You exploited almost all areas of Turkey's weakness. You turned ethnic differences, sectarian identities, social distress and political dissatisfaction into battle grounds.
As some tried to narrow down these areas of weakness and remedy it to the best of their ability, you waged war against them. As some tried to make this country a mutual nation, as the mutual nation notion started to settle in, you displayed unimaginable atrocities to divide it even further.
You made their hand weaker, you set up traps for them, you wanted to destroy their reputation and you insolently organized attacks against them. You wanted to dismiss them, eliminate them, and if necessary, hand them. With your partners on the inside and outside, you prepared to turn this country into a line of defense reminiscent of the War of Independence era.
With all your evil feelings, you established a joint front against the mutual good of the country. With your ideological obsessions, your personal ambitions, political blindness, your hostility toward this country, your belittling of this people, your admiration of other countries and your 150-year ongoing tradition of betrayal, you added new rings of betrayal to the chain.
After being removed from the entire geography and being confined in Anatolia since World War I, you turned these lands, Anatolia, to which we are holding on to for our life, into a prison. You followed to a tee the orders of those who force you to war, to the front against the first revolt, against the century-old tutelage, against the first challenge and the first fight for freedom.
You opposed attempts of resolution aimed at negating the decades-long terror and ethnic separation projects targeting Turkey. You took it lightly, mocked it and eventually negated it. You accused those who put themselves and their political future on the line of betraying the country.
You said, "He gifted the country to the PKK." You said, "He is dividing the country." Whereas, those who wanted to revive the brotherhood continuing from the Seljuk period had a joint dream, which they were trying to exalt with the entirety of this country.
The geography was falling apart, countries were being destroyed, city wars were spreading, and those who were neighbors for centuries, kith and kin, were strangling one another. A sinister storm was sweeping our geographical region. The danger was very close. The threat was greater than the PKK and Kurdish issue. We were going to lose another century.
Changing the wind's direction was the greatest struggle, it was the only way. There was no other solution. Achieving this would not only save Turkey, but the region. Achieving this was to bury in history the nightmare scenario aimed at the Muslim Middle Zone of the world, which extends from the Atlantic coasts to the Pacific Ocean, to light a brand new light of hope, to be a source of inspiration to destroyed countries and those on the brink of being destroyed. Just as was the case after the Crusades, the Mongolian invasion and post-World War I, why shouldn't that "third shockwave" be possible once more? Why shouldn't these soils, the depth of Anatolia, present a new road map to nations, countries and the region? It had the power, the means, the political background and experience. This was the region's greatest war of independence against the biggest and longest invasion project that has been ongoing non-stop for probably 50 years, which has divided our region and made the people strangers to one another, turning those living on the same street into ruthless enemies.
You acted in unison with those who ruthlessly continued the invasion. You took side on their front. Together with them, you started destructive attacks against members of this grand project. According to you, tutelage had to continue. New monarchies, new oppressive administrations, Baathists ideologies and Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi-style military administrations had to continue.
Because the region could only be managed through such regimes. They tried the same thing in Turkey numerous times. And at each attempt, you sided with them. You turned their guns at your country, you showered the future of the country and the people in bullets, and when you needed help, you sought asylum in them.
The project was big. Turkey couldn't ensure its own civil peace. If it could, there would be new hope for the region. If Turkey resists and is revived, the region will resist and be revived. A new era would begin. Nothing would be as it used to. The 150-year order would be over and this could not be allowed. Terror and separation needed to be started once again to stop Turkey from eliminating the 150-year tutelage.
That's exactly what happened. All terrorist organizations were united. The "umbrella" for political parties was now formed for terrorist organizations. Organizations shaped through ethnic and religious/sectarian identities were now acting in unison. The war was carried from the mountains to the city.
Terrorist organizations and media campaigns, intellectual terror started to act together. Such that intellectual terror was mobilized by the ruling founding oligarchies of the past, and began to give greater harm than terrorism. Because the mental defense of masses in this area was very difficult.
Turkey was being surrounded from the north. Its borders were being taken under control and the area just behind the border was being turned into an anti-Turkey front. Hundreds of kilometers-long fronts were built. They wanted to turn the entire Turkey-Syria border into a front that would suffocate us inside. The surrounding from the outside was continued with the invasion on the inside.
PKK attacks, attacks by other terrorist organizations, media campaigns, open support for terrorist organizations… This was new and Turkey was under attack. Our country was under complete attack. While they were managing terrorist organizations and determining how to act, how to attack, how city wars would be started, and how arms would be transported, a new campaign was started through terrorist attacks. Those who supported terror were accusing the government of aggravating terror.
Those complaining "you sold the country" against the reconciliation process, those who negated all efforts to reconcile, and who drowned the country in terrorism have now started an attack campaign through terrorism; they said the country is being dragged into war, that civil war will break, and held responsible those who want peace.
What kind of atrocity, betrayal, evil is this? Those who once demonized the PKK are now turning it into a hero. Just like the U.S. first made heroes of the Afghan mujahids, and then demonized them to invade the country through this demonization. Just like it made an alliance with Saddam Hussein against Iran, then demonized him and, through this, it invaded Iraq. They are now making heroes of the PKK which they previously demonized. They are making political calculations through the blood of the people of Anatolia. They are trying to discipline the government, the country, the people through the PKK to take the administration, the political and economic share they want. The great project is to finish Turkey. Thus, they are making do with the little they are given and waging war against the country and the people for this. Turkey saw many evils, but none as atrocious as this.
A group that has become organized and is trying to take control of the government is openly managing terror and displaying one of the biggest betrayals of history through the blood of the children of this country.
We witnessed great betrayals since World War I. We experienced such grievances that we thought these had become history. But it seems nothing becomes old. This is a betrayal as extreme as those in the World War I era. As Turkey works to grow, become free, those on the inside have been given tenders to turn this country into Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. The tender awarded to the PKK is the same tender awarded to these internal invaders.
So there is one way left: A ruthless resistance...
It is a matter of honor to carry out the same battle against these internal invaders as has been done to the PKK. A kind of war of independence, a purge needs to be started against these internal figures in the opposite front of the great fight that has been continuing for the last century. It will not be possible for this country to remain on its feet before these local invaders are eliminated, before their hopes of ruling are shattered and their contractorship is terminated.
The greatest threat the country is facing is internal invasion. Hence, the greatest struggle should be started against the internal invasion. And once this ruthless resistance begins, they will see the strength of this country.
