Those who resist make history. Not those who hide behind another’s shadow, who appeal to someone else, who try to live with others’ compassion. Only heroes are remembered; leaders, guides, those who self-sacrificingly march for a great cause are remembered. Opportunists, those who sell out their country and values for their own personal plans, those who partner with greater powers are completely forgotten after a certain time. The only thing that is remembered is the shame felt in their name, the evil and lack of character. While future generations read history through heroes, form an identity through heroes, they also curse these examples of shame.

Those who resist, who fight are the ones who shape the region. We are currently living in the region of those who fought for their homeland, for their nation, their country and their cities. Someone drew dozens of maps a century ago; they applied it and thick walls were woven in our minds. The Ottoman political map was destroyed. They left little garrisons for us all, they left regimes under tutelage and made-up political identities. The cooperators of back then lost their homeland, let alone build a region. They thought being a mandatary meant staying alive. They lost themselves, and they made this region and this country pay heavy prices.

One-hundred-and-three years ago, we were defending our homeland in Çanakkale, and today, we are defending our homeland in Afrin, in the north of Syria, in the zone spanning the Iranian border and the Mediterranean. Whoever stood against us in the Gaza wars, Canal war, Yemen war, the defense of Medina a century ago, the same countries and forces are standing against us again today.

Just as those states had partners, hitmen, cooperators on the inside, in our region a century ago, today, they have terrorist organizations, civil organizations and strange partners from all segments. When Jerusalem fell a century ago, when the Palestine front collapsed, we saw Damascus and Anatolia fall too. We saw that Anatolia could not be defended either and that the region collapsed.

Today, when Damascus fell, when Baghdad fell, we saw some were making preparations to open the “Turkey Front”; they had “internal invasion” plans. We witnessed the entire region from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean being plundered, the West putting up its guard against the likelihood of the construction of a region under the leadership of Turkey and that they started to strike Turkey themselves through terrorist organizations and through their partners in the region.

We saw scenarios being played out through the Fetullah Terrorist Organization, through the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), through the Democratic Union Party (PYD), through the secret native PYD cryptos, through Barzani intelligence, through the PKK crypto that has taken on a conservative identity, and through PKK fascism, which uses Islamism as a shield, a camouflage.

Now that Turkey has witnessed all this, that it has witnessed the July 15 attack, that it has witnessed itself being sieged from northern Syria and northern Iraq, it has assumed a great challenge. We are either going to exist, grow, build a region or we are going to surrender and shrink, allow the entire region to be plundered, shredded into pieces and lose the 21st century.

There is a great struggle. As we break the siege from Afrin, they are trying to attack from the Eastern Mediterranean, from the Aegean. As we try to negate the corridor in northern Syria, they are striking from northern Iraq. As we try to crush the PKK terrorists on the inside, they are establishing terror bases right next to us. The U.S., U.K., Israel and Europe are all conducting a war “to stop Turkey.”

By entering Afrin, we struck a heavy blow on these multinational plans. We did the same with the Euphrates Shield. We won’t be stopping with Manbij either. We have to continue until all the terrorist organizations, foreign elements are cleared from the Iranian border, from northern Syria and northern Iraq.

When Turkey took action, they staged a coup in Saudi Arabia and established a new administration. They opened a new front with a partnership between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia and with the mind of U.S. and Israel. They put Iran on the target board and started striking Turkey. Everybody should remember that their target is not Iran: The global intervention aimed at the region has a single target and that is Turkey.

Because they know that with Tukey, with the current national state mind, that great march and rise in place, they are not going to be able to implement any project in this region.

Everybody must come to their senses and check where they stand.

Then everybody must come to their senses. Everybody should take their place on the history page of those who resist. Nobody should think about achieving a bargaining card in multinational scenarios by taking the places of FETÖ terrorists. Regardless of their political circle or ethnic identity, nobody should want to be part of a new “internal operation.” Most importantly, nobody should attempt to stop Turkey through a native opposition that is rooted outside.

For a while now, we have been focusing on two topics: “Conservative Opposition” and “Conservative Intervention.” We are aware of a danger and we are trying to warn people. We are talking about a multinational plan aimed at cracking the backbone of the Great Turkey ideal. We are talking about a sly operation, the massacre of good will, a foreign threat veiled by the Muslim identity and an internal operation attempt.

I am going to add here the notes I summarized from the Gerçek Hayat magazine today. The stance of the “conservative/Islamic” circle and people toward the West in relation to imperial intervention since the start of the 21st century has been one of the most important topics for us.

There has always been hesitation in relation to producing a liberationist discourse for history, the region, our country and the world, to say something, to determine a powerful stance, on the topic of shaping a future for the Muslim world other than under the protection of the West.

Those who activated all groups against great men of struggle that were set on protecting the state, like Sultan Abdülhamid II, affected conservative groups and managed to push them outside the state’s struggle.

In the early 20th century, there were discussions on being pro-British and pro-mandate. We always questioned this. We are in the early 21st century, and this time, we are questioning pro-Americanism, continuing the U.S. tutelage and the psychology of “seeking refuge in a great power” once more.

Back then, those who implemented the plan of, “If you can’t stop Abdülhamit, isolate him,” are today implementing the plan of: “If you can’t stop Erdoğan, control the conservatives, muddy their minds, confuse the social fraction that is giving him strength, increase their doubts and make him lonely.”

Those who tried to accelerate the empire’s collapse then by toppling Abdülhamid, are trying to stop Turkey’s rise by toppling Erdoğan today. That is clear as crystal.

Back then, those who used the clans, some Islamic circles, some religious groups in the Middle East, are applying the same tactic today. The tools of intervention are now exhausted; conservatives are the only ones left. They want to prevent Turkey’s local stance, its march for freedom after a century, they want to prevent it from starting a new rise in history by confusing the circles that form the backbone of this struggle.

The July 15 “internal intervention” failed. The terror corridor and the intervention plan to close in “from nearby” failed with the Euphrates Shield and Afrin operation. Now, a new front has been established further south. An axis through the UAE and Saudi Arabia has been established as part of a project by the U.S., U.K. and Israel. This is a front. This is a new front that is targeting Turkey.

This is a front adjusted to isolate Turkey in the region and Erdoğan on the inside. Since they cannot intervene from state to state, they are laying the last card they can use on the table. They are carrying out an attempt to create a bloc by bringing conservative circles close under the name of “innocent opposition.” Of course everybody has the right to take a political stance. This is unquestionable. But this is not what we are arguing. What they want to do rather than an internal opposition is a “multinational intervention” plan.

Conservative circles need to be careful. The biggest supporters of Turkey’s great march need to be careful. An operation is being carried out through the UAE-Saudi Arabia. This has nothing to do with being Muslim. Both the organization and funds are provided from these sources. The U.S., U.K. and Israel are preparing for a new intervention on Turkey through Islamic discourse. Nobody should make little calculations. This century-old struggle should not become the sacrifice of the covert projects of certain groups. An “Islamism” that is built on the foundation of Kurdism, on an imperial plan to divide, will be a betrayal to the entire region.

We are warning our brothers and sisters. This is a call. Go into history, shoulder the great historic leap. Do not allow yourself to be the victim of mandate, tutelage and covert operations again. Part your ways with those who set off with that aim. Remain loyal to the political genetic that has been ongoing since the Seljuks. This is the only way to save both Turkey and the region.

There is no other way.
