Turkish Military and Party Leaders: Erdogan Government Turned Turkey into Base for Terrorism
Apr 24, 2012
​

Former Commander of Turkish Naval Academy, Admiral Turker Erturk , said the government of the Justice and Development Party (JDP) has given up to imperialism in every sense of the word and turned Turley into a base for terrorism.

The retired Admiral considered in a press article that security and stability in Syria and the success of its reform program are contingent on the Western countries abandoning their schemes to bring the downfall of the Syrian state, adding that the talk about supporting the plan of the UN envoy to Syria, Kofi Annan, without quitting these schems is considered "misleading of the public opinion".

Adm. Erturk criticized the meeting recently held by the US, France, Turkey and some of the Gulf states in Paris on Syria and these countries' efforts to impose new sanctions on Syria, lashing out at the pressures practiced by the US on Ankara to join the French leadership in case of possible direct military intervention in Syria in the pattern of what happened in Libya.

He pointed out visits made once in a while by a number of U.S. officials to the Syrian-Turkish borders to monitor the situation there.

The former Turkish Commander warned of the gravity of the U.S. schemes in the region that are aimed at "breaking the strong anti-U.S. policy alliance between Syria and Iran".

He said that during the past stage the US pushed the JDP to improve relations with Syria with the aim of distancing Syria away from Iran.

He added that when Washington failed to damage the Syrian-Iranian relations at the hands of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, as Syria sought to improve its economic and political relations with Turkey but has not abandoned its vital relationship with Iran, the US had to follow an alternative plan based on changing the Syrian regime through creating chaos that leads to dividing the country and working for a Libya-style military intervention using a regional tool to undermine the Syrian government.

Adm. Erturk stressed the Turkish armed forces' rejection of any military intervention in Syria as it is unjustified and dissatisfaction with allowing the importing of terrorism into Syria and using the Turkish territories to wage attacks against Syria by the JDP government.

For his part, Deputy Head of Turkish Labor Party, Mehmet Bedri Gultekin, described the JDP government's foreign policy as "shameful" and "embarrassing" as it brings grave consequences to the Turkish state due to the hostile approach followed towards the neighboring countries.

In a article published on the Turkish Ulusalbakis website, Gultekin said Erdogan government's policy has brought damage to Turkey's Relations with the neighboring countries when the JDP leaders have unhesitantly rushed to interfere in the affairs of Libya and Syria believing they are in front of a historic chance to play their role in the framework of the US schemes in the region.

Gultekin criticized the Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu's attempts at imploring the NATO intervention in Syria, saying this bid came after the failure of the terrorists hosted in the Turkish camps on the borders with Syria and backed by Erdogan to hold sway over the border region as planned before.

"At the end of the day, the Turkish people will have to face the dire results of the JDP government's policy to limit these results and consequences caused by this hostile policy towards the neighboring countries," said Gultekin.

Turkish Resigned official: Erdogan a Tool which carries out projects of superpowers

​

Leader of "Turkey Party" Abdullatif Sener said that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyib Erdogan has shifted into a tool to carry out the project of the Greater Middle East, adding "World Superpowers will abandon him after he executes his mission."

Sener has resigned from his post as a deputy Prime Minister at Erdogan's Government in July 2008.

"The Turkish Government which had built consolidated relations with Syria started to organize a group calling itself a Syrian opposition.. it shifted Turkey into a provocative state that instigates terrorist acts in Syria," Sener said in an interview with "24 A" website broadcast Monday.

He considered the current events in Syria as a conflict between armed terrorist groups, trained in the camps set up in Turkey, and the Syrian official forces along with the millions which support President Bashar al-Assad.

He mocked at Erdogan who calls on Syria to apply democratic reforms while he tries to eradicate the democratic criterion in Turkey, freedom of media and silence the voice of the civil society.

The presence of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) has dramatically increased in Syria's restive northern provinces as the group looks to build ties with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and capitalize on the chaos that has gripped Syria for nearly a year.
Local sources indicated to Today's Zaman on Thursday that a 150-person PKK camp has been established in the Ra's al-'Ayn district of Syria, a border province that sits across the border from the southeastern Turkish province of Şanlıurfa.

Reports from the northern district of Afrin, which includes the second-most populous Syrian city, Aleppo, suggested on Thursday that the PKK had begun to set up roadblocks and monitor traffic along rural roads in the province.

The reports come amid predictions in recent months that an alliance between the embattled Syrian president and the terrorist group would form in response to Turkey's growing support for Syria's anti-regime movement. In a Today's Zaman column last week, Ali Othman of the Turkish-Kurdish Studies Center in Iraq predicted that the PKK was working to “repair its old alliance with the Syrian regime” given the group's fear of growing Turkish influence among Syria's political opposition and worries over a possible Turkish intervention in Syria.

PKK plans to operate out of Syria have been given added urgency, stated Othman, given the intense pressure that Turkish military strikes and increased cooperation between Ankara and Iraqi Kurdistan has put on PKK operations in northern Iraq, the current base of the terrorist group's operations.

The Syrian government warned in October that it would support the PKK if it perceived that Turkey were supporting the Syrian opposition, with Assad stating that Turkey's “hostility will backfire” and that “Turkey could fall into a state similar to ours” if it opposes Damascus.

Yet while Ankara has dismissed Assad's thinly veiled threat of facilitating internal conflict in Turkey, it has had little say over a developing alliance between the Syrian regime and the PKK or the two groups' increasing attacks against anti-regime Kurdish political leaders in northern Syria.

On Feb. 10, the body of abducted Syrian Kurdish politician Sherzad Hac Reshid was found near the northern Syrian city of Allepo, the latest in a long list of opposition Syrian Kurdish politicians who have been murdered in recent months.

Twenty-four-year-old Reshid, the director of the Kurdish Syrian Democratic Union Party (PYD) was abducted on Feb. 9 as he made his way from Allepo's al-Amal hospital to the city's PYD headquarters. His body was found the next day, and although his abductors have not yet been identified, friends of Reshid told Today's Zaman on Thursday that the assassination was likely the work of Syrian security forces.

The perpetrators behind the attack nevertheless remain unknown, as Reshid in recent months had become an outspoken member of the PYD, the political extension of the PKK within Syria, and had on a personal Internet site and in numerous demonstrations demanded that Syria's Kurds back the nationwide anti-Assad movement.

Such views were contrary to the political agenda of the PYD, which has remained firmly pro-Assad and is member of the National Coordination Committee (NCC), an umbrella of political groups within Syria which has demanded government reforms but called for dialogue with, rather than the ouster of, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Resid's death was preceded on Feb. 8 with the near assassination of Abdullah Bedro, the chief of a Kurdish tribe in northern Iraq and an opponent of the Assad regime. The attack, in which Bedro's three sons were killed, is believed to have been carried out by Mahmut Muhammed, a known PKK operative.

In October of last year, respected Syrian Kurdish politician and rights activist Mashaal Tammo was killed at his home in Syria's northeastern city of Qamishli. Speaking to Today's Zaman on Wednesday, İbrahim Güçlü, a Kurdish politician and founder of the Rights and Freedoms Party (HAK-PAR), said that Tammo's murder may also have been orchestrated by the PKK. At the time of his killing, Tammo's death was largely attributed to Assad's security forces. Tammo was a member of the Syrian National Council (SNC), Syria's largest anti-Assad political group.

The PKK once had an extensive presence in Syria, operating training camps on the Syrian-Turkish border from the early 1980s to the late 1990s. The country hosted PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan for a number of years but ended its support for the PKK shortly after Öcalan's capture in 1999.

Turkey has uniformly condemned the Assad regime and the PKK in recent weeks, with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu saying during a Feb. 9 speech at George Washington University that both groups were "outdated regimes and structures" from the Cold War that will soon be a part of history.

^ thank you very much

You only repair something when its broken, and the PKK and Syria alliance is broken, thank you again.

This Erturk guy was denied of a promotion and forced to resign. His anger for the government is understandable.

Also, Abdullatif Sener thought he can form a party and get into parliament, things didn't quite work well for him as he failed to materialize his wishes in the election. His resignation in 2007 coincided with when there was a huge pressure towards to government by judiciary and army for AKP's nomination of Abdullah Gul, whose wife was wearing headscarf, because some circles saw him as unfit for secular republic's presidency.

In short, no one really cares about these people in Turkey.

 

[BronzePlaque]

Abdullatif Sener was expelled ( or left the party by his own choice-not clear here) from Justice and Development Party..Now he is leading an adverse party which has failed to participate in 2011 General Elections..He is opposing Erdogan`s policy on Syrian issue like the rest of the adversary parties..And the other guy is former General..You can see former Generals accusing Erdogan for treason on several television shows..
In conclusion; my 2 cents

[TrMhMt]

Nope. Pkk is a dog of your be loved Asad and i am pretty sure, He would never cut the ties whit it. After father Asad died, pkk fall 2. place. Now his son playing pkk card again. As i said 60% of militants are Syrian citizen. This is confirmed by German journalists while visiting Pkk camps in N.Iraq.

Bullsh!t, A couple weeks ago syria tried to send about 450 Pkk terrorist to Turkey throughout the refuge camps, You armed them with Strela for heaven sake. This is practicly declaring war to us so stop your crying. You will pay dearly for that mistake, With the FSA force under our control you better watch your back before messing with Turkey again.

no source....

The source in the article itself, if you read it you will know.

Now anyway, those who claim Syria is supporting PKK, bring me an official source at least from the Turkish government saying Syria is supporting PKK. TrMhMt brought a source saying PKK and Syria alliance was broken long time ago. There are obvious sources that Turkey is supporting terrorism and taking orders from EU and USA and allowing the F"S"A to operate terrorists bombings in Syria.
