With the exception of the ideologically biased, an overwhelming majority of ordinary people now believe that the existence of the Ergenekon terror organization is a fact.

Even its self-confessed advocate, Republican People´s Party (CHP) leader Deniz Baykal, now admits ....

 

...Ergenekonians see themselves as true Kemalists and believe we live in conditions similar to those just before the Turkish War of Independence in the 1920s under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal (Atatürk).

 

The last rulers of the Ottomans, the leaders of the Union and Progress Party, established a paramilitary underground organization in Anatolia with the help of the Ottoman intelligence organization Teskilat-i Mahsusa when they understood that they would lose World War I and Turkey could be occupied.

The second important issue that we should take into account is Mustafa Kemal´s ideology. In retrospect, we know for sure that Mustafa Kemal (Atatürk) had always been a staunch and dedicated Westophile and Westernizer. He always dreamed that his nation would reach the level of Western civilization. ..

As Professor Kemal Gürüz, an Ergenekon suspect, confessed last week, they are Americanist deep down but would like to get the help of Russia, which would not mind a dictatorship in Turkey.

 

As these pseudo-Mustafa Kemals delude themselves that Turkey is under the occupation of foreigners and traitors, ..
