For over 40 years, Turkiye has been combating separatist terrorism, facing not merely a security issue but a complex proxy war orchestrated by global powers. Foreign actors, particularly those supporting terrorist organizations like the PKK both ideologically and logistically, have aimed to destabilize Turkiye, preventing it from rising to a global stature and nullifying its regional influence. Over the years, successive governments have adopted various measures – some periods relied solely on military suppression of terrorism, while others attempted negotiation processes. However, these approaches alone proved insufficient to eliminate the root causes of the problem.

Beginning in the 2000s, as global power balances shifted and under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Turkiye’s global vision expanded, giving rise to a more strategic and holistic counterterrorism approach. This new understanding was shaped significantly by the contributions of the late retired general Adnan Tanrıverdi, the founding president of ASSAM and then-Chief Advisor to the President. Under Tanrıverdi’s guidance, a new counterterrorism concept was developed – prioritizing the elimination of terrorism at its source, including cross-border operations. This approach moved away from traditional defensive reflexes, evolving into a multidimensional strategy that is proactive, intelligence-driven, inclusive of local actors, and reliant on international diplomacy.

Not only in Turkey! But the world is united for four young people. The courtyard of Fatih Mosque witnessed a caravan of martyrs, where hundreds of people from all walks of life, from every community, from every society and from every institution came together.

When we heard about this tragic accident, we as a whole ummah were saddened. Every member of the ummah burst into tears.

In this sense, we went to the IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation, the common meeting point of our four young people, to express our condolences. Although days passed, we witnessed that IHH Central Office hosted dozens of guests.

One of the most important events affecting Ottoman and Turkish history before the World War I was the assassination of Mahmud Shevket Pasha supported by British intelligence. The aim of this assassination was to deprive the Unionists of their guides and to allow the state to pass under the rule of novice ones. With this assassination, the Ottoman Army lost an experienced commander. When the leading role of the British Embassy in the assassination of Mahmud Shevket Pasha in 1913 was clearly revealed, rogue intelligence agents were declared “persona non grata” and expelled from the country. However, with this assassination, England dragged the Ottoman Empire into a void and made it possible for incompetent men to seize the power to rule.
