Hakan Fidan is on a roll these days; I swear balls of steel!
Wonder why is he so active though? Did Erdo give him the green light to do whatever he wants?

The Russian intelligence from GRU, FSB and SVR are all very active in Turkey. This is not something new actually. Usually we have at least 2 cases like this a year in the last couple of years as MIT is more active and is undergoing transformation in the ways it operates. There are changes in capability and manpower both in counter-intelligence but also in intelligence on foreign soil. As I said before MIT is changing its concept to a more proactive approach just as our martyr Hiram Abbas wanted. The Russian intelligence have deep roots in Turkey both as infiltrated agents within the security services but also in the political life of Turkey.

In the case with Iran it is triggered by the recent tensions and the actions of Iran trying to use a captured dissident as a message to Turkey.

He was one of the people who helped the most in the neutralization of the ASALA terrorist organization in the past. He also worked closely with the Israeli intelligence and tried to bring the Israeli proactive approach to MIT and he partly succeeded. After his martyrdom MIT was not the same. I principally don't like MIT for one reason. MIT is an organization that gave almost unlimited power to people who served their own interests first instead the interests of the State.

It seems that the current path that MIT is taking is quite good
Just hope Hakan Fidan continue to provide such excellence in his work
