Mai 2012 bei einer Fraktionssitzung seiner Partei, der AKP, verächtlich über den demokratischen Protest von 50.000 Aleviten am 17. März 2012 in Bochum geäußert.

“Erdogan kriminalisiert einen demokratischen Protest. Für den unbedarften Zuhörer hat er die AABF und deren Funktionäre in der Türkei zu Staatsfeinden degradiert und dadurch zur Zielscheibe von islamistischen und nationalistischen Gruppen gemacht. Dass diese Äußerungen erst 2 Monate nach unserem Protest gefallen sind, zeigt uns unzweideutig auf, dass unser Protest ein voller Erfolg war”, bewertete Ali Dogan, Generalsekretär der AABF, die Vorgänge

16 May 2012 / TODAY’S ZAMAN, ANKARA – The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Wednesday that the intelligence that led to the killing of 34 civilians in Uludere, Turkey, last year was in fact provided by US officials to the Turkish side. On Dec. 28, 2011, Turkish fighter jets bombed smugglers, believed to be Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) terrorists, in the Turkish-Iraqi border area near Uludere, sparking outrage in Turkey. The Turkish military stated that the warplanes had targeted the group based on intelligence that suggested a group of armed terrorists would be heading towards the Turkish border to stage attacks against the military. The military did not reveal the source of this intelligence.

The WSJ claimed that the civilian death toll set off alarms at the Pentagon as “it was a US Predator drone that spotted the men and pack animals, officials said, and American officers alerted Turkey.”

By Barry Rubin : Turkey’s Middle East Policy of Seeking To Gobble, Gobble Up the Middle East Makes Enemies of Everyone

“Countries may vary, but civilization is one, and for a nation to progress, it must take part in this one civilization. The decline of the Ottomans began when, proud of their triumphs over the West, they cut their ties with the European nations. This was a mistake which we will not repeat.” –Kemal Ataturk, 1924

16.5.2012 - Spinning in his grave, indeed. for now his successors not only think they can revive a Turkish-ruled imperium but have made the very mistake of turning their backs on the West that the republic’s founder rightly saw as the downfall of that earlier incarnation of his country. I’d change Ataturk’s wording slightly: the Ottomans turned their backs on the modern world then being developed in the West while still forming alliances with European powers. Once upon a time there was a country named Turkey whose republic was created by Kemal Ataturk who famously said: “Peace at home; peace abroad.”
