A strange campaign, a strange polarization

The constitutional amendment to be put to the people's vote on April 16 seems to concern certain centers in the world even more than the people of Turkey. Day by day we witness how those who are interested take part in these referendum campaigns in line with their own views and with their own means.

Germany is taking part in this campaign with its government, its media, its intelligence agency and its civil society organizations, and is leaving no stone unturned so that the referendum result will be "no." With the justifications and rhetoric it puts forward while taking part in this campaign, it can no longer hide that it is in fact not against the constitutional amendment but, at bottom, against Turkey, against Islam and of course against Erdoğan.

Just like the expression in the Gezi incident,

it comes down to saying, "the issue is not the constitutional amendment, haven't you understood yet?"

With this cipher-like expression it also reveals its fingerprint on the Gezi incident, an uprising provoked against Turkey in the spring of 2013.

By saying "we could not establish that the FETÖ people have any connection with the July 15 coup attempt; we know them as Muslims with peaceful, secular discourse," the head of the German intelligence agency exposed the other members of the alliance behind this collaboration, if nothing else.

Otherwise, what made him utter a sentence that, for an intelligence organization, could be interpreted as nothing other than super stupidity is nothing but the expression of an inseparable attachment to FETÖ and its crimes.

If the German authorities are going to put up a defense against this sentence or reject this thesis, they have no option but to admit that their own intelligence organization is the stupidest organization in the world

. For a structure that could not see FETÖ on July 15 walking around as an intelligence organization is, in a word, harmful to the world's sanity and mental health.

The truth is that the Germans' intelligence has been openly collaborating with FETÖ, and thus with the July 15 coup, in a manner that can no longer be concealed.

If they say it is not so, they have to explain both these statements and the fact that FETÖ can roam freely in Germany with all its activities and is welcomed by the state authorities.

Moreover, Germany not only harbors FETÖ, but for years has also continued to give shelter to the PKK terrorist organization, which has taken aim at the lives of tens of thousands of people in Turkey with its terrorist activities.

These days, the excitement of the "no" campaign it has joined in the April 16 referendum has led Germany to expose these relations. Probably, with a burst of confidence, taken in advance, that the result of this referendum will in any case be "no," they are letting go of "caution."

It is understood that in this too they have picked up quite a lot from the habits of the FETÖ members they harbor. For the FETÖ members had badly misled these European friends of theirs and their allies in Turkey with a great many polls they published before the March 30, 2014 local elections as well.

Germany's participation in this campaign in Turkey was not limited to these. Two days ago it strangely spoke of restricting the sale of certain weapons to Turkey. This talk, in which the stated justification was that these weapons could be used against the people in Turkey, openly went on record as support for terror by elevating the terrorist organization to the status of the "Kurdish people."

For one thing, the PKK is not the Kurdish people at all.

If they came to the Kurdish people sincerely and listened, they would see with their own eyes how fed up and weary this people is with the PKK. What the PKK has given the Kurdish people is nothing but death, violence, trenches, betrayal and unrest.

The PKK has no concern other than imposing its own agenda on the Kurdish people.

It tries to force onto the Kurdish people's agenda subjects that are never on their agenda. Of course, it must also be asked how accurate the term "its own agenda" is. On this too, the truth is that the PKK's agenda is an agenda ordered for it.

And you would think Germany takes such decisions out of an excessive devotion to democracy.

How devoted it is to democracy and what the quality of its democracy is, it has shown by the crimes it committed against the rights of propaganda, freedom of expression, freedom of association and election campaigning of 4-5 million Turkish citizens (a number that corresponds to nearly half of the Kurds in Turkey) during the election process.

Where would you look for democracy in a country that erases with one stroke all the conventions of international relations of the world and erases the most basic rules of democracy with one stroke for the sake of simple "no" preferences in a referendum? How far can fascism be from this country?

Germany

is taking part in the referendum in Turkey and says "no."

The Netherlands

takes part, pouring out all its racist rhetoric at once with its big brother Germany, and says "no."

Austria, Belgium, Norway

likewise take part in this campaign by following Germany, and they too say "no."

And what of the

US

including Istanbul in the cabin ban on large electronic devices, from cell phones up, on flights to the US, the implementation of which it announced right on the eve of April 16?

And of the

United Kingdom

joining the same measure right after?

A strange election campaign, and a strange profile of participants in this campaign.

We have never witnessed such polarization in any election in Turkey's past. Does this not make the meaning of the upcoming referendum a little clearer?
