Frankenstein Hits Back

In June 2014, ISIS captured Mosul, Iraq, and raided the Turkish consulate compound, taking forty-six personnel hostage, including the consul-general. Here, Turkish foreign minister Ahmet Davutoğlu kisses Turkish consul- general Oztürk Yilmaz on his return to Turkish soil after the hostages were freed. Davutoğlu claimed the release was the work of the country’s intelligence agency although it is thought that cash secretly switched hands.

The Turkish government’s support for ISIS and other jihadist groups in Syria and Iraq has not been cost-free. In June 2014, ISIS captured Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city, and raided the Turkish consulate compound, taking forty-six personnel hostage, including the consul-general. In doing so, the organization apparently sought to prevent the Ankara government—deemed too pragmatic and “Western” by its standards—from betraying the Islamist cause.

In reality, ISIS had seized not merely forty-six hostages but the entire nation, serving as a wakeup call for Ankara: If you deal with jihadists, you can one day become their victim. Turkey’s 910-kilometer-long border with Syria had become an open highway for jihadists from around the world flocking to join ISIS. Border crossings and medical treatment for injured ISIS fighters that had been officially tolerated were upgraded to create a de facto hub that augmented ISIS’s logistical base and firepower.

Turkey is sliding into dictatorship

Tear gas, water cannons and rubber bullets are the ways for Erdogan to take control over Turkish media. This blatant display of force demonstrates how far Turkey’s increasingly autocratic President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will go to solidify his power and pursue his vendetta against the adversary he fears most.

Erdoğan is set to become a new Sultan

As it became clear from the words of Turkish Meclis’ head İsmail Kahraman, the country’s government wants to remove the lines about secularization from the new Constitution. Of course, politicians started to deny it all, but who will believe them? Who’s gonna believe them since our country’s leaders are eager to get the European Union’s money, cancel the visa regime and become an EU member if possible?

However, on the other hand they don’t want to ease their hand on the Turkish people’s throat – Erdoğan is obviously set to fill his pockets by robbing his country. And here comes the evidence. But why is the islamization so scary?

First of all, It will give Erdoğan a chance to gain even more power than he has now. He will inevitably declare himself Turkey’s spiritual leader which would let him get more authority! Women will be forced to wear paranja clothes, men would be deprived of their right to express their opinion in the open, Turkey would become a second Saudi Arabia of the modern world. Moreover, if the Turkish leaders’ European plan is implemented, no one will stop the new Turkish dictator or making everyone obey!
