'Political foot'???

During the AKP's rule, and especially after Gül's election as President in 2007, important crises emerged arising from the ideology of "State equals Party, Party equals Leader". The biggest of these was the "July 15, 2016 Military Coup Attempt", which occurred as a result of the Gülen Community, later called FETO/PDY and declared a terrorist organization, dominating the bureaucracy, education, economy, media, judiciary, security and army.

How will this work?

The reason I wrote this article is R.T. Erdoğan's statement in the newspapers dated October 30, 2026: "We will make the next period the Turkish century!" claim If Erdoğan is going to do this good work alone, I would definitely not ask how he will do it, but if he wants to say how he will do it with Türkiye, the situation is different, then I will ask persistently:

The evil of the people is good

Every year in the USA, articles and books on a million/billion scale are published to whet the appetite of our funders.

axis of lame ducks

"The geopolitical landscape has changed," says former British intelligence (MI6) diplomat and Middle East expert Alastair Crooke, briefly and adds: "Both Donald Trump and Netanyahu (in the elections held a week apart in the USA and Israel) came out with a heavy blow. They are both very weak, both politically and physically. Both of them turned the ballot box into a referendum for themselves...
