It is, of course, important that we find the organization or political mind that carried out the deadly Saturday massacre. But a more important point is why it was done and whose benefit it served.

The first motivation that comes to mind is obvious; cutting off Turkey's contact with the region and rendering the country unstable. The second motivation is to affect the Nov. 1 elections. In other words, the perpetrators aimed to kill two birds with one stone...

Those planning this horrendous attack know very well that the opposition bloc wants to prevent the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) from coming to power alone due to deep-rooted political feelings in Turkey. But they are constantly failing to defeat the AK Party at the ballot box. So, some action might have been taken to change this picture.

With only 20 days before the elections, the political picture also indicates the same. Even the most pessimistic reviewers are saying that the picture will not change in favor of the opposition, but might change in favor of the AK Party. In other words, the AK Party might come to power alone after the Nov. 1 elections. The reason is clear; it has a strong base, which comprises of 41 percent of the electorate. The party has also looked promising during the election campaign process with its declarations and deputy list.

The Republican People's Party (CHP) follows the AK Party with its relatively reconciliatory policies, but its vote share can increase only a few points. On the other hand, the situations of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) and the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) do not seem promising. In particular, the HDP's inability to take a certain stance in the face of PKK terror prevents the party from increasing its vote share. The party might even lose votes given by those that are out of the HDP's base in the June 7 elections. The most attention-grabbing change in this process is that HDP Co-Chair Selahattin Demirtaş, who was honored with media praise thanks to his slogan, "We will not make you the president," and the story written on Kobani before the June 7 elections, has been rendered incapable. Stuck between integrating into Turkey and the PKK terror, Demirtaş has been constantly losing altitude. Therefore he was in need of a new break.

MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli's condition is no different, either. Bahçeli has no possibility of obtaining any positive results from his policy of refusing everything. His demeanor pushed the limits of the mind, and even political experts are unable to understand what Bahçeli is thinking.

So, the aim of this deadly terrorist assault was to make Turkey become more introverted and provide assistance to this pessimistic viewpoint. The plan worked. Even when people were struggling to recover from the shock and grief of the attack, the entire opposition bloc put the blame on President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the government.

Also add the parallel state, the Doğan Media Group and Istanbul to this picture, as the ones always targeting Erdoğan. Those groups that are consistently actively hostile toward Erdoğan each day, have become even more reckless since the terrorist assault. Let's look at some of the reactions following the terrorist attack.

Demirtaş declared the state a murderer, and their daily newspaper, Özgür Gündem, put a caption that reads, "Your palace will be destroyed..." Also, Can Dündar, the editor-in-chief of the daily Cumhuriyet, told a lie, saying, "The target is to transform the system, which is said to have changed de facto into a martial rule regime by shedding streams of blood," in an article titled "400 deputies." These claims are not a mere coincidence.

Many writers, from Hasan Cemal to Faruk Bildirici, also embraced the same lie. However, they know better than anyone that such terror attacks would not benefit the AK Party. Remember the assault organized on June 5 at the HDP's Diyarbakır rally. Even HDP proponents remarked that those bombs did not favor the AK Party, only the HDP.

The same game is being played once again. And their motivation is not that covert; they wish to prevent the AK Party from coming to power alone. For this they think either "coup dynamics" should be kept alive or a coalition should be forced.

Unfortunately, our opposition bloc, including its politicians, businessmen and journalists, do have such a mentality. For this reason, we cannot even unite against terror. The people have the most important share of the duty again; they will make their decision on Nov. 1.
