Turkish authorities are finishing off the army. More than a hundred officers accused of a coup 16-year-old

65

Turkey entered yesterday into a new stage in the struggle of the country's Islamist authorities with the army, which is considered the guarantor of the secular system. More than a hundred officers were brought to trial on charges of displacing the first government of Islamists in 1997, led by Nejmettin Erbakan, the predecessor and mentor of incumbent Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who had already initiated several demonstration trials of the military. The current one is intended to be another blow by the authorities on the ambitions of the generals.

Ankara's criminal court began yesterday a hearing on the "February 28 case." On this day in 1997, the military issued an ultimatum to the government of Necmettin Erbakan - the first Turkish Prime Minister of Islamist, the leader of the Welfare Party. The coup was called “postmodern” - unlike the previous ones, it was bloodless (the Erbakan government resigned, barely hearing the rumble of armored vehicles on the streets of Ankara), and no military dictatorship was established in the country.

However, the 1997 events of the year dealt a serious blow to the Turkish Islamists, who had to go underground. Erdogan himself, who served as mayor of Istanbul, was sentenced to several months in prison. The followers of Erbakan managed to regain their positions only five years later - in 2002, when Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party (AKP) won the elections by a large margin.

The prosecution brought the first accusations of involvement in the 1997 events of the year to the military last year, after 15 years after the coup itself. One of the main suspects in the case is the retired General Ismail Hakky Qaradaya, who served as Chief of the General Staff. He faces life imprisonment.

The current process is another stage in the struggle of the Islamist authorities of Turkey with the army. From the moment when the criminal court in Istanbul issued a harsh sentence 250 defendants, most of whom are military, less than a month. They were all accused of collaborating with the Ergenekon terrorist organization involved in the attempted coup in 2003 - shortly after the AKP came to power (see Kommersant of August 6). A year ago, the court sentenced to imprisonment from 13 to 20 years over 300 military, who were accused of preparing a series of terrorist attacks in order to destabilize the situation in the country - this case went into history as "Sledgehammer" (see "b" from 24 September 2012 of the year).

    The army is the backbone of the independence of any state, it is not surprising that Turkey is now engaged in such a ... war as Syria ... I do not think that the old generals would have fallen on the Alawites.

      Islamism is a serious threat to the development of Turkey. Ataturk back in the 20s of the last century banned wearing hijabs in state institutions and schools in Turkey. This was the first step to ensure that Turkey began to develop into a modern, strong state. If Erdogan wants to transfer back to donkeys and live like in Afghanistan, then he is very sorry, and most of all the Turkish people should regret ... Becoming the new Suleiman the Magnificent and the Sultan Mehmedov Erdogan is not destined to, no matter how he dreams about it ...

      For the uninitiated: the Turkish authorities do not finish off the army, the Turkish authorities are weaning some circles in the generals from the bad habit of changing governments at their own discretion. For decades, the generals themselves decided whether to let the government (which was elected by the people) work or not. That's why you have to decide it gently speaking misunderstanding in a radical way. May God grant that each government takes care of the army the way Turkey does. In recent years, a large-scale modernization of equipment has been carried out, modern armored vehicles, helicopters, and drones of national development are being prepared for release. The office there is a really respected and privileged "class".

      The leadership of the Turkish army needs to dismiss the fascist, sick-headed Islamic radical Erdogan and his government and abandon military operations against Syria and help militants. Today's Turkey, claiming to be a secular state, has now become a police state conducting repressions not only against the army command, but also against its people.

            Respected!!!
            Songs of Vysotsky V.S. are still relevant. Many people listen to them, sing and quote, for example Tokki. You personally, how have you distinguished yourself, what have you achieved in order to write about "mediocre verses"? Do you have better poetry, music, prose? Are you collecting halls, are you listening to millions in the country and abroad?

            Let me disagree with your express analysis of the personality and work of Vladimir Semenovich Vysotsky. Apparently complications after the "illness" affect, in addition, growing up after sobering up leaves an imprint. Sorry for the harshness. You can love or not love a person, in this case Vysotsky, but there are rules of politeness and, based on them, we address each other by name and patronymic. Watch the program "Field of Miracles", where the presenter addresses the crumbs of 4-5 years old by name, patronymic, thereby teaching both little ones and adults to be polite. You refused the right to be called by the name of the patronymic of Vysotsky. Unfortunately, in your life, you apparently have not met a teacher like Yakubovich. Regretfully.

    Erdogan begins to "cook" bad stew. There are strong neighbors on both sides (Syria is not up to it right now). The course towards Islamization is not supported by the people. His claims to leadership in the region are backed up only by the United States. Now they are not sweet, I hope it will be worse, and in the future Erdogan may find himself without an ally, but surrounded by unfriendly neighbors + Kurds. No matter how he "scalded" with this brew.

      But the fact that Erdogan is well done, this is the grandmother in two said ...
      On the one hand, yes. Let the officer corps be woolly. The Turkish army, if it does not lose from this, it certainly will not win ...
      But on the other hand, Erdogan curtsies in the direction of adherents of radical Islam. Reverence is small, but still very unambiguous. Moreover, this is significant against the background of the events around Syria ...
      And one more thing - the army is sometimes the only real force that interferes with the establishment of sole (dictatorial) rule ... However, time will tell where Erdogan-effendi is aiming at. Could it be for the role of the new Ata-Turk? ..

    We need Turkey. Syria should become the gateway to the transnational transport corridor, and its important part should pass through the territory of Turkey. And there are two options for laying such a corridor - the western and ours.
    In the west it passes through the ravaged land - ours, Turkish and Syrian. The well-fed faces of the Americans look with contempt from the convoy cars at the poor natives ... And our option is that we lay it on our land and the lands of our esteemed neighbors. After that we get profit together - we are from our sector, the Syrians and Turks from ours. And it will be.
    But how it will be, which option will win ... We need to work. I do not believe that we cannot achieve the scenario we need in Turkey.

    For the uninitiated
    Turkish generals never established a military dictatorship and did not make coups in the interests of people from their ranks. The military dismissed the parliament and announced the next election in the event of a crisis or in the case of attempts to come to power by idiots as its current prime minister and president, and the same military made a mistake, believing that the period of controlled democracy ended and Turkey formed as a secular democratic state.

    For information. If it weren’t for the army, Turkey wouldn’t have existed for a long time, if it hadn’t for the army for Erdogan and especially for the elections he could have won, Erdogan would have been illiterate in some village, without medicine and what either right, not at all aware that he is TURK. Only the army and its natives, natives of military families, starting with Kemal Atatürk, were able to make Turkey a relatively modern state, and elementary - to revive the Turkish language, in the end it is the first in the self-identification of the people.

      Dear Druid! I always treated your comments with great respect. It seems that we did not understand each other correctly. I am more than convinced that the army was and is the guarantor of the security and territorial integrity of Turkey. And this cannot be denied that the government of this country is doing everything to modernize and support the army. At the same time, I am convinced that this is not the case when for example 70% of the country's population chooses a government whose worldview distracts its aspirations, and some general thinks differently and overthrows him, thereby rudely spitting on the opinion of the majority of the people. Yours faithfully...

        Your logic is slim and flawless. As well as the characteristics of the place of the Turkish army in this state.

        However, are you sure that all 70% of the population who chose the Islamists really want to live in a society that the Islamists will build?
        Not excluded. that these generals / as befits strategists / see more and more of their compatriots.

    The title of the article is bullshit! The Turkish army is very strong and there is no "beating" and even more so "finishing off" is not and cannot be!
    And the fact that Erdogan is bringing the army men for a coup to the point is correct. In our country, for innocent words, honored officers make "a goat's face".
    The country is developing at a tremendous pace, and Erdogan's merit is great. Islam - how the natsideya works.

      Yes, you quit! There is nothing of the kind there.
      In the summer I was there in my car (it’s hard, but I looked a lot not only in big cities, but also in villages, towns in central Turkey). There is no Islamic fanaticism there, quite a secular country, no one falls prostrate after hearing the muezzin. The Turkish women are almost completely tattooed (what a Wahhabism !!!),
      But there is general patriotism, everything is plowed like hell, they have no roads — we don’t dream of it !!, walked 4500 km and didn’t even see a kilometer of an unsettled road, the mountains all gnawed !!!, housing construction is going on at such a pace that 5-7 more years and they will all live in luxury apartments. And it is ubiquitous !!!
      White envy and annoyance for their super-rich country.

    I don’t think that the majority of Turks will joyfully grow their beards, will be wrapped in burqa and Allah Akbar will scream around the clock. In any case, not the urban population. Erdogan makes the European version of his country with Islamic mats and in Europe and the normal world, the army is always subordinate to the head of state. And in Turkey it was like in Africa. So he corrects the bias, why does he need a reckless general? Walk and look around?

    Erdogan is not a radical. He is in the position of traditional Islam, Sharia mosque. Radicals in Turkey were never given a chance to develop, even an ordinary mosque was pressed. Approximately, as in the USSR, religion was crushed so much that there was no question of any radicalism. At the same time, the state did not allow churches and mosques to disappear; in this regard, there was some kind of unfinished policy. This was a definite plus, at least the state was engaged in religion. Now, for example, the authorities have no idea what to do with religion, and the radical weeds are twigs, obscuring what the authorities should cultivate.

    You do not find that this is already their personal-national internal affair, what will come of their choice? Western-style democracy is just a variant of state-public administration, not the fact that the same monarchy is worse. Does the army regulate the change of government? In itself, it does not contain anything bad in itself, if you do not look at it from the English parliament. Doesn't that suit the Turks now? It’s a business matter, let them try, and we, like the rest of the world, will see how this affects the effectiveness of public administration.

    If Erdogan wants to transfer back to donkeys and live like in Afghanistan,

    And Saudi Arabia, a 100% Islamic state, lives for itself, God forbid everyone, richly and peacefully. What about Pakistan? Manage to be a strong state in such a volcanic in the political sense of the environment. Turkey itself under such external conditions would have crumbled long ago, like Libya out of the blue. It is interesting that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, the most Islamic states, allies of the United States, perhaps the United States are attracted by their strength. And Islam does not stop them from getting their nishtyaki from partnership.
    And Malaysia, from the newly industrialized countries in terms that are currently obsolete? Sharia courts operate on a par with secular courts in the country. (That is, Turkey is far from Malaysia in the level of Islamization of the state system.) About 10-15 years ago, a Sharia court condemned the girl who converted from Islam to Christianity for 10 years in prison. The appeal in the constitutional court did not pass, although the constitution of the country is freedom of religion. We did not dare to political complications. But who would not want to live in a country as prosperous as Malaysia?

    Even today, Turkey, unlike Azerbaijan, cannot boast of a high level of universal education and literacy. So what do you propose to the "generals", or rather the educated part of the population, capable of not only controlling an ass, but also managing and maintaining the most complex equipment, indulging the "majority" living with medieval prejudices (I'm not talking about Islam)?
    I will give examples for ease of understanding:
    a) Imagine, you and I are in Papua New Guinea, so that we indulge the majority, too, to start eating the meat of enemies?
    b) Terrorists hijacked a plane with a hundred passengers; during the assault, up to a dozen can die. If you ask the relatives of the passengers or the passengers themselves, you will receive an answer - Fulfill any requirements of the terrorists, even if there is a threat to the life of only one passenger. So what to indulge in terrorists, save one guided by the opinion of the majority and in the future, to ditch hundreds and thousands?
    c) Austria, a European democratic country, as a result of, again, democratic elections, in the wake of primarily economic problems that angered the majority of the population, nationalists headed by Haider came to power, more than a dozen European countries immediately expressed their position, Israel recalled the ambassador from Vienna , Austria has found itself almost in isolation, so what to do here, respect the opinion of the "majority" of the Austrian population and get another Hitler of the local spill, or take drastic measures and nip this in the bud?

    Democracy is good, but it is not anarchy or the power of a raging or illiterate crowd. So, as before, I disagree with you and my opinion was that the generals acted correctly.
    We are all Muslims, and we all remember that with every breath we are closer to death, and the world is closer to achiryat (Judgment Day) every day, Islamic values ​​can and should be realized in the family, society, but fall under the power of those who decide that he more Muslim than you are already a sin, as well as indulge those who, out of religion and purity, will make a screen behind which there will be all the same nomenclature.
    An example is neighboring Iran, an Islamic republic, judging by the name and legal proceedings, since they apply the Sharia norms, in which the narrow-minded see only throwing stones, chopping off hands, and beating with sticks. On the one hand, they talk about an Islamic state, in fact they are realizing Persian chauvinism and nationalism. There is a second large nation, but there is no second state language, which would be fair, if you do not want two languages, ok`, then let's be fair - let everyone speak the language in which the Almighty sent down the Koran and said the Prophet (A.S.) that received in response - the division of southern Azerbaijan into a larger number of provinces. That drugs are not rushing from there, or in Afghanistan the Taliban burned drug plantations and executed drug dealers?
    We are all ITALY MUSLIM, who is to judge whom, but not to any parties and forces that implement a particular strategy, and not the values ​​of Islam.

    This is already Islamophobia. Or one can only say so from the standpoint of the ideology of a purely "secular" atheistic state. The West imposes "secularism" on the whole world, in fact, remains quite religious. In Germany, a tax is levied on the maintenance of churches: from Catholics to Catholic churches, from Protestants to Protestant, from atheists, respectively, is not levied. The Pope has a renowned political influence. Politicians can never separate from the church. And we naively accept the principle of separation of church from state on faith. In Pakistan, the state system has not always been as Islamized as it is now. So what? They only got stronger.

    For Turkey, Islam alone cannot be anything radical. The struggle of secularists and Islamists is a constant motive for the political life of Turkey in the 20th century. At the beginning of the 20th century, the same Atatürk was quite a radical. His reforms were truly radical. Recently, radicals have been identified with extremists. Before, radicalism was considered a completely legal political direction. What Gorbachev did, for example, are not radical reforms? The political life of Turkey has always been stormy permanently, constant movements in a wide range.

    I am also a Muslim Shiite, no one has called me to like this and the first time I hear from you about this, you will need to ask the Pakistanis at the meeting next time. Although, what they say in Pakistan, Iran or Saudi Arabia on this matter is frankly indifferent to me, it is more important that there is more good when all my affairs are put on the scales.
    Digressing from the topic. Prophet Muhammad (A.S.), whose coming was predicted by Isa (A.S.) or as his mother and those around him called Isau (-Messiah), or as it came to you in the Greek version by Jesus (-Christ), and so Muhammad said that after his death: "The Jews were divided into 71 groups and the Christians were divided into 72 groups, and my Ummah (Community) will be divided into 73 groups."
    I personally cannot argue that the trends of Shiism are close to the truth or the trends or madhhabs in Sunnism - the mission of the Prophet is to abandon polytheism and paganism in favor of faith in the One Lord, and leave the Koran to its contemporaries and future generations, which is essentially the direct speech of the Almighty and under His protection from fraud and change. The Qur'an is the foundation of Islam, and how strong or shaky and curved walls a person builds on this foundation depends on himself and his qualities. On Judgment Day, everyone will be responsible only for himself and references to someone to justify his sins will not be accepted if a person knew the truth or exhorted it.
