Daily Taraf, a newly-established liberal newspaper that has fast become a staunch critic of the Ankara autocracy, published a secret military document called 'Lahika 1'

...the gist: bomb the Kurds, purge the conservative Muslims, manipulate the judiciary, and create a military-friendly media.
...
Therefore, the Turkish military, ........, needs to launch a campaign to save the Republic.

The rest of the document explains how this will be done. There is a need to organize a secularist front in society, which will consist of the usual suspects: university administrations, members of the high judiciary, and national NGOs that are either “under full control” or “that can be manipulated.”
....
The importance of the “high judiciary” here is self-evident. Perhaps it was not really a coincidence that the vice chairman of the Constitutional Court, Osman Paksüt, held an undisclosed meeting with the commander of land forces, Gen. İlker Başbuğ, just a short time before the closure case against the AKP.

One of the interesting topics in Lahika-1 is how the media will be used. The writers note that there are “pro-military” sources in the media, along with the “anti-military” ones, and the latter needs to be silenced! It is not very clear how the silencing will be done, but the promotion of pro-military “writers and artists” is said to be feasible by “giving them financial support” from the budget of the military. (It is worthwhile to mention here that the military’s budget is not under parliamentary control in Turkey: it is a totally closed box.)

The document also suggests that the image of the military can be polished by using TV programs and even soap operas.
..... “Or, in the ongoing programs, pro-military insertions can be made.”
.......
a certain dose of religion is good if it serves the state. If people become too religious, or if their religious interpretation deviates from the state line, then they become harmful “backwardees.” The state is simply the measure of all things.
........
There is a final suggestion in Lahika-1, which, unlike the ones I mentioned above, involves the more conventional tools that our military possesses: guns and bombs. This, as you can guess, is about the Kurdish question. The document mentions the outlawed PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party), a terrorist organization, and the need to fight back. That would be completely fine — terrorism deserves a military response — but when you read the scope of this counter-insurgency, you can get a cold shiver down the spine. It is not just the PKK terrorists that need to be hit, the document notes. “The people of the region” (i.e., Kurds in southeastern Turkey) should be harassed by “searches and operations,” in order to make them understand that “support to terrorism will not go unpunished.” For the same reason, the document adds, the “Kurds near the Turkish border in Iraq,” should be “hit by heavy artillery.”

Thus, the decades-old methods to save the Turkish Republic from its “internal enemies” (i.e., citizens with the wrong ideas and identities) seem not to have changed much: bombing the Kurds, curbing the conservative Muslims, and mastering society through totalitarian means. It is a war that never, ever, ends.
