Who betrayed AK Party?
Wednesday, 28 May 2008 22:57
First he talked to one of the most important news agencies, Reuters. In the news of the agency that is announced as “exclusive” on May 19th and that had a big echo in Turkey; it was as a strong claim reported that AK Party would be closed, the Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan would have a political ban, and the preparations to establish a new party had started.


There was one important reason why this news was so effective, its unexplained source… Reuters did not determine the source of the news but it reported that the source was a “minister”. In such an era, as the process on the judgement was maintaining, as Turkey was on pins and needles, as concerned that the political crisis would trigger the economical crisis and the most important of all as the struggle to be in the power was at the top, a minister or a “senior authority” in the wronged party would make such an explanation.


In the same news it was reported that “the senior AKP member” said, “ I am concerned about the future of Turkey. Our destiny is in the hands of 11 judges. There is a very gloomy mood within the party. We have no powerful number 2”. Either Reuters was leaning against an unreal and fictious source or some were making fun of Reuters or all these were true.


In such a sensitive period, after the news that created a bomb effect, a number of names came to the minds of the people. A lot of scenarios were created in the minds. The betrayer could not be learnt. As the Minister of Culture, Ertuğrul Gunay was saying, “ I do not deny the agency, but I do not think that there can be a minister like that” the Minister of Justice Mehmet Ali Sahin wanted those who made this explanation to be revealed.


The “traitor” could not be determined. But did not stop either. After Reuters, in the American press he spoke to The Washington Times. The sentences were same. “ I am concerned about the future of Turkey. Our destiny is in the hands of 11 judges. There is a very gloomy mood within the party.” The daily was saying “ Due to the sensitivity of the issue, a senior AK Party member who spoke on the condition of anonymity.”


We do not know weather the daily causes a scandal by showing the news of the Reuters as its own news. If not so, it means that our guy nourishes by the western media organs.


Mystical, indiscreet, traitor or a person who supports the campaign that has been maintained by the certain centers inside, we do not know. But because of this indiscretion, we know that a political power gathering is impossible.
But we especially should focus on the statement of the same person in Washington Times. Because this newspaper is one of the most impostant addresses of the campaign that is maintained together with some powers inside the country for the discharge of AK Party administration since 2005.

I think they have an important role to bring the crisis to this point today. Thinking good, I never said “ actually they predicted what point the crisis should come” . One of the pioneers of this campaign,Tony Blankley, in his last book “The West's Last Chance: Will We Win the Clash of civilizations” using the term “Islamofascism” for the first time ( Then George Bush started to use this term), is the editor of this newspaper defining AK Party administration as “Islamofascism”.


For three years, from the Hudson scenarios to Zeyno Baran's coup predictions, from the prophecies of the Turkish origined “experts” to the slanders and provocation of Michael Rubin, this scenario has been applied and our mysterious “ AK party senior authority” is serving them.
Reporting the situation inside for the coup committee established between the Ankara-Washington line.


Blankley, in his article in Washington Post in 2005 named “No to Islamist Turkey”, heavily slandered the Prime Minister Erdogan, and drew the draft of an Islamist-fascist coup scenario in Turkey.


Among the triggermen of the same gang Rubin, in his article titled “ Will Turkey have an Islamist President?” on February 2nd 2007, by claiming that Turkey to be dragged into a worse crisis than the crisis in 2001, gave place to unbelievable claims.


In the symposium they arranged in May 2005 named:“Turkey: The Road to Sharia?” the US and army intervention to stop the continuation in Turkey was called. The same names with the experts from Turkey were together in the stage. According to them any more Turkey was an “ill man” and the biggest problem between Turkey and America was Erdogan!


We exemplary watch the parallel development between the campaign that; this fascist group plans civil war in Turkey maintains, turns Iraq into a lake of blood, tries to divide Syria, and the developments in Turkey.


Let me remind the expressions in the article named “ Will Turkey have an Islamist President?” on February 2nd 2007: “What happens if Erdoğan does not heed the warnings? There will not be tanks in the streets, but rather political and judicial actions. Again if he does not heed, the party will be divided.”


A year ago while they were writing the scenarios so, some were walking with them arm in arm. Those who were talking with the language of the neo-fascist group in the temples of the neocons did not do anything against this ugly campaign. There is no difference between their shame and the one(s) who betray (s) his / their party and those who give statement to Reuters or Washington. Is it possible not to see them as the rings of the same chain of betrayal?


I think “Which AK Party member is betraying” question should have been asked before…
