple Erdoğan, to take him captive, is the Parallelists, another arm is the PKK, and yet another arm is DEAŞ. All of them are on the same side and trying to hit the same target.

In just such an environment, KCK co-chair Cemil Bayık's saying "my aim is to overthrow Erdoğan" shows in what kind of coordination all these attacks are, and who has gone how deeply gloomy in despair.

Actually they would not have wanted to play so openly. Had Erdoğan been dealt with at Gezi, perhaps the Parallelists would not have exposed themselves and come out. Had the job been done on 17 December, perhaps the PKK too would not have given itself away as a member of this evil alliance. Had any one of them accomplished this job alone, the other traitors would not have revealed themselves, and so would have continued to live wearing the masks they put on in keeping with the roles assigned to them before the people. Now, however, everyone's mask has fallen, along with the napes they have darkened against Erdoğan.

Just on this point alone, can you imagine what we owe Erdoğan?

Even the international media, which has been drawn into the dense and delicate workmanship of this alliance, can act with a discourse that immediately blames Erdoğan before offering condolences to Turkey, which is exposed to terror.

The summary of what this whole campaign says is given away by Cemil Bayık's demand and the headlines of the said newspapers. What all of them say, in effect, is this:

"Hand over Erdoğan and be saved!" or "Hand over Erdoğan and take Turkey!"

Yet by taking Erdoğan they would be taking Turkey captive, and this is the truth that this people, who have now recalled in their memory the historical experience of so many years, know best at this moment.

Erdoğan is this nation itself. With Erdoğan this nation has awakened, risen, and found itself again.
