On March 31, two militants of the outlawed terrorist organization, the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C) broke into Istanbul's Çağlayan Courthouse and killed a prosecutor named Mehmet Selim Kiraz after holding him hostage for eight hours. The dead bodies of the two militants were seized during an operation launched at the moment the prosecutor was killed. The next day, another terrorist attack took place at the entrance to Istanbul's Police Headquarters. A female militant targeted police with her automatic weapon after the grenade she threw at police did not explode, and she was shot dead in an exchange of fire with the police. The DHKP-C is a dangerous organization known as a "subcontracting group." After an attack in 2001, it entered into a period of inactivity that lasted about a decade. The organization suddenly reappeared during the summer of 2012. It began to target particularly police headquarters, the U.S. Embassy, the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) headquarters and ministries.This organization, which engaged in violent activities between the 1970s and 1990s in order to provoke a revolution in the country by starting a civil war in cities, must have already understood that such methods would not work either in Turkey or anywhere else in the world where similar conditions prevailed. The USSR and revolutionist violence are things of the past. For this reason, this organization is called a subcontracting agent. It is not a mere coincidence that the DHKP-C were revived during the period when the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) started to negotiate with the Turkish state to cease the armed conflict. Just after the first delegation headed to İmralı Island where the PKK's leader Abdullah Öcalan was imprisoned on Jan. 3, 2013, the AK Party headquarters, which was then Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's office and the Justice Ministry, which took over the coordination of the process, were targeted by the organization. This creates a distinct impression that efforts were exerted to replace the PKK with the DHKP-C.After the prosecutor Kiraz was killed on March 31, operations were launched against this organization in various provinces. One suspect was detained during one of the operations: Stephan Shak Kacnyski, an individual of Polish origin who was born in Germany and has an English passport. He is allegedly affiliated with the German intelligence agency BND, and enabled an information flow between the superiors of the organization based in Europe and Turkey. He allegedly acted as a courier conveying orders between the parties, and entered Turkey about a week ago. To the leaders of the organization, he transmitted the orders and information about certain plots, which were aimed at destabilising Turkey and introducing chaos into the country before the elections. The terrorist group then acted upon this information.In 1996, the DHKP-C broke into the headquarters of Sabancı Holding, which belongs to one of the wealthiest industrialist families in Turkey, and killed Özdemir Sabancı and his two assistants. One of the assailants, Mustafa Duyar, was arrested and executed in prison. However, the other assailant, Fehriye Erdal, was apprehended in Belgium and not returned to Turkey for years. She was protected and eventually released. It is claimed that this organization is guarded by Germany, Netherlands, Greece and Italy. All of these events are significant incidents that are taken seriously by the government, and about which files are occasionally presented to high-ranking officials, including the president and the prime minister. But a more interesting case is taking place inside Turkey. The secular and elite strata, which is directly responsible for the Kurdish, Alevi and non-Muslim problems in Turkey, are acting as if they were members of the PKK or the DHKP-C by reacting against the AK Party and Erdoğan. While following a provocative strategy with their media outlets and NGOs to prevent the PKK's disarmament, they have gone as far as to declare the murderers of Kiraz heroes. The partial stories broadcast and published by their media outlets, particularly Hürriyet and CNN, have caused a stir in the country. These media outlets were almost all involved in terrorist propaganda. The writers and program hosts of these outlets created heroes out of murderers on social media. Turks are living through interesting times. Elite secularists have sought ways to ally with nearly every group in order to prevent the rule of popular will. They have even attempted to ally with murderous organizations such as the DHKP-C. We are observing this as a case from which to draw a lesson with great interest.
