Turkish President Abdullah Gul
Where is Turkey, and where it can turn together with the countries themselves, one way or another connected with it, whether in matters of regional or global politics? This question becomes relevant again after starting last week of November 2009, almost the entire country is creeping Kurdish rebellion, has already received a number of global media the name of "Kurdish intifada" – a reference peaceful uprisings against the occupation of the Palestinian Arabs Israel. What does this all relate to the Transcaucasus, the entire Caucasus region? Exploring Kurdish sources, it appears that is not the last. And in all these conversations and analytical reasoning, and attempts to forecast frankly amateurish predictions and finds a place subject thwarted by the Turkish authorities, and even more still coming military coup in this country. Which, of course, must rely on external support – Guess with three times, helping the revolutionaries of this country which is mainly concerned. Apparently, in the wave of arrests of participants of the "Kurdish Intifada" and the number of leaders of the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party (DTP) that the Turkish government launched after the issuance by the Constitutional Court's verdict on the prohibition and dissolution of the PDO (December 11), something has gone unnoticed for the vast majority of world opinion. In Anyway, Turkish President Abdullah Gul, as the Turkish journalists channel CNN Turk, asked during his intvervyu question about the threat of revolution and eventual ownership of the number of senior military officials, were good reason to talk about this topic.
Paradoxically, a remarkable and dramatic increase in regards to participation in the Parliament and Government of the layers of military retirement and senior officials graduating from different security services was visualized. Without a doubt, the war of the six days of the year 1967 and its influence on the image of the military before the public layer determined a turning point of a trend that is invigorated with the years until reaching a record with the Parliament and Government, which completed its mandate in these days. In the forty years that alienate the war of the six days of the last Parliament, the number of their members with a degree of General and hierarchs of retired security services went from 4 to 14. In the Government, in the same period, their participation grew from 3 to 10. It is worth mentioning that while changes in both fields of action were similar in magnitude, in regards to the specific weight there is a big difference. While in Parliament at its peak (2006-2008) only arrived representing not more than 12%, in the framework of the most important decisions, the Government its specific weight arrived at almost 40% in the same period. Another demonstration that highlights the growing trend in Israel retire from the army and continue in the political race emerges from analysis of the behavior of the commanders in Chief of the army since the creation of the State these days. Of the 18 army commanders removed since the creation of the State to date, 11 (61%) were devoted to politics with his retirement.
