The words that led to the decision to dismiss the lieutenants were also spoken by the Maroon Berets: Minister of National Defense Yaşar Güler applauded
Journalist and 12punto columnist Müyesser Yıldız shared a striking detail regarding the lieutenants facing dismissal over their oath with swords. Recalling that the oath for which the lieutenants are being threatened with dismissal was recited just a few days prior during the August graduation ceremony of the Maroon Berets, Yıldız asked, "Will Minister Yaşar Güler and the Chief of General Staff, who authorized and applauded this, also be referred to the High Disciplinary Board?"
Turkey is debating the situation of a lieutenant who graduated first in his class from the Military Academy and is now facing dismissal due to the 'oath with swords' he took. While it is being discussed that dismissal is being sought for two of the lieutenants who faced such a situation because they said, 'We are the soldiers of Mustafa Kemal,' a striking reminder came from journalist and 12punto columnist Müyesser Yıldız.
Pointing out that the exact same oath for which the lieutenants are now facing dismissal was recited during the Maroon Berets' graduation ceremony held on August 16, 2024, Yıldız also noted that Minister of National Defense Yaşar Güler and Chief of General Staff General Metin Gürak, who were present there, applauded these words.
Here is that post by Müyesser Yıldız:
Date; August 16, 2024...
Location; Special Forces Command...
Event; Maroon Berets' graduation ceremony...
Guests; Minister of National Defense Yaşar Güler and Chief of General Staff General Metin Gürak...
Indeed, photos of this ceremony on August 16 and the speech delivered by Minister Yaşar Güler were also shared on the Ministry of National Defense's website and social media accounts.
What makes the ceremony significant is this:
In the official part of the ceremony, the class valedictorian, in the presence of the protocol, recited—based on the footage we were able to obtain—this final part of the Officer's Oath, which is now being used as the reason for the lieutenants' dismissal from the TSK on the grounds that "it was removed from the regulations":
"We are the children of the Turkish future. We were born with honor, we will live with honor, and we will die with honor. May our existence be sacrificed to the Turkish existence."
Minister Yaşar Güler and Chief of General Staff General Metin Gürak also applauded.
Our questions to those preparing to dismiss the lieutenants are as follows:
Who authorized the recitation of the oath, which is emphasized as having been "removed from the regulations," especially at an official ceremony?!
Will Minister Yaşar Güler and the Chief of General Staff, who authorized and applauded this, also be referred to the High Disciplinary Board?!
Was this ceremony not made the subject of an investigation because the Maroon Berets, even though they recited the Officer's Oath, did not cross their swords and say, "We are the soldiers of Mustafa Kemal"?!
Tarih; 16 Ağustos 2024...
