28 February Postmodern Coup<\/span><\/p>\n In the early 90s, the CIA-NATO gang convinced the Laicistic-Secular segment in Turkey that it was time to \u201cban all symbols that evoke Islam and stop Muslims from taking part in public offices\u201d in the public opinion, as part of the Moderate Islam Project.<\/strong>[i]<\/sup><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Thus, they would hit two birds with one stone;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n While the postmodern coup, briefly known as 28 February, caused serious traumas to the religious people, it did not take long for the Laicistic-Secular people to wake up from the euphoria of victory. They started to be evicted from the Turkish Armed Forces by FETO with trials such as Sledgehammer and Ergenekon. In other words, the snake they had grown started to bite them too.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The Laicistic-Secular community, which has always been hostile to religion and religious people, has never been able to realize that the religious people, who constitute the majority of the citizens of the Republic of Turkey, do not have enmity towards them.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n [i]<\/sup><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>http:\/\/fetogercekleri.com\/ust-akil\/<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ‘Postmodern Coup’ Did not Go Unpunished<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The perpetrators of the 28 February period, known as the “postmodern coup” in Turkish political history and then brought about the resignation of the Prime Minister Erbakan, did not go unpunished as a result of the trials held by independent courts.[i]<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n The Ankara 5th High Criminal Court, which tried and convicted the “postmodern coup-plotters”, announced the justified decision of the case on July 3, 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n In the decision, \u201cit is understood that some of the defendants had previously secretly conspired to carry out the act of forcibly dismissing the government or forcibly preventing it from serving in the incident at issue.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n FETO and Terror<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The Republic of Turkey could not stop to be a third world country until it got rid of the CIA-NATO-controlled FETO, which constantly leaked intelligence from the interior to out, manipulated state institutions, made mistakes in foreign policy and humiliated the country in the international arena. It was not easy to clear the parallel structure established and secretly organized by FETO, of which betrayal was understood in the period after the 2000s, from the institutions of the state.<\/span><\/p>\n FET\u00d6 has worked closely with PKK\/KCK-PYD\/YPG and DHKP-C terrorist organizations established and used by the CIA.<\/span><\/a>[ii]<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Until the 15th of July, after the failed coup attempt, while a large part of the Parallel Structure was cleared, some of them were still camouflaged and making moves in critical periods of time.<\/span><\/a>[iii]<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n FETO Failed Coup Attempt Cases<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Of the 289 cases filed regarding the failed coup attempt on July 15, 2016, 265 were decided by court committees, while the trial of the defendants continues in 24.<\/span><\/a>[iv]<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n After FETO coup attempt, more than 100,000 investigations were carried out by the public prosecutors’ offices.<\/span><\/p>\n After the completion of the investigations, 265 of the 289 cases filed to bring the coup-plotters before the judge have been concluded so far.<\/span><\/p>\n In the cases that ended, 3664 defendants were sentenced, of which 2260 were sentenced to life imprisonment.<\/span><\/p>\n In the cases whose trials were completed, 1206 defendants were sentenced to aggravated life imprisonment. Of the defendants, 17 were sentenced to life imprisonment 141 times and 1 to life imprisonment 140 times. The courts, which gave aggravated life imprisonment for 1 defendant 137 times, sentenced 31 defendants 4 times, 4 defendants 3 times, 2 defendants 28 times to aggravated life imprisonment.<\/span><\/p>\n Among those sentenced to aggravated life imprisonment were former 71 generals, 813 officers, 172 non-commissioned officers, 49 specialist sergeants and 4 police officers.<\/span><\/p>\n The courts, which sentenced 1054 of the defendants to life imprisonment, including 20 former generals, 396 officers and 117 non-commissioned officers, sentenced 1404 people to prison sentences ranging from 1 year and 2 months to 20 years.<\/span><\/p>\n Court committees decided to acquit 2609 defendants in the completed cases. In 24 of the cases, the trials are still ongoing.<\/span><\/p>\n What has changed in the Fight Against Terrorism after July 15?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The failed coup attempt on July 15, organized by members of the Fetullahist Terrorist Organization (FETO), was suppressed as a result of the courage and determination of the Turkish people. After the coup attempt, important developments took place in the fight against terrorism. Terrorist organizations got heavy damage with the Euphrates Shield, Operation Olive Branch and Operation Peace Spring.<\/span><\/a>[v]<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n After the failed coup attempt of July 15, 2016, Turkish security institutions faced a series of security challenges. Among these difficulties, there are terrorist organizations that test the combat readiness of the Turkish security forces. The main security institution which fights against terrorism interior and outside of Turkey is the Turkish Armed Forces. For this reason, the combat readiness of Turkish Armed Forces was questioned as 44 percent of the generals and admirals who took part in the coup attempt were discharged from the army right after the coup attempt. It is a frequently expressed claim that the discharge of many FETO members from the army will have a negative impact on the combat power of the TAF.\u00a0Contrary to expectations, Turkish security forces have been fighting against PKK and DAESH elements more effectively since August 2016, and they were even able to organize a large-scale cross-border operation in northern Syria.<\/strong><\/span><\/a>[vi]<\/sup><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n The efficiency of operations can be attributed to two factors:<\/span><\/p>\n Although there is frequent rotation in units actively fighting terrorism due to discharges, it can be stated that operational continuity is maintained.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The terrorist organization PKK has been killing innocents for 35 years.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The separatist organization, which continued its massacres targeting people under the name PKK\/KCK in Turkey and Iraq, YPG\/PYD in Syria and PJAK in Iran, was trying to change the demographic structure by forcing people to migrate in the occupied areas.<\/span><\/a>[vii]<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n After the elimination of preventive activities of FETO from the security forces, the three successful cross-border operations carried out since 2016, Euphrates Shield, Olive Branch, and Peace Spring operations and structures such as the Terrorist organizations PKK and DAESH, which are the mercenary companies used by international forces to redesign the Middle East region, have also been destroyed.<\/span><\/p>\n Turkey can operate on more than one front!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Today, after the restructuring of the security forces, the Republic of Turkey has taken all kinds of security measures within its borders, but it has now evolved from being a Regional Power to a Global Power<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n The Republic of Turkey has recognized its own true power<\/strong>. Turkey has the capacity and will to carry out operations in more than one region beyond its borders.<\/span><\/p>\n Today, while the TAF is conducting an operation in Idlib, it is also preparing for an operation in Libya.<\/span><\/p>\n Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan stated that if there is no immediate solution to the situation in the region, Turkey will do whatever it takes in Idlib in northwest Syria.<\/span><\/a>[viii]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In Libya, after the coup-plotter terrorist Haftar forces did not comply with the ceasefire decision, Turkey took its military measures in the region to the highest level. Warships of the Turkish Naval Forces have been operating in Libya for a while.<\/span><\/a>[ix]<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n
