    OBAMA AND TURKEY

    Hurriyet
    Nov 11 2008
    Turkey

    A couple of days ago while I was watching a televised debate over
    the newly-elected president of the United States, Barrack Obama,
    I heard the following conversation; "Question: Is the election of
    Obama a part of a project? Answer: No doubt about it." Yes, we saw
    a unique reaction in Turkey when he won.

    Our professional conspiracy theorists came up with a scenario; even if
    it seems Obama has come to power through a democratic election process,
    it is in fact nothing other than an implementation of a project by
    the deep state! Meaning, the deep state, from the beginning, had
    prepared Obama as the Democrat candidate and then brought Hillary
    Clinton up as his rival. But in the race, the deep state supported
    Obama and preferred John McCain as Republican candidate.

    In order to weaken McCain, the deep state pushed Sarah Palin in as his
    vice-presidential nominee. While McCain and Obama were neck-and-neck
    in the race, the deep state this time provoked the economic crisis
    in order to stimulate Obama supporters. In the end, Obama won!

    An awesome scenario, is it not? Not to admire the power of imagination
    behind this is impossible. Political scientists in Europe see Obama's
    victory as proof of Americans' enormous ability for self-renewal and
    lament not having a leader like him. But they err! We should reveal the
    facts to them! However, Europe is the home of the great philosopher,
    mathematician and scientist RenÂ~N Descartes. "I think therefore I
    am," he said. And suspicion is at the bottom of thought. You will not
    entertain every single thought that enters your mind. You will ask
    yourself, I wonder if this is true. Of course, this is a difficult
    process. If you stick to a pattern of thought you like and if you
    adopt it, you are comforted each time you apply it! Obama's remarks
    before the election are a cause of concern.

    That is correct. For instance, he said he would ask NATO allies to
    send more troops to Afghanistan. But we are not obliged to say yes
    to him all the time. There is nothing more natural than a country
    struggling with the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, terror to turn
    down greater troop deployment to Afghanistan.

    Obama also described the Turkish military in Cyprus as "occupation
    forces" but the criteria he has introduced for a settlement of the
    Cyprus issue are not much different from what we offer, together with
    the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, or TRNC. Besides, we all know
    talks between Turkish and Greek leaders on the island will not end
    with a solution. We are mostly concerned by his remark that he would
    back a bill in favor of the so-called Armenian genocide allegations.

    Time will tell if this was only an election gimmick or
    not. U.S. presidents, however, send messages every April 24, although
    they refrain from using the term "genocide." American Presidents issue
    statements in which they stress that 1.5 million Armenians were killed,
    that this is a tragedy in the history of mankind which should not be
    forgotten. Let us do our best to prevent a bill in favor of Armenian
    allegations but let us also keep in mind that turning this into a
    problem in bilateral relations is against our interests. On the other
    side, the best way to curb a negative development is to complement
    and fortify the new environment, created by Turkish President Abdullah
    Gul's initiative in Turkish-Armenian relations, with solid content.

    Will Obama back the formation of an independent Kurdish state in the
    north of Iraq? The establishment of such a state will end with the
    disintegration of Iraq, the formation of a Shia state in the south
    and dangerously increase Iranian influence in the Gulf region. Why
    does the United States want all this? The more we make realistic
    assessments, the more our policies will be right on the money.
