What HDP is for the liberal PKK supporters voters HUDA PAR is the same for the conservative Kurds supporting an independent Kurdistan ruled by Sharia law. While different in ideology the ultimate goal is the same. The abolishment of the constitutional order of Turkiye on the base of the views of our leader Mustafa Kemal ATATURK and the creation of Kurdish autonomous region.
HUDA PAR is only a part of the problem with growing influence of organizations dangerous to the secular nature of the country and we have more individuals and organizations adopting a radical Islamist ideology, freely roaming in the country, doing business, carrying the potential to form paramilitary cells if the need arises, working hard on propaganda.
These people are connected to various terror cells both in Europe but also in the Middle East and some of them are included in international terror lists being connected to Al-Qaeda, including people who served sentences as the "Leader of Wilayah Turkiye" of the IS. Turkiye is one of the places where Al-Qaeda and IS are moving in a coordinated way and it is mind blowing how people like these are given green light to operate the way they want without any limitation. The national security must not fall victim of calculations based on tactical successes. If it continues in the same way it does I would certainly suspect a different agenda... The leash of these dogs must be tightened or they must accept their fate.
Let's talk a bit about IHH's attack on the Incirlik base on the 5th of November. In result of these unfortunate events there were stoning, escalation and more. This is not an innocent demonstration as some try to portray.
1 week before the events on the 5th of November, Bulent Yildirim the head of IHH (Human Freedom and Rights, Humanitarian Help Foundation) called for a demonstration against the Incirlik airbase that is hosting US forces in a move to try and stop the Israeli operation in Gaza. This comes after a speech of Hulusi Akar the ex MoND and current Defence Commission Chairman regarding the FULL AUTHORITY OF TURKIYE REGARDING THE INCIRLIK AIRBASE in the National Assembly. Despite this clear speech and the fact that Incirlik is under Turkish authority, Bulent Yildirim organized an event to attack the airbase showing it as a US airbase.
Lets return to 2010. Bulent Yildirim is the provoker behind the Mavi Marmara events. He organized a humanitarian help package, sent it to Gaza and in result the IDF intervened, boarded the vessel and 10 people were killed.
Let's see how President Erdogan talked to Bulent Yildirim in 2016.
President Erdogan:
"Did you even ask the Prime Minister regarding the issue of sending humanitarian help? We are already giving the required assistance to Gaza and Palestine. But while we are giving assistance we are not doing it as a demonstration of power but we always did it and we are doing it within the international diplomacy"
Bulent Yildirim disregarded all the warnings of President Erdogan and decided to shape the Turkish foreign affairs according to his liking once again. Bulen Yildirim is moving against the directives of President Erdogan! The normal citizen would ask himself "How are you not listening to the President? Who are you to not listen?".
We can not accept this demonstration as "innocent protest" while we are dealing with a man who doesn't respect the directives of President Erdogan and has the blood of 10 people on his hands due to his previous actions.
Let's look at what Hulusi Akar is saying about Incirlik:
"Sometimes we are asked 'why don't you evacuate Incirlik?' "What will happen if we evacuate? Then you will criticize, 'why did the American bases go to Greece, Dedeağaç, Crete?' "In addition, we have relations and agreements with the USA.
Incirlik is a place that is completely owned by the Republic of Turkey. The flag of the Turkish state flies there. All activities are carried out under the orders and knowledge of the base commander. The commander of Incirlik Base is also a Turkish officer. Also "We also have soldiers in foreign countries within the framework of international agreements."
Many of us are on the opinion that the US operations at the Incirlik airbase must be limited and even right of usage must be at least temporarily blocked but this is a decision that must be taken by the State authorities and not by the head of a humanitarian foundation!
Let's look at the event again. What happened at the event? During the event that was at least formally organized by IHH, the flags of Hizb ut-Tahrir organizations were seen.
Hizb ut-Tahrir is a is an international pan-Islamist and Islamic fundamentalist political organization whose stated aim is the re-establishment of the Islamic caliphate to unite the Muslim Ummah and implement Sharia globally. Hizb ut-Tahrir is accepted as a terrorist organization in Turkiye and is known to be a center for recruitment for Al-Qaeda and other such organizations.
IHH must explain what is its relationship with the Hizb ut-Tahrir terrorist organization!
Many of us know what NGOs, foundations like IHH actually are. We know very well what kind of organizations they are and how they operate. Turkiye has fallen many times in the trap of humanitarian aid organizations in many conflict zones around the world and the State's support was misused by these organizations many times. Such humanitarian aid organizations are very important in this way and we must know very well if these organizations are acting under the directives of the Republic of Turkiye or they are using the Republic of Turkiye's support for their own agendas! This is why the relationship between IHH and Hizb ut-Tahrir must be deeply investigated and clear answers must be given.
The perimeter security of the Incirlik airbase is the responsibility of the Turkish security forces. Turkish soldiers, Gendarmerie and Police are ensuring the safety of everybody inside this base. Who are you to throw rocks and to attack the Turkish security forces?!?! Who are you to damage the property of the State?!?! Who are you to prevent the Turkish soldier from performing his duty?!?! This is unacceptable!
Did the Adana Governor gave a green light to this attack? If so he did a grave mistake! President Erdogan must ask this question. If the Governor didn't allow this event then it is a totally different story.
We must not see this event as innocent and we should be aware of the situation.
These are testing events!
1. How big of a crowd we can gather when we need them?
2. What is the level of support we practically receive
3. What is the stance of the security forces regarding this event? They support us or they are against us?
These are only testing events. They are in preparations for even bigger ones.
The foreign politics of the State are not the job of IHH or Bulent Yildirim. Solely the State is taking this decision! IHH must restrain and focus on humanitarian aid instead of shaping the State's politics.
We hope that the ones who dare to raise a hand to the Turkish soldier and policeman, the ones who dare to damage the property of the State will be punished. We hope that IHH will be investigated and the needed steps will be taken towards prevention of such future provocations.
