Turkish govt resigns, Erdogan seeks to form 1st coalition after 12 yrs majority rule

June 9, 2015 By administrator

turkey-government-resigns-erdogan.siTurkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accepted the government’s resignation on Tuesday, asking Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu to stay on in his post until a new Cabinet is formed.

The prime minister’s resignation is a standard procedure after Sunday’s parliamentary election before the new government starts operating, the Turkish president’s office said.

“The president thanked the government for its work to date. [The acting] Cabinet will continue working until the new government is put together,” Erdogan’s office said in a statement, Tass reported.

After a swearing-in ceremony on June 25, the new Turkish parliament members will have 45 days to agree on the composition of the cabinet.

If they fail to form a government by that deadline, Erdogan has the power to call a new parliamentary election.

After the announcement of the preliminary results of Turkey’s parliamentary election it became clear that Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party (AKP) had fallen short of a majority for the first time in 12 years.

According to Turkey’s NTV channel, AKP claimed some 41 per cent of the votes, a loss of 9 percentage points, which will only allow it to occupy 258 seats in the country’s 550-seat Grand National Assembly.

Erdogan’s party will now face the prospect of entering a coalition with one of the three opposition parties that passed the 10 percent barrier necessary to enter parliament.

The Republican People’s Party (CHP) has preliminarily garnered about 25 percent of the vote (a rise of 4 percentage points), taking about 130 seats in parliament.

The Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) took about 17 percent (an increase of 3 percentage points), claiming a little over 80 seats.

For the time in Turkish history a pro-Kurdish party, the People’s Democratic Party (HDP), has made it into the parliament, with around 13 percent of the vote.

The official results of the election are set to be announced 11 or 12 days after Sunday’s vote.

Davutoglu “THE GOD FATHER ISIS” Warns Countries Who May Recognize Genocide

April 18, 2015 By administrator

Refers to Native Americans as ‘Redskins’

ANKARA—Warning that decisions like the European Parliament’s motion recognizing the Armenian Genocide will lead to enmity and prejudice against Turkey and Muslims, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, in an attempt to point the finger away from the Turkish government, asked about the fate of the Aborigines in Australia and Native Americans in the United States.

“If a contribution is to be made to peace, if European culture is to preserve its multicultural and multi-religious structure, it must not make decisions that will cause enmity against any religious or national group on the basis of history. This is a situation which will provoke anti-Islam and anti-Turkish [sentiments], which have been on the rise recently in Europe. From now on, the ‘Turkey-Armenia’ [issue] has moved beyond the ‘Turkish-Armenian’ issue. It is a reflection of racism in Europe,” Davutoğlu said on Friday, responding to reporters.

The European Parliament’s motion came on April 15, a few days after Pope Francis also reaffirmed the Armenian Genocide with a Holy Mass at the Vatican.

The prime minister argued that both the European Parliament’s resolution and the pope’s statement were “a new reflection of racism.”

Davutoglu turned the discussion away from Turkey as he mentioned past injustices committed by European countries. “I told [European Parliament President Martin] Schulz yesterday. If we are to open the history of Europe, what was done in Africa during colonialism? What was done in Asia? What was done in Australia and where have those authentic tribes disappeared to? Where are the Aborigines, where are the Redskins?” he said, using the derogatory term for Native Americans.

Davutoglu then pointed the finger at the Catholic Church, criticizing the Church’s actions five hundred years ago during the Spanish Inquisition. “We could open files of Catholic history and bring up an issue by talking about those who fled the Inquisition, came to our country and how they have lived in peace here for centuries.”

To Understand Turkey’s Ahmet Davutoğlu a pan-Islamist ideologue, why he is fomenting regional strife.

March 29, 2015 By administrator

Turkey’s Ahmet Davutoğlu a pan-Islamist ideologue

Turkey’s Ahmet Davutoğlu a pan-Islamist ideologue

Turkey’s Ahmet Davutoğlu a pan-Islamist ideologue, with imperialist ambitions to reshape the Middle East into a post-national order based on Turkish Sunni religious supremacy? That is the blockbuster thesis currently turning heads both inside and outside Turkey, thanks to a series of recent articles by Marmara University Assistant Professor Behlül Özkan.

Özkan, a one-time student of Davutoğlu’s from the latter’s time as an international relations professor, bases his provocative conclusion on close study of 300 articles penned by Davutoğlu in the 1980s and 90s. He first made his case in an essay for the August-September edition of the International Institute for Strategic Studies’ journal “Survival,” before introducing it to a wider English audience with pieces on Al-Monitor and in the New York Times.

In his NYT op-ed “Turkey’s Imperial Fantasy” published last week, Özkan remembered Professor Davutoğlu as a hard-working and “genial figure” who “enjoyed spending hours conversing with his students.” In contrast with his academic peers, however, he believed that Turkey would “soon emerge as the leader of the Islamic world by taking advantage of its proud heritage and geographical potential … encompass[ing] the Middle East, the Caucasus and Central Asia, and include Albania and Bosnia”:

Mr. Davutoglu’s classroom pronouncements often sounded more like fairy tales than political analysis. He cited the historical precedents of Britain, which created a global empire in the aftermath of its 17th-century civil war, and Germany, a fragmented nation which became a global power following its 19th-century unification. Mr. Davutoglu was confident that his vision could transform what was then an inflation-battered nation, nearly torn apart by a war with Kurdish separatists, into a global power.

He crystallized these ideas in the book ‘Strategic Depth,’ in 2001, a year before the Justice and Development Party, or A.K.P., came to power. In the book, he defined Turkey as a nation that does not study history, but writes it — a nation that is not at the periphery of the West, but at the center of Islamic civilization … Mr. Davutoglu saw himself as a grand theorist at the helm of his country as it navigated what he called the ‘river of history.’ He and his country were not mere pawns in world politics, but the players who moved the pieces.

Özkan rejects that Davutoğlu’s ideas amount to “neo-Ottomanism,” as often accused. Instead, he gives Turkey’s new prime minister the even heftier label of “pan-Islamist”:

The movement known as Ottomanism emerged in the 1830s as the empire’s elites decided to replace existing Islamic institutions with modern European-style ones, in fields from education to politics. By contrast, Mr. Davutoglu believes that Turkey should look to the past and embrace Islamic values and institutions.

But, ironically, he bases his pan-Islamist vision on the political theories that were used to legitimize Western imperial expansion prior to 1945. While purporting to offer Turkey a new foreign policy for the 21st century, his magnum opus draws on the outdated concepts of geopolitical thinkers like the American Alfred Thayer Mahan, the Briton Halford Mackinder and the German Karl Haushofer, who popularized the term “Lebensraum,” or living space, a phrase most famously employed by Germany during the 1920s and 1930s to emphasize the need to expand its borders.

According to Mr. Davutoglu, the nation states established after the breakup of the Ottoman Empire are artificial creations and Turkey must now carve out its own Lebensraum — a phrase he uses unapologetically. Doing so would bring about the cultural and economic integration of the Islamic world, which Turkey would eventually lead. Turkey must either establish economic hegemony over the Caucasus, the Balkans and the Middle East, or remain a conflict-riven nation-state that risks falling apart.

After becoming Turkey’s foreign minister from 2009, Davutoğlu had the opportunity to put these ideas into practice – with disastrous results:

As foreign minister, Mr. Davutoglu fervently believed that the Arab Spring had finally provided Turkey with a historic opportunity to put these ideas into practice. He predicted that the overthrown dictatorships would be replaced with Islamic regimes, thus creating a regional ‘Muslim Brotherhood belt’ under Turkey’s leadership.

He sought Western support by packaging his project as a ‘democratic transformation’ of the Middle East. Yet today, instead of the democratic regimes promised three years ago, Turkey shares a border with ISIS’s self-proclaimed caliphate. Two months ago, its fighters raided the Turkish consulate in the Iraqi city of Mosul, and is still holding 49 Turkish diplomats hostage. Mr. Davutoglu, who has argued that Turkey should create an Islamic Union by abolishing borders, seems to have no idea how to deal with the jihadis in Syria and Iraq, who have made Turkey’s own borders as porous as Swiss cheese.

To repair this dire situation as prime minister, Özkan says Davutoğlu needs to pragmatically reconnect Turkey’s regional policy with reality:

The new prime minister is mistaken in believing that the clock in the Middle East stopped in 1918 — the year the Ottoman Empire was destroyed — or that Turkey can erase the region’s borders and become the leader of an Islamic Union, ignoring an entire century of Arab nationalism and secularism. What Mr. Davutoglu needs to do, above all, is to accept that his pan-Islamist worldview, based on archaic theories of expansionism, is obsolete.

Özkan’s thesis certainly seems to have struck a chord, with plenty of prominent figures declaring their admiration. Still, the reception has not been universally positive. In Radikal, political scientist Fuat Keyman expressed skepticism about the use of any catch-all term such as “pan-Islamist” to accurately describe Davutoğlu’s worldview:

As someone who has read many – if not all – of Davutoğlu’s works, it’s difficult to understand how Dr. Özkan has drawn the conclusion that Davutoğlu is a pan-Islamist (which is problematic as a term anyway).

It shouldn’t be forgotten that such expressions have only recently started to be used for Erdoğan and Davutoğlu. It could be said that irresponsible, anti-Semitic writings and comments made [by others] in Turkey recently have contributed to the increased use of terms like ‘pan-Islamism’ abroad.

Still, I don’t think terms such as ‘neo-Ottoman,’ ‘sectarian,’ or ‘pan-Islamist’ are useful or appropriate when describing Davutoğlu’s worldview, or his approach to foreign and domestic politics … Criticism of Turkish foreign policy should instead focus on the strategic errors that have been made, the exaggeration of Turkey’s power, and recently its distancing from democracy.

In Zaman, meanwhile, Şahin Alpay similarly questioned the validity of any term that sought to place a rigid label on the often multi-dimensional policies of Davutoğlu and the AKP:

The foreign policies pursued by Erdoğan and Davutoğlu do not fit into the mold of ‘neo-Ottoman,’ ‘pan-Islamist,’ or ‘Sunni sectarian.’ It’s difficult to apply a single ideological label for a foreign policy that started negotiations to join the EU, gave NATO permission for its Kürecik bases, received prizes from the Israeli lobby, struck up a personal friendship with Bashar al-Assad, recommended secularism to Egypt, and felt Tehran to be its own home. Rather than being based on certain principles, the policies pursued by the AKP, domestically and abroad, can be said to be either pragmatic, populist, opportunistic, or aimed at securing or protecting power. But if an ideological tag is necessary, Islamic Kemalism or religious nationalism could be used.

A deeper and more academic critique of Özkan’s work that has attracted particular attention was posted on the personal website of Ali Balcı, an associate professor at Sakarya University. Balcı doesn’t take issue with Özkan’s use of such a blanket term as “pan-Islamist,” but voices more substantial reservations about the underlying fundamentals of his work:

Özkan argues that the ‘pan-Islamic’ conclusions and analyses made by Davutoğlu as an academic in the second half of the 1980s and the 1990s can be used to understand Davutoğlu’s later foreign policy. This strongly indicates a ‘once an Islamist always an Islamist’ assumption, suggesting that Davutoğlu’s essential core is unchanging in the face of different times and conditions … The work’s fundamental problem is that despite all of the changes in conditions [since Davutoğlu wrote], it still puts forward that a pan-Islamist is always a pan-Islamist – a reductionist and essentialist reading.

Balcı says it isn’t clear why Özkan searches for proof of Davutoğlu’s “pan-Islamism” in his old academic articles, while he supports the “neo-Ottoman” label for former Turkish President Turgut Özal using evidence from the latter’s period in office:

Turkish ISIS Godfather Davutoglu urges US Muslims to unite against “Islamophobia”

March 7, 2015 By administrator

Ahmet Davutoglu

Ahmet Davutoglu

“Islamophobia” is a neologism designed to intimidate people into thinking it is wrong to oppose jihad terror. That Davutoglu would be trafficking in it is no surprise. “Turkish PM urges US Muslims to unite against Islamophobia,” Anadolu Agency, March 5, 2015:

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu on Wednesday called on U.S. Muslims to make common cause against Islamophobia and racism.

Davutoglu concluded the first day of his New York visit with an address to representatives of Turkish associations in the U.S. at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Midtown Manhattan. report jihad watch

He urged the 190,000-strong Turkish community in the U.S. not only to raise a common voice on issues related to Turkey’s interests but also to act in unison with Muslims and others in defending human rights on matters related to discrimination and racism.

He also criticized the international community for being silent on the murder of three Muslim students in the U.S. state of North Carolina last month.

“Did the murder of these young Muslims spark the same amount of outrage as the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris had done? Following that attack, I attended the march in Paris to oppose it and stand in solidarity with the French people. But, which heads of state were present at the funeral of these three innocent young Muslims?” Davutoglu asked.

The only problem here with Davutoglu’s narrative is that there is no evidence that it was a hate crime. The killer was a far-Left supporter of the Huffington Post and the Southern Poverty Law Center. There is absolutely no evidence that he had some burning hatred for Muslims. But that doesn’t stop the “Islamophobia”-mongers, as they need hate crimes to fit their narrative of Muslims as victims.

Deah Barakat, 23, his wife Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, 21, and her sister Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, were fatally shot Feb. 10 in a North Carolina residential complex by a man describing himself a “gun-toting” atheist.

The family of the victims branded the incident a hate crime, and Muslim advocacy groups urged authorities to examine a possible bias motive for the killings.

“If the U.S. is to retain its pluralist character, if the American citizenship is to protect its quality of being a symbol of certain liberties, this type of discriminatory and racist attitudes should not take root in American soil,” Davutoglu said.

At the end of his speech, the prime minister called on the Turkish community to “defend shared humanitarian values shoulder to shoulder, together with other Muslim Americans and those who are against racism.”

Also present at the meeting were Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan, Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek, Turkey’s Ambassador to the U.S. Serdar Kilic and Turkey’s Consul-General in New York Ertan Yalcin.

Turkey’s Wall Street is in ‘panic mode’ Davutoglu made a surprise visit to New York.

March 7, 2015 By administrator

By Linette Lopez,
erdogan-economyOn Thursday Citigroup announced that it would pull up and leave Turkey’s second largest bank, selling its almost 10% stake in Akbank TAS at an $800 million loss.That tells you something about how quickly the bank wanted to leave. It had held the investment for 7 years.

“It has been a rough year or two for Turkey’s financial sector,” Dr. Jonathan Schanzer, vice president of research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a former counterterrorism analyst for the US Treasury Department, told Business Insider in an email. “This explains why Davutoglu made a surprise visit to New York. He was trying to placate nervous bankers and investors. He didn’t even tell the State Department he was coming. The Turks appear to be in panic mode.”

Deltec International Group, an investment firm, now considers Turkey one of the emerging economies most at risk because of its high current account deficit, low foreign exchange reserves, short term external debt, and weak domestic demand.

That means it’s filing Turkey in the same catastrophe cabinet as Russia and Venezuela. From the start of 2015, the Turkish lira is down over 10% and slid to a fresh record low this week.

“The fact that Citi wanted to sell earlier than planned could be a bad indication for the markets,” Cagdas Dogan of BGC Partners told Bloomberg. “It sort of implies that they expect them to keep on falling.”

A large part of the problem with Turkey is its politics.

Once upon a time, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was expected to be a democratic, market-friendly leader. No longer. Many analysts are concerned that he’s dictating Central Bank policy. As the lira fell this week, members of his cabinet took to television to remain calm, insisting that the lira would “find its own balance.”

In the same breath, Economy Minister Nihat Zeybekci blamed the Central Bank for the lira’s woes, saying that it had not raised interest rates enough.

The lira, year to date down 10.56%

If these problems aren’t enough, consider also that Turkey is still in the midst of a massive corruption scandal involving some nasty alleged financial crimes, including a gold-for-oil exchange with sanctioned Iran.

Additionally, the head of the country’s state owned bank, Halkbank, was forced to resign for this scandal back in 2013, and a report in March of 2014 showed that Halkbank processed cash transfers to Iran.

Around the same time, the US Federal Reserve shut down the US retail accounts of another Turkish state-owned bank, Ziraat Bank, for unexplainable irregularities.

Last, but certainly not least, of all these things is the impact of  Syria’s ongoing civil war.

“…multiple reports suggest that extremist financiers may be operating on Turkish soil, with the goal of bankrolling groups like JN [Jabat al Nusra] and IS [the Islamic State], among others,” said a report by the Center on Sanctions and Illicit Finance. “The financial facilitators hail primarily from Gulf countries, notably Qatar and Kuwait, and meet with radical groups in Turkey and support their efforts. One financial network of Kuwaiti donors was described by the Treasury Department in an October 2012 designation. The Treasury noted that funds were transferred to jihadists through intermediaries in Turkey.”

Questions about Turkey’s stance towards ISIL elicited similar responses from Davutoğlu “Tit for tat”

March 7, 2015 By administrator

Turkish journalist Emre UsluBy EMRE USLU

Questions about Turkey’s stance towards ISIL elicited similar responses from Davutoğlu. In response to a query about why Turkey was not sealing off its southern borders, Davutoğlu first explained at length just how difficult that would be and then went on to say something quite striking: “You ask why we don’t seal off our borders to prevent foreign fighters from joining ISIL in Syria, but why do you not make the same requests of Lebanon or Iraq? Hezbollah forces head from Lebanon over to Syria, as do Shiite militants, all in an effort to support Assad. In fact, one country [Iran] even has official military units fighting alongside Assad. Why do you not say the same things to these countries?”

I’m certain this will be quite an eye-opening answer for many Western observers, who are likely to read these words as follows: Turkey has staked out sides in the Sunni-Shiite clashes in the region. In essence, Turkey is allowing al-Qaeda style militants to slip over its borders into Syria in order to fight against the Hezbollah and Iraqi Shiite forces fighting alongside Assad in Syria.

And in fact, Davutoğlu’s statements were eye-opening for me too. If the reality is that Hezbollah and Shiite militants — not to mention official units of the Iranian military — are fighting in Syria alongside Assad, is it really Turkey’s solution to then allow Sunni al-Qaeda style militants to cross its borders into that mess? Is there really no other solution to this? How can there even be any indication that this is somehow a legitimate tactic as it equals out the entrance into Syria of foreign Shiite fighters?

I believe the strongest mark left behind in the wake of Davutoğlu’s New York visit is the attempt to respond to the West’s criticism that Turkey is allowing individuals to pass through its borders in order to join ISIL in Syria with questions about why the West is not opposing or trying to block the entrance of Shiite fighters (like Hezbollah) into Syria. It is a stance that pretty well sums up Turkey’s approach to the situation.5, Thursday

Edvin Minassian, who is among the executives of the US-based Armenian Bar Association, told the weekly that the fact that the many members of the Armenian diaspora in the US work for the closure of charter schools run by Turkish people affiliated with the movement is a clear sign that the two groups are at odds with each other.

Davutoglu, You are natives

Turkey’s prime minister has announced a government plan for ruling out the term ethnic minority from the country’s social life.

“We are resolute on that. You are the natives of this land; you aren’t strangers here. Your traditions have been on these lands. And so they will continue living,” Cihan news agency quotes Ahmet Davutoglu as saying at a dinner event with ethnic minority groups.

Representatives of Turkey’s non-Muslim communities were invited to the event held in capital Ankara.

In his speech, Davutolgu also reportedly spoke of “beautiful recollections of history” and shared culture.

He asked the guests to never forget that the first Armenian novel was written in the Turkish language.

“Likewise, we should never ignore the Armenian factor’s big value in the Turkish music. We must never forget what harmony the Jewish and Greek cultures maintained with our culture. It is our history,” he said.

The dinner event was attended by Mr Davutoglu’s spouse, as well as Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc, Minister of Justice Bekir Bogdagh and Minister of Family and Social Policy Aysenur Islam.

“I hereby announce that we will not bow before neither the Jewish nor the Armenian nor the Greek lobbies.

“I call upon the ‘parallel structure’ [i.e., the Gulen movement, which is a transnational religious and social movement led by Fethullah Gulen], which sends messages to these lobbyists.
