The name being pushed for Erdoğan’s seat

It has been talked about for years; “Who will take over the AKP after Erdoğan?”

Once upon a time, the answer to this question was usually “Of course, Son-in-law Berat.”

His closest rival was the then-Minister of Interior, Süleyman Soylu.

AKP members wanted Berat Albayrak, while members of the MHP, the partner in the invisible coalition, wanted Süleyman Soylu.

The rivalry between them had become so obvious that the two would even shoulder-check each other in all sorts of places.

Then, both fell out of favor.

One ruined the economy; the other, public order… The country became overflowing with mafia bosses.

*

Hulusi Akar came to the fore this time… He had served as Chief of General Staff and Minister of National Defense.

He was serious.

But he was irritable.

He would react to everything.

Moreover, his oratory skills were not strong.

He, too, was pushed aside.

*

When he fell out of favor, the name of the new son-in-law was put on the market:

Selçuk Bayraktar.

He is called the “UAV and SİHA genius”…

He comes from an industrialist family known and loved in the conservative world. He understands technology, he understands aircraft, and thanks to his wife, he has also started to learn about foundation management…

He is a good kid, a nice kid, a smart kid, but that is all.

If these were enough to be head of state, tens of thousands of presidential candidates would have emerged from this country.

*

And then there is “My son Bilal,” of course…

You know, the one whose older brother Burak sells goods to Israel, while he himself organizes a 'Curse Israel' rally on the Galata Bridge; that is Bilal…

He also wants to be President. Actually, perhaps it is his right the most. Isn't that seat his father's property? Of course he wants it…

But he has no charisma, no merit, no eloquence, no oratory skills; these things don't happen just by doing archery and such.

Still, he is kept in “reserve,” just in case.

And… As I mentioned in the headline, it is now the turn of the name being nominated to replace Erdoğan as of today:

In recent days, especially the 'aktrolls' on social media have been pumping him up.

Former MİT Undersecretary, current Minister of Foreign Affairs Hakan Fidan…

I am sure you are seeing those posts too…

It turns out what a hero this friend is… What a great nationalist, what a noble Turanist he is…

Yesterday he finished off the PKK, ensured the indivisibility of the homeland with the operations he managed; and today he is writing epics at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs…

He is making the US and Israel clash heads, and he is twisting Russia around his finger.

He is teaching the whole world a lesson on “how to be a nationalist statesman.”

Granted; this friend is more “mysterious” than everyone mentioned… A black box…

I mean, not just Erdoğan’s and the state’s black box, but his own as well…

Not much is known about him.

Because he does not speak unless necessary.

When he does speak, he does not go into details.

He does not engage in demagoguery.

He does not give speeches.

He does not use bad language, he does not shout or yell.

But in my opinion, no matter how much the idealists or the 'aktrolls' tear themselves apart; that won't happen either!

He has an image that is too serious and too honest.

Whereas Erdoğan’s seat requires other “qualities.”

You will make people forget today what you said yesterday… You will ruin the country by saying “Nas” (divine decree) but then you will be able to turn 180 degrees… And while making this great turn, you will blame “CEHAPE” (CHP) as you do at every opportunity!

You will discard people easily. You will be able to be unfaithful to those who suffered for you.

You will look down on people. You will be arrogant.

You will act as if you created the world… You will make it look like you built airports you didn't build, opened universities you didn't open.

You will also throw mud easily… For this, you will be good at photomontage!

You will know how to tell stories well. You will be able to hide the truth while looking people straight in the eye…

When the time comes, you will be religious, when the time comes, nationalist, when the time comes, liberal… But at the same time, you will be able to both trample all kinds of nationalism under your feet and organize a joint rally with a separatist terrorist organization. Then you will blame CEHAPE again… In other words, you will be a bit of a trickster…

You will be Cengiz Construction at the same time, you will be Kalyon; you will know your business, that is…

You will make the nation reach a state where they “will suffer from poverty but will not realize they are suffering…”

And my dear, do these 'aktrolls' have nothing else to do; why are they looking for someone to replace Erdoğan while he is still alive?

What is it, he cannot be a candidate again according to the Constitution…

It will happen, it will happen, don't worry.

Just like it happened in the last election; it will happen again!

In fact, if necessary, it will happen three or five more times!

*

God forbid these searches for alternatives reach the ears of your 'Reis' (Chief); I won't get involved, mind you…

He will finish you all off!
