Even if what you're saying is true, what are you going to do with it? Are we going to leave the field open to people like Ekrem İmamoğlu?
This country has 80-90 million people. Even if we were to gather all the Turkish citizens who attend this forum, you wouldn't have the weight of a chickpea in the whole of this country. Out of 80 million people, the opinions of 10,000 people (even if everyone agreed with you, which they don't) are insignificant. So you can laugh until you burst. But don't think you'll get anywhere with that.
Let Ekrem İmamoğlu enter the election as Erdoğan's rival and be defeated. Of course you can't afford it.
We gave Istanbul to Ekrem. Look at the state of Istanbul. If giving the country to Ekrem will make it even worse than it is today, then why should we be governed like Mozambique for years just to put up with the whims of a handful of opposition figures? I don't understand that.
I could tell you right now who is who, but then I’d be breaking the law. What I can tell you is that the Turkish state has a great deal of patience. Just keep watching. There are simply too many of them, but everyone’s turn will come. That’s for sure.
Ekremoglu is not who you think he is.
He made himself available and was very generously rewarded. He functions as a highly skilled operative—which is exactly what he was intended to be—and he does it very skillfully.
The English have really hit the jackpot with him.
If you want to understand that, ask yourselves: Why did Aksener return to the table she had left?
The General Staff Electronic Systems Command (GES) was Türkiye's highest-capacity electronic intelligence and signal interception unit. Established during the Cold War, the unit was transferred to the National Intelligence Organization (MİT) in 2012 and is now known as the Signal Intelligence Directorate (SİB).
Mr. Hakan Fidan refers to it as the "intelligence village."
During a period of heightened tension with FETÖ, GES's electronic intelligence capabilities were consolidated under a single authority/for security purposes and transferred to MİT. This was perhaps one of the most significant reforms Mr. Fidan implemented while heading MİT.
GES was attached to MİT on January 1, 2012, and on May 15, 2012, it adopted its new name, the "Signal Intelligence Directorate."
Immediately after the transfer of GES to MİT, FETÖ triggered what we call the MİT Crisis of February 7th, targeting Mr. Fidan. He openly targeted Fidan.
CHP's Umut Oran, regarding the General Staff Intelligence Directorate (GES), which was placed under the National Intelligence Organization (MİT) that same year to eliminate the FETÖ threat, said, "They are delaying intelligence for the Turkish Armed Forces; the number of martyrs increased after GES was placed under MİT."
It's clear who is this close to FETÖ. The issue was supposedly the Ergenekon trials. But while the Ergenekon trials were ongoing, the CHP was acting as FETÖ's henchman, "on instructions received."
