What dictators lie in Kılıçdaroğlu's heart?

15 July is a magnificent event that ended all debates and set forth, on behalf of this nation, a founding word and principle to the world. In all likelihood, the eyes of people that had not opened in the face of the many warning events experienced until today opened wide before the plain truth revealed by the events of that night. After that hour, no one of sound mind and conscience could have undertaken to say anything further on what 15 July said.

15 July was a charter showing that this nation indisputably deserves its democracy, its state, its independence. Even in most Western countries, democracy is a regime imposed on the people not by democratic means but somehow as a result of wars or by the unilateral will of powerful governments. In Turkey too, the transition to democracy was not a process that the people decided on. Yet after 15 July, in the history of world democracy, Turkey has presented an exceptional example in which the people themselves wanted democracy and paid a clear price for it.

15 July was also an event that ended many debates over FETÖ, over treason, over leaks into the state through gaps in the law, and cast light on the truths about these matters leaving no room for debate. From this hour on, only those who were part of the 15 July coup could try to continue the debate, throwing smoke bombs at the clarity of the event and whispering insinuations to open minds.

Unfortunately, Kılıçdaroğlu has been doing exactly this from the beginning. Right after the failed coup attempt, he constantly whispered, together and without regard to the contradiction, two claims that cancel each other out. He both said that the coup was a scenario and, at every opportunity, questioned the "political leg" of the coup. Of course without neglecting to add that this leg was always inside the AK Parti.

We said it from the beginning: the AK Parti had no stance, other than leaving untouched for a long time in its own period the policy toward the Gülen structure that had begun under previous governments and continued with full effectiveness. From 7 February (2012) and 17-25 December (2013), which proved that it had turned into a criminal network, it began an open struggle against it. But the most indisputable fact right now is that in both incidents Kılıçdaroğlu and the CHP leadership, who accused the AK Parti of having supported the FETÖ members, suddenly embraced cooperation with FETÖ against the AK Parti.

In contrast to the closeness the AK Parti displayed when this structure's terrorist links had not yet been proven, Kılıçdaroğlu and the CHP immediately entered into an alliance and cooperation with it after it had been shown plainly that this structure was putschist and terrorist. That is, what Kılıçdaroğlu did was cooperation exactly, knowingly, willingly, with full knowledge of the putschist's putschism. In that case, the "political leg" he seeks for the coup turns out to be he himself.

Since we cannot say that he seeks it without knowing himself, what he does by uttering the phrase "political leg" too much is merely to cover up his own crime.

Meanwhile, he does not refrain from saluting the brothers, in Egypt and Syria, of the coup whose political leg he himself in effect represents in Turkey, precisely on the 3rd anniversary of 15 July. He does, in his capacity as chairman of a social democratic party, what someone with the slightest democratic awareness and a gram of sensitivity to human rights would not do.

The one who stole power through a disgraceful coup and had a volley of fire opened on civilians protesting him during the coup, massacring three thousand people in a single day, and then turned his country into a complete open-air prison, and in whose dungeons people are even now preferring death to the deaths they suffer under torture, "the dictator Sisi": he says "let us mend relations with him."

For this, he says "let us give up being brothers with the Ikhwan," whose members are now all either in exile or in dungeons under torture. And he says "let us also meet directly with Esed, the criminal against humanity" who in Syria killed a million of his own people without batting an eye.

What can we say to Kılıçdaroğlu, whose eyes 15 July could not open, in the face of these proposals? May God give him what he deserves.

How many dictators, it turns out, lie in the heart of Kılıçdaroğlu, who accuses Erdoğan day and night of being a dictator! These proposals cannot be understood any other way than as the politician who can speak today of making peace with Esed and Sisi regarding it as possible for a similar dictator to exist in Turkey. If there is a complaint about Erdoğan, it is not from his authoritarianism or his oppressiveness; at most it is merely from not being in his place himself. Kılıçdaroğlu, God forbid, is already promising that if he were in Erdoğan's place, he would present a profile somewhere between Esad and Sisi.

Indeed, until now we have not heard a single word from Kılıçdaroğlu about those who died under torture in Egyptian dungeons. We have not heard anything about the killing of fresh-as-saplings young men executed through arbitrary trials, or about the situation of the hundreds of people still awaiting execution.

The only elected President of the great Egypt was held for 6 years in solitary confinement, deprived of every kind of access, of meetings with family and lawyers, of medical treatment, and then collapsed from a heart attack in the courtroom, was left for half an hour without intervention in that state, and died. Then, in the dead of night, secretly, without an autopsy, without even a medical report being kept on how he died, he was buried virtually with his body abducted. We have not heard anything about the situation of Morsi either. The leader of Turkey's social democratic party should have raised the heavens and the earth in the face of such a case.

If, for the sake of 15 July, on the anniversary of a day when the will of the people and democracy became an epic, you are commemorating Egypt in the atmosphere of a successful coup (a kind of Egypt's 15 July), at least have this much sense, man...
