Is Turkey aware of the threat?..

Jimmy Carter, who served as US president between 1977 and 1981, described Iran in December 1977 as “an island of stability in a turbulent sea.” In a report submitted to the White House by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in August 1978, it was written that there was no possibility of a revolution in Iran. However, street protests began within a few weeks. The Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, left the country in January 1979 and went to Egypt.

Ayatollah Khomeini, who was in exile in Paris, returned to Iran on February 1, 1979. There seemed to be no one within the CIA who considered it possible that an elderly mullah could seize power and transform Iran into an Islamic Republic. (1)

Some astute government officials and especially businessmen, sensing that Khomeini would take over the administration, had first transferred their wealth abroad and then fled themselves. As for those who could not escape, hundreds of people, including former prime ministers, ministers, generals, and high-level bureaucrats, were executed by firing squad on the roofs of buildings over the course of weeks and months. Photographs of these individuals' bodies lying on the ground in blood were displayed in newspapers for days. The revolution was ruthless, and the photographs were gruesome. (2) By 1979, the US had become “the Devil and the Enemy” for Iran. The US's greatest loss in the Middle East was Iran.

Twenty-two years after 1979, in September 2001, the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) was working on a document ordering the dismantling of seven countries. A document describing the fragmentation of seven countries, starting with Iraq, continuing with Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, and Sudan, and ending with Iran... Six countries have been fragmented and dismantled... The seventh country is Iran... The US is following the sequence; it is Iran's turn... Then, it is Turkey's turn...

The US and Israel have conducted rehearsals several times to change Iran's political regime. However, they have not been successful. In September 2022, the largest protest movements began in Iran. The protests, which started after 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who was taken into custody by the “morality police” in Tehran on September 13, 2022, fell into a coma and died in the hospital on September 16, 2022, continued for days in many Iranian cities. The US wanted to turn these protests into an opportunity but did not achieve results.

And on October 7, 2023, HAMAS launched a comprehensive attack on Israel. This attack was the necessary signal flare for the US to change the Middle East and dismantle Iran. The October 7, 2023, HAMAS attack is the Middle East's 9/11.

After Israel occupies southern Lebanon, it will occupy southern Syria. Then Iran... After Iran, the next country is Turkey...

Following the November 5, 2024, US Presidential election, the target is now Iran. However, if Iran launches a more violent attack, Israel may engage in war with Iran before the election. The US, UK, France, and Germany will participate in active attacks alongside Israel. Protests, street movements, and terrorist acts will be initiated in Iran.

In other words, the footsteps of the expected major conflict in the Middle East have begun to be heard... And Turkey will remain under the threat of terrorist organizations that are proxies of the US, such as the PKK/YPG and ISIS/Al-Qaeda derivatives. This is precisely why the US and the West have turned Turkey into a country of immigrants...

The British, aiming to establish a Kurdistan with British support, tasked British Intelligence Officer Major Edward William Charles Noel (1886-1940). Major Noel wrote a report in mid-1919 and drew a map of Kurdistan. In Noel's Kurdistan map; Hatay, Kahramanmaraş, Sivas, Erzincan, Erzurum, Kars, and the south are included as “Greater Kurdistan.” The 1919 British Major Noel map, the 1920 Treaty of Sèvres map, the 2003 US Greater Middle East Project map, the 2006 US colonel's map in the US Armed Forces Journal, the so-called map of the PKK terrorist organization, the 2017 Northern Iraq Independence Referendum map, and the POPE STAMP map printed in 2021 to commemorate the Pope's visit to Erbil... These maps are consistent with each other and are almost identical.

Turkey is very comfortable. There is not a single step taken regarding sending back asylum seekers/immigrants. The oath of the lieutenants and the New Constitution are much more important!.. Turkey has lost its normalcy. The normal has become a threat; the threat has become normal. The stones have been laid for the Greater Middle East Project. Syria has been fragmented. A PKK/PYD terrorist organization statelet has been established in Syria. Syria's Idlib, which has a 130 km border with Hatay and is where Al-Qaeda-ISIS terrorist organizations are nested, has been turned into a Little Afghanistan. And Turkey is in the position of being the country hosting the most immigrants in the world. But the lieutenants and the New Constitution are much more important...

If Israel's next target is Turkey, a step must be taken against this threat. The Kürecik Base, which is an early warning radar that provides information to NATO and, through the US and other NATO countries, to Israel, must be closed. It is not logical for a radar stationed in Turkey to transfer information to a country that is a threat to Turkey.

The Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) will convene on October 8, 2024, regarding the Israeli threat. The following questions should be asked from the podium:

- When the US invaded Iraq in 2003 and dismantled Syria and Libya in 2011, it was clear that cooperating with the US would pave the way for Israel. Why was there cooperation with the US?

- If Israel is a threat to Turkey in terms of the “Promised Land” project, why are asylum seekers/immigrants located so densely in the targeted region? Why were the asylum seekers not sent back to their countries?

- If Israel is a threat to Turkey, why was there no cooperation with Syria to prevent it from occupying Syria and uniting with the PKK/PYD terrorist organization?

- If Israel is a threat to Turkey, why was the asylum seeker/immigrant policy, which has become a matter of national survival (BEKA), not changed? Furthermore, why was visa-free entry granted to Iraqis under 15 and over 50 years of age?

- Why was the Kürecik Radar, which provides information to NATO countries and indirectly to Israel, not closed?

- Does not the failure to take measures on these issues increase the threat and make Turkey a sensitive target?

A Turkey that drifts away from Atatürk will never see better days. Remove Atatürk from Turkey, and what remains is a geography where pain and tears never cease...
