Tomorrow is July 15th.
This is the 10th anniversary of the failed coup attempt, which was allegedly orchestrated by Fethullah Gülen’s community, which the AKP said “walked this path together.”
This is the 10th anniversary of the day when, about a year and a half before July 15, President Erdogan expressed his regret by saying that “we did not give them what they wanted” in November 2014, and the terrible process that was inflicted on the country began when the Gülen community had not yet been identified as an armed terrorist organization called FETO.
According to social sciences; This is the 10th anniversary of a night that will be “directly affected” and unforgettable by Generation Z teenagers born between 1996 and 2012, as well as those who opened their eyes between 2012 and 2025, considered Generation Alpha, from their childhood years and throughout their lives.
It was the 10th anniversary of the confrontation that went down in history as the source of the discourse “members of FETO/FETO”, which are constantly put on the agenda by “a certain and the same mass” in order to cover up almost all the failures of the government.
Especially since the mid-1990s. Tansu ChillerThis is the 10th anniversary of the understanding that the so-called religious structure, which revealed its “secret” during the Russian Prime Minister, began to “manifest” in society and “reached the possibility of high-level representation and activity” during the AKP government, was an “intelligence organization” operating under the leadership of the United States.
And this is the 10th anniversary of how a social structure with Islamic content, which for years was defined and called an “innocent religious structure” in the geography we breathe, turned into an armed terrorist organization and destroyed our people in a political and social climate “created in plain sight.”
Wonderful statement from Minister Gürlek
In the 10 years since the failed coup attempt planned and carried out by FETO, as the commemoration process begins each year, the struggle against the organization, especially by the ruling party, is reflected in society.
Religious and institutional commemorations are held one after another. Tributes are paid to the fallen civilians and government officials killed on July 15th, and the sentiments of their families left behind are shared.
This year’s commemoration calendar is similar to previous ones.
Since last week, media close to the authorities began to broadcast about the families of the martyrs.
The Communications Directorate reported that the ceremonies will take place on July 15.
Until December 17-25, 2013, many AKP politicians who did not hesitate to be associated with the Gülen community and carried the community flag did not refrain from making harsh statements against FETO – even though the NATO summit had a somewhat negative impact on the agenda of the process that year. The announcements are likely to intensify by tomorrow evening.
The judicial community will especially emphasize that the fight against FETO “continues unabated” and report on the results.
Here is the Minister of Justice Akin GurlekIn a statement to the pro-government newspaper Sabah on Sunday, he briefly assessed the fight against FETO and the organization’s current position as follows:
“We are talking about a spy network that exploits religious values, organizes itself into secret groups, isolated from each other, in the form of “private cells” and makes living with a dual identity, which they call “taqiya and coloring,” an institutional principle.
Before the coup attempt, its armed power was not revealed; He hid it through elements he introduced into the bureaucracy, intelligence, judiciary and military. In other words, this structure is a professional network pursuing illegal goals under a legal guise.
“When considering the international dimension of this structure, calling FETO/PDY not only a terrorist organization, but also a ‘spy network’ is the most accurate description, both from a legal and practical point of view.”
Gürlek assessed the recent situation in the organization as follows:
“Recent evidence shows that they are trying to create new touchpoints that will not attract attention in commercial activities, shell companies, some business circles and the natural flow of everyday life.
“They try to disguise themselves by hiding in a variety of social groups and movements.”
I have shared a link to T24 news which summarizes the important parts of the interview.
Of course, the conclusions and assessments of the Minister of Justice can be understood as a “confession”.
According to Gürlek, Minister of the Interior Mustafa Ciftci Most likely, he will not resist the “FETO statement.”
How is FETO still alive?
Judging by the statement of the Minister of Justice Gürlek, the activities of FETO have not actually ended; On the contrary, it seems to continue under different names, structures, goals and objectives.
This picture can already be seen in recent judicial investigations carried out in Ankara and Istanbul.
It would not be wrong to say that at the current stage of the trials, which began after July 15, the information provided by Gürlek coincides with the statements of former members of the Turkish armed forces and the events that arose.
Of course there are question marks.
To remove the question marks, two critical names from that period, the former Minister of National Defense and Chief of the General Staff of July 15, Hulusi Akar and Minister of Foreign Affairs Hakan FidanI would like there to be an interview and report with someone like Gürlek.
I’m not sure whether the possible explanations of two people who have never spoken about this process until now will be as “realistic” as Gürlek’s conclusions.
On the other hand, if we take Gürlek’s words as a guide, which clarify the situation 10 years later, what is the factor or factors that allow FETO, which introduced its policy of “manpower building, starting with infiltration” in the police, court and education system, especially the Turkish armed forces, to still survive, despite the passing of decades and a struggle that is said to be carried out with the “full support” of both the state and the government?
What parameters allow the organization to change its form and approach and continue to fight against the government, despite the fact that the state, especially all intelligence agencies, monitor all practices used by FETO in fighting the organization and expose its tactics?
Tomorrow I will continue the topic.
