The Beşiktaş and Kayseri bombs from our ally

The attempts at occupation and subjugation against Turkey, which began in February 2012 and continued afterward with Gezi, December 17 and Kobani, made their most audacious attempt on July 15 without doubt, and dropped all their masks. When the coup did not succeed, the real perpetrators of the event hurriedly tried to cover their faces, but they had by now been caught by the scruff of the neck.
July 15 revealed that all the earlier attempts were forerunners of the same coup, together with the forces behind it. Had the coup taken place, all the truths would in any case have been successfully overshadowed with the myth of a triumphant savior. The perpetrators of a successful coup become heroes, but the perpetrators of a failed one are destined to be treated as traitors. What set this coup attempt apart was that it exposed in utter nakedness the perpetrators and instigators of all the earlier coups whose perpetrators had remained unknown.
Even so, although their masks have fallen, we see that those coup plotters, occupiers, and quarters trying to subjugate Turkey have not given up.
They are quickly regrouping and continuing to make their new moves. The economic moves and terror attacks against Turkey are never disconnected from one another, and all of them together can be seen far more clearly in the environment illuminated by July 15.
The attack carried out in Beşiktaş after the match last week, and the attacks in Kayseri on Saturday, let us name it, were carried out by the PKK, the Turkey arm of the PYD that the US is now openly supporting.
The PKK did not possess the terror know-how, technical skill, intelligence infrastructure and organizational capability that attacks of this scale require until the time it was trained in Syria by US officers, ostensibly to fight DEAŞ.
The source of the new wave of terror Turkey faces today is not inside Turkey but the very Syrian regions controlled by the US.
And if we rewind the time tape and go back to July 15, had things gone as they wished that night, all the plans envisaged for those regions of Syria would have been realized, and a PYD terror corridor stretching to the Mediterranean would have been completed. The direct effect of this on Turkey would have been nothing other than partition and a civil war.
We are not to be expected to believe that this development was not among the foresights and plans of the US, which, as an important actor within Syria, has made all matters impossible to untangle.
So why is the US doing this to its most important ally in NATO?
What kind of mind lies behind the fact that the world's most powerful country is also the world's least trustworthy, the one that does the greatest harm to its own allies and plots against them?
Undoubtedly this question will always point on the one hand to the US's future losses, but even if it loses, it is not possible to say that there is no logic to it. No one can surely think that the US, having first declared its goal as toppling Assad, was so naive and foolish that when DEAŞ suddenly confronted it, it revised its whole goal and focused on it. Besides, on top of everything, with all that it does it is the only cause of, and is responsible for, DEAŞ's growing even stronger.
THERE IS NO SECTARIAN WAR IN SYRIA, THERE IS A PROXY WAR OF OCCUPYING POWERS
Last week, while doomsday was breaking loose in Aleppo, we read the news that the ancient city of Palmyra, which had supposedly been rescued with great difficulty from DEAŞ's hands some time ago, was taken back by DEAŞ without a single bullet being fired, and moreover together with a lot of heavy weaponry. This exchange alone gives away all the footwork of the dirty dance among Assad-DAEŞ-US-PYD.
Since it hides all its plans even from its allies, it is nevertheless possible to draw logical inferences from what the US does, a country that serves with its actions those it declares enemies and constantly plays tricks on those it declares friends.
The US proceeds from the view that any party's winning in Syria would be a loss for itself, and it judges that the most suitable solution for itself is a state of permanent chaos in which everyone eats and slaughters one another. Had it not intervened at all, a solution would in fact already have been reached in Syria. But there are many signs that it has sabotaged with its own hands even a solution environment that had emerged. With the support it gave the PYD, it produced yet another source of problems out of nothing. Likewise it intervenes in the game in such a way as to ensure that no side is completely wiped out. This includes DEAŞ, Nusra and the FSA too. Assad, Hezbollah and the Hashd also get their share, of course.
The only reason the crisis in Syria has dragged on so long is these interventions. The US is not a partner in a solution but a source of the problem.
On the other hand, saying that what is happening in Syria is a civil war, let alone a sectarian war, is a way of covering up this truth.
There is no war in Syria in which the people spontaneously fight one another for no reason. There is no sectarian war at all.
Unfortunately, there was first of all the revolutionary effort of a people seeking their own law, freedom and dignity, but because the murderer Assad provoked this effort, Syria after a while became a battlefield for countries from outside the region.
Today in Syria there are not sects but the occupation efforts of the US, Iran and Russia, a tyrannical dictator handing over a whole country to imperialism in order to remain standing one more day, and a people's struggle, in spite of everything, to protect their homeland.
Sect? With what energy will they motivate whom to fight, die and occupy?...
With the Beşiktaş and Kayseri attacks they want to make Turkey too a field of these wars of theirs. They are trying to fan the flames of an Alevi-Sunni, Turkish-Kurdish conflict. But these are actions that have lost their orderly sequence. It is not possible for them to achieve with these attempts what they could not achieve on July 15. In Turkey there is a nation that is aware of this game and will foil it.
