RÉSUMÉ FRANÇAIS :
«LA COALITION RUSSIE-TURQUIE-IRAN
N'EXISTE PAS» (IBRAHIM KARAGÜL, EDITEUR
EN CHEF DE L'EMBOUCHURE DE L'AKP «YENI
SAFAK»)
"La coalition Russie-Turquie-Iran
n'existe pas (...) La Turquie devrait
construire un bouclier de la
Méditerranée à la frontière iranienne
pour se préparer à la prochaine guerre
mondiale"
- Ibrahim Karagül (rédacteur en chef
de l'embouchure de l'AKP «Yeni Safak»,
14 avril 2018).
"Vous ne pouvez pas appeler cela"
sentiment pro-russe "ou" sentiment
pro-Eurasie ". C'est ce qu'on appelle
être turc, étant local. C'est ce qu'on
appelle l'équilibre "
- Hasan Öztürk (Rédacteur éditorial
pour l'embouchure de l'AKP «Yeni Safak»,
24 avril 2018).
La question de la sincérité de la
Turquie dans son action diplomatique
avec La Russie et l’Iran est centrale.
J’en parle beaucoup. Au coeur de cette
question il y a l’avenir ou l’échec (qui
est pour moi dès le départ un échec
annoncé) du « processus d’Astana ».
L’Axe Moscou-Téhéran est une solide
réalité géostratéqique qui se transforme
en alliance géopolitique durable (1). La
relation Moscou-Ankara est une illusion,
dont l’échec annoncé repose à la fois
sur l’appartenance de la Turquie à
l’OTAN (sur un Axe Washington-Ankara,
parfois complexe, mais indispensable au
grand projet de l’AKP) et, précisément,
sur le grand projet géopolitique
néo-ottoman d’Erdogan, qui se double de
la théorie géopolitique
« pantouranienne » (ajoutée au
néo-ottomanisme en raison de l’alliance
politique AKP-MHP. Projet néoottoman et
géopolitique pantouranienne (qui n’est
pas une « version turque de
l’Eurasisme » - sic – mais sa rivale)
opposé au grand dessein géopolitique
eurasiatique de Moscou (2), partagé par
Pékin et aujourd’hui Téhéran …
Le régime d’Erdogan est un régime de
plus en plus autoritaire. Autoritarisme
nécessité par le tournant
politico-social que le « nouveau
sultan » entend imposere à son pays :
toiurner le dos à quasi in siècle de
réforme et de modernisation de la
Turquie par le Kémalisme et
réislamisation. En sachant qu’au moins
la moitié de la population est opposée à
ce tournant réactionnaire. Mais ce
régime autoritaire n’est pas le fait
d’un homme, Erdogan, mais d’un parti,
l’AKP. Appuyé sur un réseau puissant de
confréries islamistes (l’AKP est la
version turque des ‘Frères Musulmans’).
Et sur une alliance étroite avec un
parti néofasciste, le MHP,
« pan-turkiste » (la vitrine légale des
« Loups gris » ultra-nationalistes,
élément essentiel du contrôle des
diaspora turques par l’AKP) (3).
Comprendre donc que Erdogan doit compter
sur une fraction plus radicale que lui
au sein de l’AKP. Et que celle-ci a peu
de sympathie pour la Russie ou
l’Eurasisme, mais surtout un agenda
pan-turc en Syrie. Le MHP panturquiste
est violemment anti-russe ! (4) Il faut
lire ces dirigeants influents de l’AKP,
assez puissants pour critiquer
ouvertement Erdogan dans l’organe de son
parti : ces propos radicaux montre sans
fard toutes les illusions de la
« géopolitique de l’émotion » de
certains journalistes russes !
En Russie même, de nombreux analystes
critiquent les illusions pro-turques de
Moscou. Le sentiment pro-turc est le
fait de réseaux d’ifluence pro-Erdogan,
liés à des sympathisants des Frères
Musulmans. Et chaque jour plus
minoritaires. La « géopolitique de
l’émotion » est une faillite et
l’approbation d’Ankara aux frappes
occidentales du 14 avril est le clou qui
scelle le cercueil de celle-ci ! On
notera que la critique des illusions sur
la Turquie a atteint le presse d’Etat
russe (‘Sputnik Armenia). Mais aussi la
désillusion du leader de l’ « Eurasisme
de droite », Douguine. Evoquant l’échec
du fantomatique « Axe eurasiste »
(russo-turc) . L’Eurasisme de droite,
encombré d’un fatras idéologique
culturel, religieux et ésotérique, est
précisément celui qui a assimilé,
erronément et au mépris de l’Histoire,
le « pantouranisme » (ou
« panturquisme ») à un « Eurasisme
turc » …

“Russia-Turkey-Iran Coalition Does Not
Exist (...) Turkey Should Build A Shield
From The Mediterranean To The Iranian
Border To Prepare For Upcoming New World
Order War”
- Ibrahim Karagül (Editor-In-Chief
of AKP Mouthpiece 'Yeni Safak', April
14. 2018).
“You cannot call this 'pro-Russia
sentiment' or 'pro-Eurasia sentiment.'
This is called being Turkish, being
local. This is called balance”
- Hasan Öztürk (Editorial writer
for AKP's mouthpiece ‘Yeni Safak’, April
24. 2018).
"Being taught by the enemy is an honor
and a duty"
-
General Karl Hausofer (1869-1946),
the geopolitician of the "Continental
Blocks".
The question of Turkey's sincerity in
its diplomatic action with Russia and
Iran is central. I talk a lot about it.
At the heart of this question is the
future or the failure (which is for me
from the outset an announced failure) of
the "Astana process". The Moscow-Tehran
Axis is a solid geostrategic reality
that is transformed into a sustainable
geopolitical alliance (1). The
Moscow-Ankara relationship is an
illusion, the announced failure of which
is based both on Turkey's membership of
NATO (on a Washington-Ankara axis, which
is sometimes complex, but essential to
the AKP's grand project) and, precisely,
Erdoğan's great neo-Ottoman geopolitical
project, which is coupled with the
"Pantouranian" geopolitical theory
(added to neo-Ottomanism because of the
AKP-MHP political alliance.) The
Neo-Ottoman Project and the Pantouran
Geopolitics (which is not a "Turkish
version of Eurasism" - sic - but its
rival) opposed to the great Eurasian
geopolitical design of Moscow (2),
shared by Beijing and today Tehran ...
Erdogan's regime is an increasingly
authoritarian regime. Authoritarianism
necessitated by the political and social
turn that the "new Sultan" intends to
impose on his country: to turn his back
on almost a century of reform and
modernization of Turkey by Kemalism and
re-Islamization. Knowing that at least
half of the population is opposed to
this reactionary turn. But this
authoritarian regime is not the work of
a man, Erdogan, but of a party, the AKP.
Supported by a powerful network of
Islamist brotherhoods (the AKP is the
Turkish version of the 'Muslim
Brotherhood'). And on a close alliance
with a neo-fascist party, the MHP,
"Pan-Turkist" (the legal showcase of the
ultra-nationalist "Gray Wolves", an
essential element of the control of the
Turkish diaspora by the AKP) (3).
Understand then that Erdogan must rely
on a more radical faction than him in
the AKP. And that it has little sympathy
for Russia or Eurasianism, but
especially a pan-Turkish agenda in
Syria. Panturkist MHP is strongly
anti-russian! (4) must read these
influential leaders of the AKP, powerful
enough to openly criticize Erdogan in
the body of his party: these radical
words show all the illusions of the
"geopolitics of emotion" of some Russian
journalists!
# WHEN THE AKP OFFICIAL MOUTHPIECE 'YENI
SAFAK' ATTACKS THE ERDOGAN POLICY TO
MOSCOW
Ibrahim Karagül, influent
Editor-In-Chief Of AKP Mouthpiece 'Yeni
Safak': “Russia-Turkey-Iran Coalition
Does Not Exist; Turkey Should Build A
'Shield From The Mediterranean To The
Iranian Border' To Prepare For Upcoming
New World Order War.”
‘Yeni Safak’, the mouthpiece for
Turkey's ruling Adalet ve Kalkimna
Partisi (Justice and Development Party,
the Turkish version of the ‘Muslims
Brothers’) has been in the forefront of
a media campaign against AKP's own
leader, Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan, criticizing his policies in
Syria and his government's support for
the U.S.-Great Britain- France airstrike
in Syria (5). On April 14, the Turkish
Foreign Ministry stated that the
operation carried out by Washington,
London and Paris was "an appropriate
response to the chemical attack which
caused the deaths of many civilians in
Douma on 7 April." The Ministry then
added: "We welcome this operation which
has eased humanity’s conscience in the
face of the attack in Douma, largely
suspected to have been carried out by
the regime." Commenting on the
statement, Yeni Safak Editor-in-Chief
İbrahim Karagül attacked Ankara's
position, stating that the government's
decision will lead to severed relations
with Russia, and leave Ankara
"helpless." In his tweets, Karagül
stressed that “continued Turkish
collaboration with Moscow, formed a
prerequisite for Turkey's military
operation against the Kurdish PKK
movement.”
In a lengthy editorial, titled "This Is
No Longer A Syria War! Preparation Is
For 'Doomsday War.' The World’s
Equilibrium May Change," Ibrahim Karagül
elaborated further that if “Turkey will
become a weak player, there will be no
one stopping Iran from its hegemonic
plans”. Karagül wrote: "(Iran) is only
concerned about map efforts, moves to
expand to the Mediterranean coasts, and
clearing the path to greater massacres
to form a bigger area of action for
itself. It is only concerned about
reaching the Mediterranean coasts just
as it reached Yemen; it cares only about
its imperial ambitions."
In his article, Ibrahim Karagül strongly
insinuated that “Erdogan is not fighting
for Turkey's interests”. The Yeni Safak
Editor-in-Chief considers “all of
Erdogan's policies contradictory and
erroneous.” He opined that “the Turkish
government erred in backing the U.S. on
the strike”, but Karagul also considers
“Ankara's formation of an alliance with
Iran– a country which he described as a
foe – via the Astana process, a
blunder.” It is worth noting that on
April 4, Russian President Vladimir
Putin, Turkish President Recep Tayyip
Erdogan and Iranian President Hassan
Rouhani met in Ankara, in the framework
of the Astana process. On that occasion,
Erdogan frequently referred to Rouhani
as "my brother."
In his editorial, Karagül also described
“the geopolitical challenges facing
Turkey, as Syria is doomed to become a
battlefield in the real war between East
and West, a war that will sound the
death knell for the West's
centuries-long global dominance.”
Accordingly, Karagul advocates “quick
action by Turkey in Afrin” to form a
'Turkey shield' stretching from the
Mediterranean to the Iranian border.” He
warned that “If Turkey failed to act in
this direction, it could risk seeing the
Syria war turn into an Anatolia war"
over Turkey's heartland.
BUT KARAGÜL IS FAR FROM ISOLATED!
"YOU CANNOT CALL THIS 'PRO-RUSSIA
SENTIMENT' OR 'PRO-EURASIA SENTIMENT'.”
(AKP'S MOUTHPIECE ‘YENI SAFAK’, APRIL
24. 2018)
Hasan Öztürk, the editorial writer for
the ruling AKP's mouthpiece ‘Yeni Safak’
wrote also an anti-iranian and
anti-Syrian article, titled "You cannot
call this 'pro-Russia sentiment' or
'pro-Eurasia sentiment.' This is called
being Turkish, being local. This is
called balance," (6) discussing Ankara's
relations with the West and with Russia.
The Turkish editorialist opined that
Ankara's statement supporting Westen
hits against Syria “created
disappointment in Moscow.” But, “"What
we have been saying from the very
beginning is: Assad is a killer. Assad
is a tyrant. Russia, which Assad called
to Syria, has spilled at least as much
blood as Assad and caused as much pain
as Assad. Just like Iran. Just like the
Iran-backed Hezbollah.”
ATTACKS ON ERDOGAN'S POLICIES ALSO
APPEARED IN THE RUSSIAN MEDIA
In Russia itself, many analysts
criticize the pro-Turkish illusions of
Moscow. The pro-Turkish feeling is the
fact of pro-Erdogan's affluence
networks, linked to supporters of the
Muslim Brotherhood. And every day more
minority. The "geopolitics of emotion"
is a bankruptcy and Ankara's approval of
the Western strikes of April 14 is the
nail that seals the coffin of this one!
It will be noted that criticism of
illusions about Turkey has reached the
Russian state press (Sputnik Armenia).
But also the disillusionment of the
leader of "Rightist Eurasism", Douguine.
Evoking the failure of the ghostly
"Eurasian Axis" (Russian-Turkish).
Rightist Eurasism, cluttered with a
cultural, religious and esoteric
ideological jumble, is precisely the one
who has mistakenly assimilated, in the
contempt of history, "pantouranism" (or
"pan-Turkism") to a "Turkish Eurasism".
...
So attacks on Erdogan's policies also
appeared in the Russian media. Russian
‘Sputnik Armenia’ journalist Arman
Vanaeskegian opined that Erdogan is the
biggest loser of the strikes in Syria.
Vanaeskegian stated (7): "The biggest
loser may be Turkey that for the
umpteenth time defected to the rival
side. It is unknown what they personally
promised Erdogan in the West, however in
the most crucial moment he betrayed and
sold out, hoping for major war in the
region in which he would have the chance
not only to get stronger in Afrin but to
progress further in Syrian Manbij and
Iraqi Sinjar. Erdogan hoped greatly that
Russia and America would clash head-on
in Syria."
Russian philosopher Dugin also
criticized Ankara's position. "Now
Erdogan has hesitated once again. Turkey
has once again called for Assad's
overthrow. However, Moscow believes that
not everything is lost, and Putin is
likely to try to establish closer
contact with Erdogan to restore the
Eurasian axis. In any case, Erdogan's
backwards step towards Atlanticism
increases the threat of a new coup in
Turkey. If he wavers, they will take him
down, since the Atlanticists will never
forgive his recent flirting with Russia.
Erdogan has lost the trust of all sides.
Since Russia allowed the Turks to take
Afrin, Erdogan's behavior can be
considered a gross ingratitude akin to
the downed plane," Dugin wrote,
referring to the AKP's internal
divisions on the Syrian crisis.

“RUSSIA-TURKEY-IRAN COALITION DOES NOT
EXIST”
(IBRAHIM KARAGÜL,
AKP MOUTHPIECE 'YENI SAFAK', APRIL 14,
2018)
Below are other anti-iranian propaganda
excerpts from Karagül's editorial:
“(Iran) is only concerned about… moves
to expand to the Mediterranean
coastsjust as it reached Yemen ...
"There is no longer a Syria war. There
is no longer a fight in which the
Syrians are a side, which can be
outlined with the future of the Syrian
people and nation. There is nobody other
than Turkey who cares about Syrians,
Syria's integrity or existence anyway.
There is nobody making sacrifices or
showing loyalty to assist the Syrian
people, to support them, to share their
pain, or to help them return to normalcy
either. No country other than Turkey
cares in a 'humanitarian' manner, nobody
comprehends the notion of the oppressed,
and nobody is mourning those massacres.
"There is no such issue for Iran. It is
only concerned about map efforts, moves
to expand to the Mediterranean coasts,
and clearing the path to greater
massacres to form a bigger area of
action for itself. It is only concerned
about reaching the Mediterranean coasts
just as it reached Yemen; it cares only
about its imperial ambitions. The
massacres it is responsible for in
Aleppo, its attacks based on its
sectarian identity and opportunistic
outbursts are like a ruthless history
book.
Saudi Arabia And The UAE Have Been
Acting As 'The Western Occupation's
Leading Forces'
"As for Saudi Arabia, the United Arab
Emirates (UAE) and some Arab countries,
they couldn't care less if all of Syria
is destroyed. They have been acting as
the Western occupation's leading forces
for the last three decades. Through this
role, they destroyed Iraq, Syria and
Libya. They are the leaders of regional
occupation, and the forces and countries
who call the foreign troops to these
lands.

(3) The Gray Wolves (Bozkurtlar in
Turkish) s an ultra-nationalist Turkish
armed organization1. The movement is
described as neo-fascist,
anti-communist, anti-Greek,
anti-Kurdish, anti-Armenian, homophobic
and anti-Semitic. He has very close
relations with the Nationalist Action
Party (MHP), which he describes as his
paramilitary branch.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
will have done everything to win their
favor: raise the tone against Europe,
toughen the repression of pro-Kurdish
circles and revive the debate on the
death penalty. The ultra-nationalists of
the MHP - the Nationalist Action Party -
have been at the center of attention
ever since Erdogan joined with them to
implement a constitutional revision that
significantly strengthened his powers, a
text submitted to referendum, which the
MHP helped win.
The rapprochement between Erdogan and
Bahçeli may surprise. The two men, who
share a virile political style, have
exchanged very hard words in the past.
Erdogan, who now compliments his old
enemy, made a symbolic gesture by
visiting the grave of MHP founder
Alparslan Türkes to commemorate the 20th
anniversary of his death.
Going even further, Prime Minister
Binali Yildirim has carried out the hand
of the Gray Wolves, an ultra-nationalist
faction associated in the past with
numerous political assassinations
targeting Kurdish or leftist militants.
The challenge for Erdogan is to
"convince the fascist nationalists that
he is the first of the Gray Wolves". The
way forward is tight for Mr Erdogan, who
must give a guarantee to this electorate
without totally alienating the Kurdish
conservatives, a non-negligible fringe
of those who traditionally vote for the
AKP.
(4) On November 24, 2015, a Turkish
fighter shot the Russian bomber Su-24:
the same day, a video interview of
Syrian Turkmens shooting one of the
pilots, parachute and defenseless, was
widely broadcast on the internet. Their
leader was quickly identified: Alparslan
Celik, son of an official of the
Nationalist Action Party MHP and active
member of his youth army branch, the
"Gray Wolves".
The Gray Wolves appeared in the late
1960s when the National Action Party and
its leader, the notorious Fascist
Colonel Alparslan Türkes, needed a youth
wing - the Turkish analogue of the
Hitler Youths, so to speak. The
organization was named "Gray Wolves".
