"BLEEDING TURKISH"
Erdogan is going further than Washington
approves: Why?
By Horace Husseini
Erdogan Sultan |
The failure of an alleged coup attempt
against the government of Tiyip Erdogan seems to have opened a new chapter in
the political history of Turkey, one that goes back to the nation at times of
impalements and dungeons. Although the impalements is rather a metaphor to talk
about the penalties, the fact is that in the last 72 hours, the country has
become a real Gulag and seems to go right to become a giant detention camp
"traitors ".
The irony of fate. Those who met the
dirtiest orders against Arab peoples of Syria and Iraq now fall under the
pitiless sword of the tyrant who like the rabid dog bite without distinguishing
anyone. Even the conspirators are abandoned by Washington, as is usual- who
closed the door in his face and the unknown.
The numbers speak for themselves and they
show something more than an act of justice by the government.
Until now some
say about 9,000 arrests, including hundreds of admirals and generals, judges,
prosecutors, police chiefs, civil related to several of these officials and
figures would increase in the coming days are counted. For other sources, the
current figures are 50,000 detainees including teachers, professors and
religious leaders adherents to the current Gulen are included.
Already leaked some snapshots of what is
happening with simple privates to obey orders, were mobilized in the alleged
attempted without knowing what their objectives. One shows hundreds of soldiers
without their clothes, lying on the floor of a room, stacked with his hands
cuffed behind his back to mercy officers loyal to Erdogan. For those with a
little memory and knowing the close relationship, reminiscent of the images of
Abu-Ghraib prison in Iraq and similar abuses at Guantanamo, Cuba where the US
military under the supervision of elements of the CIA, made each of these
people , hell through tortures and humiliations most abhorrent that anyone
could imagine.
Given this evidence and the clear lack of
control that is occurring in the country, Washington looking as the saying says
"that blood does not reach the river," called on the government of
Erdogan to moderate its methods as it is a condition for membership NATO,
respect for democracy; a definition that neither the Americans themselves have
never respected. But apparently there are more important reasons for Erdogan,
leading him to ignore appearances at the White House and Secretary of State
John Kerry. According to some intelligence sources, Moscow had warned Erdogan
almost a month in advance, the possibility of an uprising supported from
Washington and that plans was his physical elimination. The latter seems to be
confirmed with the failed assassination attempt on Erdogan when he was in the
coastal town of Marmaris where a command of men attacked his vehicle convoy
escort and killing two of his bodyguards.
If something does not distinguish the
government of Recep Erdogan Tiyip is its
corrupt brutality that with this new framework, it appears that the increase to
levels unimagined. The so-called democracy in Turkey has undoubtedly become an
express autocracy, which has achieved the opportunity to concentrate absolute
power and undertake unlimited, persecution the most faithful style of Stalin.
It is certainly a dream come true, with which Erdogan may take off until the
last of their opponents. But this is not new, continuously, Washington and the
EU have tolerated violations of human rights carried out by Ankara and is, as a
remembered US official of one of their puppets in the Middle East said and that
fits very well Turkish president is, "Erdogan is a Son of a bitch, but he's our son of a bitch".
It seems clear that the motivations for
this attempt were not in the Erdogan government incongruities crystallized with
its relations with the "ISIL" and "Al Qaeda". The real
reasons for this were based on Erdogan's sudden decision to take a turn towards
Moscow and Washington turn my back on something that would not pass without
consequences. Apparently among the new plans include the Russian-Turkish
reconciliation, the retooling of military equipment would be found for the
Turkish armed forces with weapons of Russian origin would include,
next-generation aircraft.
Do not forget that the crisis in the Ankara
government had begun by the end of November 2015 when two F-16 fighters led by
an aircraft electronic intelligence AWACS American Command based in Saudi
Arabia tore down cunningly to a SU-24 Russian who It is operating against the
mercenaries of “Al-Nusra Front” in northern Syria. Vladimir Putin and his
government the situation was intolerable and there was no way that what
happened be forgotten.
Erdogan forces and followers acting |
Apparently and beyond that Erdogan he says
as the brain of the attempt to Fetulá Gulen who lives in Pennsylvania, USA,
there are strong arguments in Ankara to believe that Gulen was used or rather
collaborate with the White House and the Pentagon to get rid of he. According
to some reports, the success of the putsch was guaranteed because once the rule
of a military junta as happened in Egypt Washington would recognize the
proclamation of the military who would call elections which installed Erdogan
removed, would rise a new pro-American stooge .
But the failure besides retaliation
limitless being watched across the country, seems to feed a disruptive current
in the Turkish Armed Forces, according to several Russian reports, they are
deserting to escape reprisals and purges the regime has begun to implement on
every house and every department of the state.
One of the clearest cases being
seen in the Turkish navy, which after the attempted coup whereabouts Commander
in Chief Veysel Kosele is unknown and it has been reported that a fleet of
fourteen warships have fled their ports to water international ostensibly
intended to seek refuge in Greece.
Not only that, they have also been reported
by some intelligence sources that Turkish agents at MIT who were advising the
mercenary groups in Aleppo, left the Syrian city a few hours after the coup
have begun, without being constrained to where they went.
The situation has been exploited by Erdogan
to try to reinstate the death penalty had been abolished in 1984 and with the
excuse to nip future attempts, try to make what many well suppose, a
political-ideological cleansing retroactive effect, which rolled back to Turkey
at the time of the impalement, slow death and suffering that was given to traitors.
With this background, the situation of
Erdogan and his government can come dangerously close to that of a despot
uncontrolled who, with apparent new support in Moscow, will seek to implement
these plans under a discretion that has ceased to be discreet and product thus,
the same Vladimir Putin has made clear that it must respect human rights and
not go beyond what the law allows.
No doubt that Erdogan feels hurt in his
pride for having proved that Washington has wanted to throw it away, as has
often been done with other puppets in the region and appears to retaliate with
their own citizens for the consequences of those games dirty whom he played so
well until recently; not forget that the Turkish president under the auspices
of the White House, and continues do what- violated international law and all
of the mandatory UN Charter with its aggressive interference in Syria and Iraq
even daring to shoot down a plane Russian Federation which marked the beginning
of the end.
There are many signs and many indications
that the Turkish military were seduced by Washington since, in addition to
participation both have within NATO, there is historically a very close
relationship between the Pentagon and the Turkish armed forces and also very
oily relations collaboration in the field of intelligence.
