Who will pay the debts the Table of Six has incurred?

Among the many elections to be held around the world at the end of this year, the parties to the Turkish elections, which will affect the world balances the most, naturally will not be limited to Turkey. Since a year earlier, all international circles have kept expressing their expectations regarding these elections. Now that the elections are in full swing, these expectations have begun to be expressed much more openly and hopes to be voiced.

The Table of Six has been meeting for 13 months. Other partners were constantly sought, beyond the six, under, beside, above or outside the table. It was an open secret to everyone that the usual suspect being sought was the HDP. But the unnamed seventh partner was not limited to the HDP.

The protocols the six partners discussed among themselves occasionally found their way to the public in the partners' own words. But the off-table sources of the movements, motivations and inspirations at the table always made themselves felt.

International circles openly say they expect a great deal from the Table of Six. While saying openly within NATO that Turkey under Erdoğan's administration has overstepped its bounds too far and that its objection to the enlargement policies is unacceptable, they hoped to be rid of this unacceptable situation thanks to the electoral success of the Table of Six that would topple Erdoğan. The Table of Six is thus the hope of NATO, which is disturbed by the policy Turkey has followed in Syria, in the Eastern Mediterranean, in Cyprus and in the Russia-Ukraine crisis. The Table of Six is the hope of Greece, which plays the role of historical adversary against Turkey in the Eastern Mediterranean and constantly chases after issues. They expect that if the Table of Six wins, Turkey will give up its rights and claims in the Eastern Mediterranean. The Table of Six, "which promises more moderate and peaceful 'peace at home, peace in the world' policies," also sends warm messages to them. May the hopes of Turkey's enemies not run out.

What gives away the content of the Table of Six's protocols is the expectations of others rather than their officially announced policies. As long as they themselves do not object to these expectations, it looks as though these expectations will gradually become their official policies.

The most obvious expectations determining policies are those voiced by FETÖ members. They too openly say they see the Table of Six as a hope for themselves. For FETÖ, whose only style of politics for Turkey is coups and seizing the country's administration by undemocratic means, being rid of Erdoğan is in itself a great gain. But it is very clear that they are not content with this gain and expect to re-establish their old parallel structure in all the institutions of the country. The messages given on this matter by both Kılıçdaroğlu and Akşener promise that the FETÖ parallel structure will be re-established.

Leaving aside the HDP as the seventh partner, we are already beginning to hear that the PKK too aspires to be a direct partner in power through the Table of Six. Mustafa Karasu says, so that everyone can hear, that the only remedy that will save the PKK from the "fascistic regime" of Erdoğan and Bahçeli is the alliance of the Table of Six.

The expectations expressed by Ahmet Türk, who made a speech in the square on Newroz day on behalf of the HDP, express the protocols of the Table of Six:

"In this election, in order to build the democratic republic, in order to bring down fascism, we must increase our efforts. This period is the period of Mr. Öcalan's liberation. This period will be a period of the Kurdish people's determining their own destiny."

Those who dislike Erdoğan's democracy and call it fascism: did we not see the kind of administration they offered the Kurdish people in the trench practices presented as the so-called "building of autonomous administration"? That those whose entire horizon in the name of democracy does not go beyond these trench practices are still speaking in the name of the Kurdish people is in fact the very "Kurdish problem" itself.

Thus we learn directly from the creditor the great debts the Table of Six has taken on in order to stay together and march to power: Öcalan's liberation and the PKK's terror agenda. We are not even getting into the debate on the Kurdish people's self-

determination.

The Table of Six has taken on very large debts to complete fifty percent. God forbid, when it comes to power and the creditors are at the door, it will have nothing to give except Turkey.

IF ONLY THE HDP HAD ALSO PUT DISTANCE BETWEEN ITSELF AND TERROR LIKE HÜDA-PAR

The biggest mistake in the criticisms made over Hüda-Par's entry into the People's Alliance is the attempt to identify and compare the HDP with Hüda-Par. In the article I wrote on this subject, I said that Hüda-Par would definitely come out ahead in these comparisons and that, as it stands, it disturbs both the HDP and the CHP, which is trying to legitimize its forbidden-love affair with it.

Because Hüda-Par is telling the HDP precisely what it should be or what it should do. Since its founding, that is, in its 11-year history, Hüda-Par has not engaged in a single act of violence; on the contrary, it has been exposed to the PKK's countless violent attacks. It has no official link with Hizbullah, to which it is attributed, and even if it did, Hizbullah carried out its last acts of violence in 2000. Since then it has proven that it has put a definite distance between itself and violence.

In fact, until 8-9 years ago even the PKK was offered this opportunity. Had the PKK acted as the resolution process required, and had the HDP put a definite distance between itself and violence and the PKK, today, let alone the CHP, it could comfortably have been a party to any kind of political negotiation even with the AK Parti.

The AK Parti is the party that saw and recognized the Kurdish issue caused by the CHP and brought it to a certain resolution. For a more definite and lasting resolution, it did not shrink from entering a resolution process with the PKK as well. But the PKK and the HDP spoiled this process. Had they not spoiled it, had they not coveted the treacherous plans the USA promised them inside Syria and not committed this betrayal against both the Kurdish people and Turkey, today both Turkey and the region could have been in a very different state.
