on Davos forum spat: some personal thoughts

Merak edilmekte olan husus ise sudur; - 20150707 collective defence img 375


From: _javid@…_ (mailto:javid@…)

I think the position taken by Turkey in this conflict was
strategically
right. Although the implementation of strategy wasn’t worked out
well in terms of
PR, it’s actually beneficial for Israel. Why?

Turkey is truly becoming a leader of the Muslim world, and instead
of being
an alien bystander, once more taking in hands the moral authority
once held
by Ottomans. It’s a well calculated policy, and Turkey is already
influencing
not only the politics but also the hearts and minds of all
Muslims
(sufficient to say that entire MidEast lives watching Turkish soap
operas and
television nowadays). Being the leading major secular democratic
Muslim nation, NATO
member with EU aspirations, Turkey has an excellent chance to
become a
respected Muslim superpower and a party to deal with in all
matters pertaining to
Islamic world… and it already is now.

Shimon Perez, being a brilliant veteran politician and a Nobel
Peace prize
winner knows this very well, which is why he called Erdogan
further to say he
was sorry about what happened. Because it is in Israel’s and US
best interest
to work with democratic secular Turkey on all Muslim issues,
instead of
doing so with a divided, mostly corrupt and radical Arab
statehoods. It’s better
for Israel to have Turkey as a representative of Islamic world
than
irrational Ahmadinejad who threatens to erase Israel. And this
position taken by
Turkey will actually seriously weaken Iran’s influence in the
Muslim Middle East
but such policy requires getting the hearts of Muslim folk first,
which is
precisely what Turkey is doing.

But, Erdo gan was not the right person to deliver this Turkish
message. His
behavior was unprofessional, his speech delivered in Turkish
instead of
English was far weaker and irritating than that of Shimon Perez.
This shows that
Erdogan is an excellent strategist but a horrible diplomat. Doing
so in
perpetration by an Armenian-American host was not appropriate. I
am not sure who
arranged for David Ignatius to be the host of this panel, and
perhaps, Erdogan
was unaware of it, but a positive side is that even as a host of a
major
global forum, a person of diaspora Armenian descent was unable to
hold off his
biases and let Erdogan finish his talk.

Regards,
Javid

Ilk paragrafdaki goruslere katiliyorum. Sayin Erdogan’i Islam
Dunyasi’nin
Chavez’i yapmak planlamasi, Bush yonetimince karara baglanmisti.
Arap
ulkelerine giren Turk TV dizileri programi da Bush yonetimi
doneminde olmustur. Bu
kararin Obama yonetimince de surdurulecegi sinyallerinin
guclenmesi, ABD’nin
devlet politikasinin fakli hukumetlerce degismeyecegini
dogrulamistir.

Merak edilmekte olan husus ise sudur;

1 – Sayin Erdogan’i Islam Dunyasi’nin basina getirmek isteyen
gucler, ABD
politikalarinin disinda bir karar alma ihtimalinde, Sayin
Erdogan’a yonelik
nasil bir tepkide bulunurlar?

2 – Tumu ile bir birlik teskil edecek olan Turkiye liderligindeki
bir Islam
dunyasina karsi, Judeo-Hristiyan ve Muslumanlar olarak
tanimlanabilecek III.
Dunya Savasi’nin baslatilabilmesi icin gerekli nedenler
Huntington’u hakli
cikarabilir mi?

Son paragrafta ise yanlis ifadeler kullanilmis. Siyasi lider
olabilmek icin
diplomat tavrini elden birakmamam diye kural yoktur. Diplomatlar,
siyasilerin
aldiklari kararlari savunmak ve kabul ettirmek ile yukumludurler.
Sayin
Erdogan’in ic politikasindaki yanlislara karsin, dis politikadaki
agirligi,
yanlizca bolgesel degil, ayni zamanda kuresel bir lider sifatina
layik oldugunu
dogrulamistir. Her ne kadar esanlamli gorunuyor olsa da, her
baskanin lider
sifati tasidigi gibisinden bir kural yoktur.

Liderler, baskan olmadan da kitleleri arkalarindan
surukleyebilirler.
Davos’da dun yasayan olaylar bu tezi dogrulamis ve bugun butun
Islam alemi Sayin
Erdogan’i lider olarak gorur olmuslardir. Bu liderligin Iran’in
uluslararasi
arenadaki gucunu de zayiflatacagi goz onunde bulundurulursa, dunku
toplanitadaki kurt politikaci Sayin Perez’in hircin ve sert tavri,
bilhassa da sozleri
ile Arap temsilci yerine Sayin Erdogan’i hedef almasi, her iki
liderin de
siyaset satrancini cok guzel oynadiklarini dogrular. Bundan sonrasi
ise artik
stratejistlere kalmistir.

Hedef ne olursa olsun David Ig natius’un o toplantida moderator
olmasi, Turk
Milleti icin bir hakarettir. Isvicre denilen dunya elit bankasinin
pis bir
yaptirimidir. Ignatius’un moderator olarak orada bulunuyor
olmasindan Sayin
Erdogan’in haberi olmamasi imkansizdir. Eger ki hakikaten haberi
olmamissa,
Isvicre’deki tum Disisleri ekibi Dolapdere’de isportacilik yaparak
ulke
ekonomisine fayda saglasinlar diye Turkiye’ye cekilerek,
Buyukelcilik kadrosunun
tumuyle yenilenmesi gerekir.

Son olarak da, Islam Ulkeleri liderligi ugruna Ermeni iddialarinin
soykirim
olarak tanimlanmasi pazarligi, kapali kapilar ardinda yapilmis ve
kabul
edilmisse, Turk tarafindan bu karara imza atacak her sorumlu,
Turkiye’de idam
karari tekrar yururluge sokulduktan sonra vatana ve millete ihanet
ile
yargilanmalidir.
