Oh, Ahmet Hakan!

Oh, alas.
Just once, understand a whole sentence and then express your reaction.
Just once, see an event correctly and then comment like this.
The lust of laying down the law from the column you have settled into takes your mind away so thoroughly that none of your views touches any truth at all.
I do not expect you to understand me on this point.
Even if you did understand, I do not expect you to form a sentence that is good for me.
We are on quite different sides.
Although you covet turning a widely read column into a cunning referee role, you are not a referee; you are the thickest of partisans.
Your sentences are devoted neither to understanding what is right nor to standing on the right side; they are words hired merely to strike.
You are widely read, widely clicked, and this tempts you more and more to remain at the sensational level.
Even if you had good intentions, which you do not, staying at that level feels more attractive. Afterwards you keep flailing about, imagining yourself a tough guy.
What can I say, may God save you. May God show the right as right and grant us to follow it, and show the wrong as wrong and grant us to avoid it.
In fact, if there were a trace of honest journalism left in you, you would be the one to catch and voice this contradiction of Kılıçdaroğlu.
But the level of relationship you are in binds you tightly, makes you play to appearances, and pushes you to such cunning in order to divert attention from the real contradictions.
At this level I do not think I can get anything across to you, but for those who may have understood my words as you distorted them, and in case you too should want to understand, let me explain once more, "simplified," at a level you can understand:
Since 15 July Kılıçdaroğlu has constantly harped on our past with FETÖ and the support we gave it. He claimed that we had nearly brought into existence FETÖ, which had been active for 50 years and had also grown stronger under every government before the AK Parti.
The truth is that FETÖ simply "carried on" under the AK Parti government too. And we did not take action against this movement, which had "not yet" committed a crime and which was quite adept at presenting what it did as "service" to Turkey, to the Turkish language, to education, to promoting the country, until 17 December, when it used the judiciary as an instrument of coup against the government.
Before 17 December we had neither a legal nor a legitimate ground to oppose such a movement, yet Kılıçdaroğlu keeps trying to tell us that he knew what they were even back then.
And we say, "Fine, you": until 17 December you knew very well what they were, and we did not. What happened that, on a day when we too had understood what they were, on 17 December, when we should have met on the same side, you suddenly moved to the same side with them?
Our difference is this: we supported them in a period when they had not committed an open crime, whereas you were with them when they committed crimes (you too, Ahmet Hakan, you too).
Precisely from 17 December, that is, the day the crime became blatant… That is, the day it shamelessly and treacherously used the judicial power it had seized against Turkey's elected government, stability, independence and future, and attempted a coup… Kılıçdaroğlu entered into a complete partnership with this FETÖ, which by these very statements he confesses is guilty and criminal.
(Come on, confess it now, Ahmet Hakan: your affection for this structure, which I know very well you had not liked for years but toward which a fondness had begun for some time, peaked on 17 December, and from that day you carried no little water to their mill. You began to put the advantages you have, "widely read writer" and "TV presenter with good ratings," fully at their "service" precisely when they committed this disgusting deed).
The partnership that began from that moment turned into the support the CHP, with all its elements, gave FETÖ, and the full support FETÖ in turn gave the CHP in the 4 elections that followed. With its media, its social media, its judiciary, its police...
It was such a high-level partnership that you took the HDP and the PKK into your midst, and together in the elections you "shook the AK Parti quite well." Meanwhile, terror has run rampant because of this partnership, the country's integrity has come under great attack, there have been martyrs, do you care?
Now, so that you may better understand what has been said so far, shall I explain the difference once more?:
Our togetherness extended only to their "service," their "legal" activities, not to their crimes, whereas your togetherness begins precisely where they committed crimes.
You have no word to say to us, you have an account to give. This is a partnership entered into knowing that they were guilty
. A partnership made with premeditation, by coming together with the intent to commit a crime. How else can I explain?
While we were only approving and supporting their activities at the legal level, you begin
to support them when they commit the blatant crime of a coup. A structure that you yourselves, repeatedly, say you knew to be guilty before 17 December too…
So you have an evident complicity in crime. You know what they say in the language of law: Flagrante delicto (cürmü meşhut).
NOTE
1:
I tried to build sentences as short as possible for you, Ahmet Hakan. I know you cannot read or understand even these. But such is the hope we have. May God not exhaust it…
MY PHOTOGRAPHS WITH CAN DÜNDAR
Can Dündar, against whom an arrest warrant has been issued for espionage activities against Turkey and for collaborating with FETÖ, has taken refuge with those for whom he has been acting as an agent. There, the more he vomits his spite and hatred against Turkey, the more he is held aloft.
There is nothing to be misunderstood in this. We read the matter perfectly well; we watch with amazement and gratitude the horse's track becoming clearly distinguished from the dog's track.
It seems we had a sadaqa promised and given.
We had taken some to be "people of service" because they practiced good taqiyya, some to be good writers because they are "widely read," and some to be good humanists because they are so "whiny."
Thanks be to Him who shows the right as right and protects us from them.
Because of the words I spent on him, he showed a photograph of me taken exactly 11 years ago with the head of FETÖ, during my first and only meeting with him in my life, and asked, "
did someone call me a cemaatçi?"
Oh, how clever, what a great discovery, oh God!
Did you search long to find that photograph, Can?
Did you strain much to build that very clever sentence?
So there is someone even worse than Ahmet Hakan.
Since they all came at once, I must have stepped on one of their corns.
It is not worth answering, of course, but as long as we are at it, let us get that out of the way too.
You, Can Dündar, I have a heap of photographs taken with you too, and with your friend Ahmet.
But this does not change the fact that you and I now, and at the moment the picture was taken, come from worlds leagues apart.
Pictures with you in the same frame do not save you from being in treason against your country, your nation, your homeland right now, just as they do not keep me from an uncompromising struggle against you.
