Assistant Prime Minister Bozdag: "It insults a person's intelligence
to say the simultaneous spread of this business is spontaneous"
AKP [Justice and Development Party] Assistant Chairman and Party
Spokesman Celik: "All the pieces are falling into place. The selected
place was Istanbul. The selected spot was Taksim. Politicizing an
apolitical youth and driving them into the streets."
EU Minister and Chief Negotiator Bagis: "Foreign forces held a number
of meetings before to create chaos in Turkey. Is this the first? Is
this the first time such a scenario is being played out? You can find
them all in the archives."
AKP Assistant Chairman Soylu: "Turkey is being faced with lies, slander
and intrigue exactly as in scenarios that took place in the past."
Ankara 16 Jun 13 (Anatolian) - News saying that the Taksim Gezi Park
riots had been discussed at the American Enterprise Institute under
the name "possible Istanbul rebellion" in February has taken its
place on the politicians' agenda now.
It has emerged that the scenario carried in Yeni Safak's banner
headline today reading "Code Name Istanbul Rebellion" was discussed
in the United States in February. It is noted that comments were
made at the Washington-based Israeli institution American Enterprise
Institute saying: "If there is a major demonstration it can take on
Tahrir's identity. The Turkish youth is apolitical but if they come
into the town squares they will become politicized over time. The
streets must be kept alive. As the national left-wing movements have
been unable to come up with progressive goals it may be hard to turn
the squares into a popular movement."
Reportedly, the meeting was attended by Donald Rumsfeld, who was
on former President George W Bush's team and who is known for his
antipathy towards Turkey, as well as by such names as Paul Wolfowitz,
Richard perle, Bernard Lewis, Alliot Abrams, John Bolton, William
Kristol and Douglas Feith. These "Neo-Con" names, known for the
anti-Turkey rhetoric and policies, made the news in 2007 too with the
"Hudson Plan" to agitate Turkey.
Bekir Bozdag
Assistant Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag had this to say about the
incidents focused on Taksim Gezi Park and this news report: "To say
that the simultaneous spread of this business was simply spontaneous
is to insult a person's intelligence."
Bozdag stated that the attitude of the international broadcasting
agencies since the incidents began was worthy of attention and
that several circles were unhappy with Turkey becoming powerful. He
noted that the social media and other environments were awash with
disinformation about the incident.
Bozdag stressed that similar incidents take place from time to time
in many democratic countries and that the press' approach to them was
very different from its approach to the incidents in Turkey. Bozdag
said: "CNN, the BBC, the newspapers and TV channels that everybody
follows; they all present a very different picture of what is going
on in Turkey."
Noting that there were also media organs, people, groups and
politicians at home that were fueling this approach, Bozdag said:
"It is abundantly clear that they all have a plan to disrupt the
democratic climate in Turkey and move our people into a different
position that opposes the government using Gezi Park as an excuse."
Stating that some columnists were seen to have touched on these topics
in the past, Bozdag said: "To say that the simultaneous spread of this
business was simply spontaneous is to insult a person's intelligence."
Huseyin Celik
AKP Assistant Chairman and Party Spokesman Huseyin Celik had this to
say about the news story: "All the pieces are falling into place. The
selected place was Istanbul. The selected spot was Taksim. The
apolitical youth is being politicized and driven into the streets. All
of this shows that a scenario has been written and that this scenario
is being played out by certain people."
Noting that the points discussed in the scenario in the news had
parallels with what was going on in Turkey Celik said, "Everything
that has been taking place in recent days is a play."
Stating that Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan had a different
makeup than previous prime ministers and that this fact was making
some people uncomfortable, Celik said: "Therefore, we are seeing this
as well in this scenario, unfortunately. We know what the Neo-Cons
in the United States think about us, how they fell about us. We know
how the various lobbies there think. We know about the preparations
being made concerning the incidents of 1915."
"Our coming up with an active foreign policy and adopting a position
of honor and dignity, and standing tall, is making some people
uncomfortable," said Celik continuing:
"All the pieces are falling into place. The selected place was
Istanbul. The selected spot was Taksim. The apolitical youth is being
politicized and driven into the streets. All of this shows that a
scenario has been written and that this scenario is being played
out by certain people. When a business kicks off it can take on a
different shape. It takes point from which to move. Later, that point
is expanded. Gezi Park began as an innocent green and environmental
protest, but it was hijacked. It is right here that the plot known as
'Code Name Istanbul Rebellion' within this plan was brought precisely
to the desired point."
Egemen Bagis
EU Minister and Chief Negotiator Egemen Bagis said this about the news:
"Foreign forces held a number of meetings before to create chaos in
Turkey. Is this the first time? Is this the first time such a scenario
is being played out? You can find them all in the archives."
Minister Bagis noted:
"Months before these incidents began in Turkey, back in February,
there was a meeting at the Neo-Con institution called the American
Enterprise Institute. There were even people there from Turkey. 'What
if something were to take place similar to what we are experiencing
today?' Now, when you place these things side by side you can see
that this was done at a time when Turkey was starting to rise. This
interest ['faiz' meaning financial interest, as opposed to 'menfaat'
or 'cikar' meaning a nation's interest or self-interest] lobby's...
The US government is not a part of this. Obama is not a part of this.
There is an interest [cikar this time] group within America. This is
a group safeguarding whose interests? An international bunch of power
centers. They have economic power. They are able to stage a number of
plots. They are able to set up an advertizing agency. They are able to
open bogus accounts. They are even able to finance a few journalists.
They can even direct provocateurs."
Pointing out that these plots had been staged before, Bagis said there
were only two leaders in the world that US President Obama trusts:
Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron and Turkey's Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Bagis said, "What is happening in the United
States, in Turkey and in the United Kingdom today is all happening
at the same time; it is no coincidence."
Suleyman Soylu
AKP Assistant Party Chairman Suleyman Soylu had this to say about the
news: "Turkey is faced with the exact same lies, slander and intrigue
that it faced in past scenarios."
Stating that Turkey had faced similar organizations to this from time
to time Soylu said:
"More democracy is our pledge, our boast, our ideal and our will.
Turkey is faced with the exact same lies, slander and intrigue that it
faced in scenarios in the past. An way of thinking that is rebelling
and trying to agitate the people around it by using the social
media yesterday evening to show our people pictures taken in Gaza,
in Palestine and in Spain, by throwing themselves under a TOMA [Riot
Control Vehicle] and saying, 'Look what they did to me' was clearly
at work last night to a significant degree. The lies are trying to
envelop almost all of Turkey. Let nobody be deceived by the silence
of the silent majority. The nation has presence of mind, common sense
and patience plus the sagacity to expose all those lies like a huge
clap of thunder. Let nobody be fooled by our nation's patience."
