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.
