ISTANBUL -- The December 14 investigation, known as the 'TahÅ~_iye'
case, is not about the freedom of the press, but is instead about
the plotting activities undertaken by some Gulen-linked figures,
according to Etyen Mahcupyan, Turkish writer and Senior Advisor to
the Prime Minister of Turkey.
Mahcupyan made the comment during a television program on Thursday
evening.
On December 14, certain warrants were issued for some Gulenist
suspects under the allegations of fabricating fake evidence for
TaÅ~_hiye group's leader Memet Dogan.
According to Etyen Mahcupyan, there is enough evidence to prove that
Gulen-linked prosecutors and police plotted a scheme to portray the
TahÅ~_iye group is a terrorist group, and unjustly imprisoned the
group's leader Mehmet Dogan.
"If you put the gathered evidence chronologically, there is a chain
which reveals how the Gulen Movement operates in such instances,"
Mahcupyan said at the program.
The Gulen Movement has lost its "legitimacy", according to Mahcupyan.
"No matter how powerful you are, how many people you influence,
if you have lost your legitimacy, you cannot get a result," he said
during the program.
There are certain circles in the West and in Turkey that react to the
December 14 operation, whereas "the silent majority" has an approach
to the case that is "imponderable," Mahcupyan said. But he thinks
that the government is following in the steps of victory, when one
looks at the whole picture.
According to Mahcupyan, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is
the most realistic political leader in Turkey, and believes that the
AK Party will get 48-50 percent of the votes in the upcoming 18th
general election due to be held on 13 June 2015.
Etyen Mahcupyan, born in 1950, is a journalist and writer. From 2007
to 2010 he was the editor-in-chief of Agos, the Armenian community's
weekly newspaper. He also contributes to Turkish dailies, Taraf
and Zaman.
On October 2014, was appointed as the Senior Advisor to Ahmet
Davutoglu, Prime Minister of Turkey.
