And Turkey gave the US an opportunity to turn back from its mistake

What had to happen has happened. And the way in which it happened shows how perfect the accuracy of what has occurred is.

What has occurred confirms, from the very beginning, the rightness of the policies Turkey has followed. Turkey was saying that the terrorist organization that ABD openly and in practice supported in Syria, and that the AB countries approved of, posed a threat to itself. It was saying that this terrorist organization, and the support given to it above all by NATO member countries, threatened not only Turkey but ultimately ABD and Europe as well.

The threat may not have been that this organization would in the short term turn its weapons on them. For them, the threat lay in their own consistency, their own reasons for founding and existing, their principles, being left with no value or validity for the sake of a terrorist organization. The very task given to the PKK, which even by their own classification counts as a terrorist organization, in the fight against DAEŞ was enough to flatten this consistency, and had already ended its validity.

We wrote on 10 August: With its theses and policy of insisting on the east of the Euphrates, Turkey is in fact offering ABD an opportunity to turn back from its mistakes. ABD was clearly in a mistake here. It may gloss over the support given to terror somewhat in today's current politics. With the media and means of communication of a worldwide scale it can steer public opinion as it likes and produce stories of freedom heroes out of terrorists, but the lifespan and power of the public opinion produced by this media industry are not as long and effective as supposed. In the end the American people will sooner or later ask you: What business do we have in Syria?

In my view, Trump is one of those who can best listen to the pulse of the American people. Despite the Deal of the Century, his immigration policy and his Islamophobic approaches, he is a politician who follows and represents the real views of the American people with a realistic approach. Unfortunately, even his approaches on these matters are the views of the average American people. He had considered both ABD presence in Syria and cooperation with a terrorist organization like the PKK wrong from the start, but he could not get his own bureaucrats to accept this.

Why do his own bureaucrats, institutions such as the Pentagon and the CIA, insist on such an irrational policy, in which ABD has ultimately no interest, and which will cost ABD both money and prestige in the long run? That too is a debatable matter. The justification for ABD being in Syria or Iraq serves only Israel and its allies. For how long can the American people bear the appearance of the mighty ABD having devoted its existence to a seditious state like Israel? Israel's aggressive security, which harms everyone, costs ABD very dearly. A strong public opinion is being organized among the American people at this very moment in precisely this direction. It is impossible that Trump does not see this either.

In the end, some present the agreement reached between ABD and Turkey as against ABD and as only Turkey's gain, which from this angle is certainly not correct. Of course, all of Turkey's demands were accepted. But what Turkey demanded were things that were already to the benefit of ABD as well. Turkey's gain here does not mean a loss for ABD.

To repeat, Turkey offered ABD an opportunity to turn back from its harm, and with the latest agreement ABD has made use of this opportunity.

It may perhaps have been hard for ABD to understand that this matter was in its own favor. Turkey had to act and show its seriousness and its strength. And indeed, it showed them. Not only ABD, but everyone saw Turkey's seriousness and strength on this matter.

Perhaps until now some saw Turkey's statements as bluffs that need not be taken seriously. From now on everyone will have to feel the weight of Turkey's word. After the Operation Peace Spring ended in this agreement, we have now made a transition to a different world. This will be a world in which Turkey's weight will be duly appreciated on every matter.

In this form the agreement has also saved NATO. As a NATO member, Turkey had until now been unable to explain to anyone the threat it perceived, and other countries were nurturing a threat to Turkey's security. In fact, from whichever side you look at it, this meant the de facto end of NATO. Yet with Turkey's insistent stance, the commitments to protect NATO's lands and peoples against all threats, in the spirit of "all for one, one for all", were remembered and revived (article 3 of the memorandum text). First, with ABD's understanding, all NATO members came to understand Turkey's legitimate security concerns regarding its southern border, which they had until now found difficult to understand (article 1).

After Turkey showed its strength on the ground, it got what was due to it at the table that was set up. This is called victory. This is called conquest.

Thousands of thanks be to God Almighty, who granted this conquest. Endless thanks to Commander-in-Chief President Erdoğan, who managed and brought about this conquest with his intellect, his resolve and his strong leadership.

It was a victory that rose like a sun not for Turkey alone but for the entire world of the oppressed.
