Perception of the Turkish intelligence apparatus about the danger of “extreme right-wing movement” – Part 1

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, the power of many faces and political parties in the world and especially in European countries, is an important issue that deserves consideration in many ways. He observes seriously. Because many experts believe that based on the butterfly wing theory, the strengthening of extreme right-wing nationalism in any part of the world can affect other parts as well.

If in the past, The transfer of political thoughts was possible only through traditional media, travel and trade, now due to the widespread use of communication tools based on the Internet and mobile phones, the speed of dissemination of thoughts and political-cultural influence has multiplied.

As a result, from the Netherlands and the Zionist regime to Italy, Germany and many other countries, the spread of nationalist thought and the rise of the extreme right has become an important field of study.

Turkey is also one of the countries where nationalism and its extreme right-wing version are widely displayed in social, political, official and unofficial scenes. Perhaps this is the reason why the Turkish intelligence service has quietly added the issue of the growth of far-right movements to the list of security threats, and this action has attracted the attention of political analysts.

A time for the partnership of moderates and extreme right

The Justice Party and Development under the leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan came to power in 2009, when it presented itself as a party opposing the discourse of “extreme right-wing nationalism” and “racial-descent attitudes”.

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his comrades such as Abdullah Gul, Blent Arench and others, following the teachings of their teacher, the late Najmuddin Erbakan, firmly believed in the necessity of promoting moderate and moderate thinking and believed that Alp Arslan’s far-right thought Turkesh and other nationalists have faced Turkey with major security crises and bottlenecks, and a party should come to power that, in addition to interacting with the West, also seeks moderation and balance internally and avoids propaganda about race and descent concepts. , refrain.

But now, as the leader of this party, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is a friend and associate with the most extreme nationalist figure in Turkey, Dolat Baghçeli, the leader of the National Movement Party, and since 2015 Since then, they are in a coalition and under one umbrella.

Erdoğan has been with Baghçeli every year since the day he became friends with him and abandoned his harsh words against the discourse of racism and nationalism. He goes to Molazgerd to participate in the anniversary of the great war of Molazgerd and to visit the graves of Seljuk nobles and commanders. However, Erdogan and his team know very well how dangerous it is for Turkey to gain power from the extreme right.

Areas of partnership with the extreme right

In addition to Dolat Baghceli, the leader of the extreme right party of the Nationalist Movement, Mustafa Dastiji, the leader of the Great Unity Party, is also practically a partner. It is Erdogan. Apart from these, Omid Ozdagh, the leader of Zafar Party, and Meral Akhsner, the leader of Khob Party, are important far-right politicians who have many fans, and another right-wing party such as Sinan Oghan, despite his insignificant votes, practically changed the fate of the 2023 elections and is now

Therefore, the Justice and Development Party cannot go to war with all these powerful social-political currents in the course of confronting the extreme right.

Considering that the extreme right in Turkey, relying on nationalist and racist thoughts, is constantly strengthening the attitudes of “othering” and fighting with “the other”, Turkey, as a country with ethnic pluralism and existing records of discrimination against Kurds and Alevis, can be involved in small and large tensions.

Another important area is friendship and There is a long-standing combination of far-right nationalism and military and security figures in Turkey. Despite the fact that after the failed coup of 2016, the army and the intelligence and law enforcement agencies were settled by the government and the ruling party, there is still a fear that in a critical situation, the military-security front will join the extreme right and Akparty Or take the ruling party out of the way.

Is everything under Cullen’s head?

Professor Ebrahim Kalan, a scholar of philosophy, who, in one of his dozens of lectures on various fields of thought, recommended a list of important books by Iranian thinkers for reading. and believes that everyone should study Maulavi, Ghazali and others properly.

Perhaps it was expected that such a person would become the Minister of Culture. But he has shown that he has great interest in the field of information and security. He, who used to be the spokesperson of the presidential institution and the head of the foreign policy and national security advisors team, now replaces Hakan Fidan, he is the head of the Met Intelligence Service, and apparently, in addition to the foreign policy of the Erdogan government, he is responsible for the fields of national security and cross-border operations. Also, the version is rolled. />

Since the day Cullen went to the Met Intelligence Service, he has done two important things:

1. Opening the school belonging to the service Met information and the introduction of the president and academic staff members of this university in order to train cadres in the field of national security.

Evidence shows that Cullen, even before he died, warned about the dangers of the proliferation of far-right nationalist thought, in order to reduce the sensitivity of this issue and not upset the right wing. Erdoğan’s extremist partner has preferred to advance this field with the lights off and with the brand of studying the dangers of the extreme right in Europe. Why?

Because in the last few decades, extreme right-wing thinking has taken root in Turkey and several parties and political currents are supporters of this discourse. On the other hand, since 2014, the Justice and Development Party has never been able to form a cabinet on its own and has inevitably fallen in love with the extreme right.

In the next part of the article, We will address the issue of what way Ibrahim Kallen, the head of the intelligence service of Mit and the group of experts under his command, have chosen to monitor the influence and spread of extreme right-wing thinking and to find a way to deal with it. that confronting the consequences of the extreme right does not cause resentment and annoyance to the nationalists who are friends of the government.
