An analysis by Birol Kilic from Vienna on the 100th anniversary of the friendship treaty between Turkey and Austria
Vienna (OTS) – The government in Ankara repealed the binding constitution of the Turkish Republic in the Turkish Parliament (TBMM) on January 30, 2024. And in Vienna and Ankara, the 100th friendship treaty between the Turkish and the Austrian Republics of January 28, 1924 is being celebrated with the hypocritical memory of the founder of modern Turkey, Atatürk, even though everyone knows that Atatürk is turning in his grave.
EU and EU countries remain silent – appeasement policy
The wrongfully imprisoned Turkish human rights lawyer Can Atalay was deprived of his parliamentary mandate in the Turkish Parliament on January 30, 2024 by the AKP and the coalition majority, even though the Turkish Republic had called for the imprisoned person’s immediate release in a constitutional resolution. The government in Ankara is actually trampling on the Turkish constitution in the Turkish parliament TBMM. To make others ashamed!
Atalay, previously a member of parliament for Hatay province, lost his mandate on Tuesday due to a final verdict that was read in Atalay’s absence in parliament in Ankara. Opposition MPs repeatedly interrupted the reading of the verdict yesterday with boos and held up placards reading “Freedom for Can Atalay”. According to experts, the first failure to implement the judgments of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Turkey, through a decision of the Court of Cassation, may lead to the Constitutional Court no longer being considered by the ECtHR as an effective domestic remedy.
“Limits of Lawlessness in Turkey”
Rıza Turmen (*1941 in Istanbul), Turkish diplomat and former judge at the European Court of Human Rights, published a warning analysis in the well-known Turkish internet newspaper T24 on January 8th, 2024 with the title, “Limits of lawlessness in Turkey” with the following words I wrote a long analysis in Turkish, where I may, with your permission, translate the short part into German without comment: “I am ashamed to have to write this article. The point we have reached in lawlessness triggers shame and sadness. But it also scares me. In a country where there is such lawlessness, anything can happen. When you combine this situation with the one-man regime in Turkey, the fact that the law in this regime is the judgment of one man becomes even clearer. Article 153 of the Turkish Constitution is very clear. Accordingly, the decisions of the Constitutional Court are binding for the legislative, executive and judicial bodies and must be implemented. This provision applies to all decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Turkey.
Another consequence of not implementing the Constitutional Court’s ruling can be found in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The preamble to the declaration reads: “To prevent people from resorting to rebellion as a last resort against domination and oppression, it is important that human rights are protected through the rule of law.” In other words: If human rights are not protected by the rule of law, it is legitimate for people to rebel against rule and oppression. This resistance is justified. Because with the disappearance of the rule of law, the fundamental rights and civil liberties of the individual are deprived of their legal guarantee. With the arbitrary power of the sovereign, the police in Turkey can knock on the door of any dissident in the morning. Anyone who remains silent accepts oppression and domination.
It is a moral obligation to defend ourselves against oppression, domination and arbitrariness.
If no voice is raised against lawlessness, lawlessness becomes limitless. Where it begins and where it ends is left to the will of the sovereign. If the objection to lawlessness becomes a social opposition, then at least the limits of lawlessness become clear and predictable.” (Full article here)
We are losing modern Türkiye!
We are losing modern Turkey and have a country with 100 million inhabitants at the gates of the EU in which the judiciary (Adalet), the separation of powers, freedom of the press, human rights, the free secular democratic basic order and the Turkish constitution and thus the rule of law are out of the question and everything that has been fought for in Turkey in terms of democratic rights over the last 185 years is being trampled on a daily basis and the people have been driven mad by the government in Ankara and reactionary fascists over the last 20 years.
Under the guise of religious immorality
Nobody should feel malicious joy here, openly or secretly. The government in Ankara and its reactionary and sectarian fascist allies have transformed Turkey, under the guise of religion, into an incredibly depraved “moral-free” “de facto center of the world mafia where everything is for sale” that is second to none, and it is the swamp of EU, into which this country with its 100 million inhabitants is repeatedly drawn into a madness (“cinnet”).
Why is the EU exporting instability to Turkey?
The EU as a peace project, where I am very constructive and positive, which should actually export stability to the neighboring regions or to the full members of the EU, does the opposite in the case of Turkey. The EU exports instability to Turkey. Hence this appeasement policy. We have to warn. This can not go well. What you sow, you reap today, tomorrow, if not tomorrow, then the day after. Turkey must no longer be seen as the EU’s “garbage bin” for illegal refugees and the corrupt money per capita for each illegal refugee, as Italian Prime Minister Meloni tried to do in Turkey last week and citizens in Turkey protested.
We know that the official business runs on EU funds “illegal refugees to Turkey” per capita Payments by corrupt and greedy politicians in Turkey are good under the guise of “we are pushing it to southern Europe”, but against the interests of the Turkish citizens of Turkey. Maybe that’s why the EU’s appeasement policy?
