Damascus-Sana
A foggy scene surrounds the current political situation in Turkey as the aggravation of differences in the ranks of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the recent series of splits that have exposed it have revealed the widening cracks and the size of the cracks in the Turkish regime as its President Recep Tayyip Erdogan insists on the uniqueness of the rule and turned against the friends of yesterday to settle the outstanding accounts.
The Turkish political scene, with its manifestations, clearly portends the beginning of the end for the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), with resignations continuing within its ranks and deepening the crisis within it amid escalating steps taken by Erdogan against a number of close friends, including his former Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and the party's attempts to separate the latter and three other lawmakers. His membership, according to a Turkish official told Reuters.
The official, who declined to be identified, said the AKP's Central Executive Committee had asked at a meeting chaired by Erdogan yesterday to dismiss four AKP members, including Davutoglu and three former AKP deputies, Ayhan Safar Ustun, a former deputy from Sakarya municipality, Selcuk Ozdag, a former deputy from Manisa and Abdullah municipality. A former deputy of the Istanbul municipality, the so-called "disciplinary council" of the party is expected to ratify the move in a few days.
Erdogan's new escalation comes amid information that those who left the AKP are seeking to form a rival party in the wake of a severe defeat suffered by the party in the recent local elections in Istanbul.
Ali Babacan, former deputy prime minister of the party and former Turkish president Abdullah Gul, are reportedly planning to set up the party this year.
Erdogan, who feels constrained by the stifling financial crisis that has brought him into Turkey because of his policies and successive political problems that threaten his rule, moved to a defensive phase in which he paves the way for revenge against his former friends, whom he described as `` traitors '', trying to survive himself by launching a pre-emptive attack against them.
Davutoglu's coup sparked Erdogan's revenge instinct after his repeated criticism of the latter's policies and his recent announcement that he would expose many of the corruption and terrorism files of Erdogan's AK Party and expose his relationship with terrorist organizations, particularly those related to the crisis in Syria.
Beyond what Davutoglu will reveal, the evidence that exposes Erdogan's involvement in supporting terrorist organizations in Syria is heavily armed and training.It confirms that terrorists are directly linked to the Turkish regime and that his intelligence apparatus is involved in training and sending terrorists to Syria and cooperating with them to steal Syrian oil and antiquities.
Erdogan's attempts to shuffle the cards in the region in order to create chaos, tighten his grip on power within Turkey and interfere in the affairs of neighboring countries seem to be coming to an end. The results of his policies in support of terrorism and his diplomatic mistakes have returned to shake his foundations in his own backyard. Erdogan's regime from within is waiting for the moment of end.
