Do Sedat Peker's claims acquit the defendants of the MİT trucks case?

Every video of Sedat Peker, the mafia leader whose videos have broken viewing records, continues to arouse great excitement in different segments. The excitement he has aroused in left-wing circles, who think perhaps he will create a wave of revolution against the AK Party, has in any case plunged the FETÖ members into great excitement from the very beginning. Lustful clamors of having been proven right with every claim, or as if hearing the footsteps of revenge, are heard from every side.

Meanwhile, the news language of the European media, the Zionist circles in the US and the media of the Arab regimes hostile to Turkey looks like a complete display of exultation and joy. When the latest video got into the famous MİT TIR affair, the joy seen in all those tried in that case is beyond description. Mouths ear to ear. They have come out into the open as cheerful as children in a thousand-horse raid. As though whatever they see in their dreams, and more, has been bestowed upon them by someone to whom, until now, they had deemed worthy of nothing other than, in the mildest terms, the title "leader of an organized crime group." To be confirmed by Sedat Peker, to be acquitted by his testimony... Let us warn at once: it is too early; this is a joy that will stick in your throats.

It is not incomprehensible that Enis Berberoğlu and Can Dündar, who reported the MİT TIR news, have fallen under the illusion that Peker's claims acquit them. But I think there is a problem. They have not fully understood the nature of what they did, the matter they are accused of. They still suppose the matter consists of whether or not their reports about what was in the TIRs going to Syria under MİT control were correct. Yet the problem, at its simplest, is that they poked their noses into such a thing and the way they poked them in. The betrayal they committed against Turkey by doing so. I am saying this setting aside the information about where those TIRs were really going and what they were carrying. On this subject I have neither any information beyond my own state's statement, nor does the subject concern me. But this much is certain: an operation that would throw a stone in the way of an operation of Turkey's National Intelligence Organization is carried out only on behalf of a center hostile to Turkey.

Anyway, in an activity MİT is involved in, what would you expect to find? In an activity MİT is involved in, were they going to be carrying apples and pears? Besides, whatever is being carried, to whomever it is carried, determining its own friend and enemy is a matter belonging to Turkey.

Turkey, as an independent state, lives, feels and determines its own threat perception itself, and forms friend-enemy relations accordingly. Exposing in this way an operation that is aid to Turkey's friends and a countermeasure against its enemies, and thwarting it, is not considered treason if done by an enemy, but if it is done by a citizen of the Republic of Turkey, it is treason against the homeland.

That this was done in the name of the press does not change the nature of the betrayal. Indeed, the reports made there were not made only out of a reporter's reflex and curiosity; behind it there was a planned, media-coordinated organization of FETÖ, which is clearly engaged in treason against Turkey.

That is why we advise Can Dündar, the FETÖ members involved, and the others not to get too excited over Peker's statements. There, no one is even debating whether the content of the report was true. It does not even come to that. Nor does it need to. Turkey carries out the operation it wants against a perception of threat arising on its own borders, to protect its own security and its citizens' peace; that is all.

No one can now conceal the fact that the centers you are trying to curry favor with through these reports, while you gather all the negative prejudices upon Turkey by making these reports, have carried out the dirtiest games, massacres, and terror and occupation operations recorded in history, turning Syria upside down.

The US, which you are trying to set in motion against Turkey, is the most important party responsible for the founding of DAESH in Syria, and for its terror and massacres. Ostensibly in opposition to it, it has shamelessly, recklessly and brazenly provided, and continues to provide, weapons aid, enough to feed an average state, to JPG-PYD, the Syrian branch of the PKK, which even in its own records is listed as a terrorist organization.

The MİT TIR operation, which is no different from tying Turkey's hands and arms against this operation that it is trying to carry out, or insinuations or discourses criminalizing Turkey's aid to this or that group in Syria, only swell the file of treason a little more.

If you had the slightest dignity, you would not be part of a frame-up that disregards the cost, both to the Syrians and to Turkey, of the dirty war waged in Syria by the US, France, Russia, the UAE, Israel and Iran.

Did you think the sin of carrying out, as a citizen of the Republic of Turkey, a frame-up that would drop the crimes of the real perpetrators from the agenda and pile the blame on Turkey, the only rightful party in this matter, could be washed away so easily?
