By saying Turkey “assisted the Turkmens", they caused great consternation.

They complained about Turkey to the U.S. and Europe.

They derogated themselves as far as complaining about this country to terrorist organizations.

By claiming that Turkey “supports terrorism", they carried out a defamation campaign. They signed their names on the greatest treason of history by saying, “Stop Turkey," “Punish the AK Party government," and “Knock their leaders down and dissolve their staff." With their partners inside, they cooperated with subcontractor organizations and newspapers which serve as the base for insulting the privacy, honor, and history of this country.

They waged a war against their own country. They waged a war against their co-religionists. They waged a war against the oppressed. They tried to carry out a pogrom for Israel. They served whatever was handed to them by the Israeli intelligence. They tried to beat, smash and batter Turkey through Israel.

They sided with the U.S. when it was occupying Iraq. They sided with it while terrorist organizations were formed, assassinations were carried out and mosques were bombed to start sectarian wars. We did not hear a word of objection from them. We never heard a reaction from them about massacres, crimes against humanity and war crimes.

Back then, when we were putting our heads in the lion's mouth, Zaman daily was acquitting those who committed the massacres. Ekrem Dumanlı, the editor-in-chief of Zaman daily, was sugar-coating the then-ambassador, was trying to justify their crimes against humanity and was publishing exclusive interviews with Eric Edelman. On the other hand, right around those days, the torture at Abu Ghuraib prison was ongoing. However, they were embracing the ones who exhibited the gravest examples of state-sponsored terrorism and crimes against humanity and were marketing these individuals and powers to Turkey.

Now they say “you will be judged" to us. They also say that they will “Put us on trial at the International Criminal Court (ICC)." Before, they used to only say “you will be judged." Afterwards we learned that this meant “you will be killed." And now they are sending us to the ICC. Are we going to be put on trial for war crimes?

Years ago, they used to send convicts to Guantanamo. Why? Because we were against the occupation of Iraq. Because we were the first to report about the massacres and tortures over there. We were creating a wave of opposition to the best of our abilities and were alarming Turkey against the occupation. It turns out they have been preparing to seek revenge on us since those days!

Don't you worry; we are still here and will remain here. We do not have friendly states in which we can take refuge in. We do not have Israel. We were born in this country, and obtained our livelihood here. We were shaped with the essence of this country and we never loved any other country as much as this one. We will continue to stay here and pay the price for this country.

By the way, who are you, and who are you judging for what, which crimes? Which country are you from and for which country do you carry out operations? Which intelligence services give you instructions and tell you to “Hit Turkey?"

Those who did this did not even regard it necessary to conceal their treason. They cooperated with all parties which had malicious intentions against Turkey. They explicitly cooperated with the intelligence services of other countries and attacked Turkey, and continue to do so.

The incident involving the interception of trucks belonging to Turkey's National Intelligence Organization (MİT) has become a litmus paper. Some people have claimed it equals double-dealing. It exposed who really is a person of this country, who belongs here, who sincerely loves it and who are hostile towards this country. Are the obscure powers that you belong to –which had turned the region into a bloodbath, set towards destroying our brothers and friends - trying to destroy us, too, through your hand?

Yes, it was brought about; and is it working?

They wanted to drag the country to chaos through street terror during the Gezi Park riots. We would have become Ukraine. With the December 17 Operation, we would have become Egypt. Execution tribunals would have been established and the country would have been taken under a tutelage regime again. All of these happenings would have been done through your hand. History will brutally call someone to account for this.

What should have had happened, should we have left the Turkmens at the mercy of the Assad family? Should we have handed over the people of Syria to these ruthless massacre leaders? Why don't you ever say anything to the Syrian regime? Why don't you ever say something to the Iranian generals who administer the Syrian Army?

We already gave up on the fact that you stood by Israel during the Gaza massacre. We got used to it and took a note there. But we will not get used to you hitting Turkey on behalf of Israel, nor will we become hardened to it. Do you think this country did not comprehend the meaning of you consistently bringing this issue up and carrying out operations through different newspapers?

Why don't any of you report about the weapons given by Europe to the outlawed PKK? Why doesn't one of you report about the organizations established by the U.S. in Iraq? Why don't any of your newspapers say something about the fact that Germany trains and provides weapons for the terrorist DHKP-C organization? Why don't any of you write a sentence regarding the ISIL passageway administered by England?

What is your hostility towards Turkey about?

Turkey is a great country, a great state and has strong roots. The same way it used to in the depths of history, Turkey's hands extends everywhere in today's world, also. Those who receive instructions against the oppressed from occupation powers, tutelage supporters and colonists will not weaken this power. This country will extend to all places: to Gaza, to Rohingya, Syria, and the most remote corners of Africa, and to the rainforests of Asia. And will extend everywhere as the voice of the oppressed and as the remainder of a great empire.

Neither you, nor the ones you receive your instructions from will be able to chop this hand. You will be remembered on the side of the traitors -who betrayed the country in World War I and the War of Independence- with the duty and the role you have taken upon.

Of course, Turkey will send weapons and humanitarian aid. We will be proud of this. This country, with all its might, will stand beside whoever needs assistance in the region as a whole, despite you, and your masters. Because we have a side in this region; we had a side for a century and where we stand is clear. That place will not change even for the slightest millimeter.

We really are going through the World War I and the War of Independence periods. We are watching a vehement struggle through Turkey's and the region's passion for freedom against the traitors and occupying forces in the region.

This is precisely why we refer to these incidents as the last war of independence.

Those who are on the opposite front and who are enemies of Turkey are obvious.
