The hard days of Türkiye; From the arrest of Imamoglu to the possibility of confrontation with Israel
href = “https://www.mehrnews.com”> Mehr News Agency , International Group – December Mahdwan : “Everything is Beautiful”, this was the slogan that Akram Imamoglu, the mayor of Turkey, was raised in two years. Development means conquering Istanbul. But now, his arrest has become Türkiye’s most important political challenge. Known for clashes in political and social bipolar, the country has been the scene of protests and sanctions against the party these days. Following the arrest of Imam Oglu on March 5, with the support of Ozgur Ozel, the leader of the Republican People’s Party, street protests in Turkish metropolitan areas, especially Istanbul, began.
These protests led to the arrest of nearly two thousand Turkish citizens. But social reaction to the protests is not limited; Since April 2, we have witnessed the boycott of government goods by Imamoglu supporters, sanctions that even many Turkish artists and celebrities have joined.
arrest Imamoglu; Legal or Political?
Imamoglu is being tried on charges of corruption, extortion, bribery, money laundering and support for terrorism, especially supporting the Kurdistan Workers’ Party. However, until the moment of writing, there has been no evidence of his crime by the Ministry of Justice and no indictment has been issued.
Therefore, it is still not possible to conclude whether the arrest of Imamoglu is political. But the important point is that if his crime is proven, the conditions for his presidency will be limited. This could make the AKP and its leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan happy, as Imamoglu is Erdogan’s most important political rival. This fierce rival is a popular personality, a speaker, and a focus of Likes and Islamists, and should not be analyzed as an ordinary mayor and politician. Like Erdogan, he wishes to gain power in Türkiye, and his efforts to acquire the Republican People’s Party’s leadership have not yet been forgotten.
For this reason, since year 2, the media close to the Akparati (AKP) have not exalted any destruction against Imam Oglu.
The acts of soft violence in Turkish politics have become a tradition. We have been witnessing coups and arresting important personalities in Türkiye for many years. One of the people whose political life was the victim of this soft violence was the late Najmuddin Arbakan, the late Turkish prime minister. The sentence of imprisonment, the dissolution of his party, the political ban, and the postmodern coup in year 2 were among the events and fate that Arbaks faced. The interesting thing is that Erdogan had sent security forces to his place of residence in year 6, when he was still prime minister. This was confirmed by both the former Turkish Party leader Karamla Oglu, and the Mehram of Altin Oz, the late Arbakan’s son -in -law. Erdogan himself was one of the students of Arbakan!
Rajab Tayeb Erdogan is also one of the politicians who tastes imprisonment. He was sentenced to six months in prison for reading an Islamic poem, but stayed in prison for only six months. Salahuddin Demirtas, a popular Turkish Kurdish politician, who was twice in Erdogan’s election rival, has been in prison for two years and has faced dozens of charges, including a demonstration that began attacking ISIL in the Kobani border town in Syria. And now the arrest of Imamoglu is actually raising the question of whether the beloved mayor of Istanbul has become a victim of political violence or is his imprisonment completely legal matter. “The type of arrest and trial of Akram Imamoglu is in conflict with Turkish rights and laws, and no claims have been released yet,” said Ibrahim Haskeloglu, a prominent Turkish correspondent. This injustice has also been found in other issues. For example, thousands of people were killed in the Turkish champion’s earthquake, but not even a high -level official in Ankara was tried. Ankara mayor Mansour Yawash sent several cases to the judicial authorities on the corruption of former Ankara mayor, who is affiliated with the AKP, but even he was not summoned to court. The daughter of the Turkish Red Crescent Kinik also accidentally killed a Turkish citizen, but not even a day was jailed.
Türkiye’s hope after Ocalan call
The most important event in Turkey in year 2 was negotiating with Abdullah Ocalan, PKK chief, and eventually his call to his supporters to dissolve the group. This call has virtually hoped for Turkey to start peace between the Ankara government and the Kurdish community and the end of the conflict. Erdogan, who thought he had paved the way for the peace process to continue his power in the presidential election, is now facing a social response to the issue of Imamoglu’s arrest. A theme that has been able to add to the popularity of Imamoglu. The interesting thing is that in recent days there is no news of the Turkish media about the dissolution of the PKK and the reciprocal steps of the Ankara government in line with the Kurdish rights, and politicians have not argued.
seems to have been temporarily forgotten as the challenge of arrests in the Istanbul municipality. Politics began to cane in the Kurdish Democratic People’s Democratic Party, also known as the negotiating team with Abdullah Ocalan, although in many political issues prefers to support the Republican People’s Party, he tries to pursue a prudent policy on the arrest of Istanbul. While the party’s officials condemn Imamoglu’s arrest, they did not support street protests. “We are not active of the Republican People’s Party,” said even Tanger, the virgin leader. “We are not going to the streets to do this, we have bigger things.” What is observed by the behavior of the People’s Democracy and Democracy (DEM) is that, given the peace process with the PKK, the party does not intend to disrupt the process of resolving the PKK issue due to the arrest of Imam Oglu. A subject that did not appeal to the Republican People’s Party.
Turkey and Syrian developments
These days the recent challenges of the AKP are not limited to domestic politics and developments arrested by Istanbul mayor. Given the interplay of domestic and foreign policy, one should not neglect the most important issue of Türkiye’s foreign policy. These days, the issue of the Zionist regime in Syria and Ankara’s possibility of confrontation with Tel Aviv. Turkey, who thought that with the support of al -Sham terrorists and the change of regime in Syria could consolidate its political, social and economic influence in Syria, it has now faced the issue of Israel’s presence in Syria.
last week, Israel bombed the T-Air Force Base in Syria, where Türkiye intended to deploy drones. Zionist media wrote that the attack was a message to Ankara about “establishing a base in Syria and interfering with Israel’s activities”.
, however, Hakan Fidan, referring to Israeli attacks on Syria, said: “Israel’s actions are the basis for future instability in the region. If the new Damascus government wants to achieve specific understanding with Israel, this is their own. Türkiye does not want to confront Israel in Syria. ”
Turkish researcher Omar Owenh writes in an article on the possibility of conflict between Israel and Turkey: “Israel seems to have said” God destroyed them “, now Turkey is as enemies as enemies.” “Turkey does not want to confront Israel in Syria, but Israel considers Turkey as” Zionist developer “and Turkey is Israel” Neo -Ottoman Development “and the possibility of clashes between the two in the Syrian field is not zero,” said Hakan Fidan told Reuters. In the event of a conflict, even if it is limited and short -term, both parties will be harmed. Türkiye’s economic situation is very negative and this may be justification for the country’s emergency measures that have serious problems in domestic policy.
Outcome
Ankara government is practically faced with two important issues in the domestic and international field. Neglect in both matters can weaken the Ankara government and reduce Türkiye’s security. If Ankara’s judicial authorities fail to publish the accusations against Imam Oglu, supporters of the AKP will be reduced and we may see the end of its life after the election. On the other hand, recent tensions between Türkiye and Israel, if not properly managed, can endanger Türkiye’s security. Türkiye is facing a problem of economic weakness these days, and each of these two issues can be against themselves. Given the Western dissatisfaction with Imamoglu’s imprisonment, it seems that Western governments will not take action to resolve it if tensions between Israel and Turkey.
