Since it is difficult for the main opposition party, which in our case is the Republican People's Party (CHP), to admit it will not have even a small chance of coming to power through democratic elections, the party convinces itself that those in power will be beaten by means other than elections. That is the reason why the CHP uses illegal wiretaps as political tool. We are experiencing a new era of politics in Turkey. A secret organization is entrenched deeply in the Turkish state and is trying to shape politics by being the main political actor without being a legal political actor. And the opposition is counting on this actor's illegal power. The dream is to make Turkey an ungovernable country and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, a criminal.Raids on trucks of the National Intelligence Agency (MIT), wiretapping, and blackmail all indicate cooperation between some police, judges, and prosecutors of this parallel state. Last Monday, on the day when Daily Sabah was first published, a new wiretapping scandal erupted. The public prosecutor of Istanbul confirmed 2,284 people had been wiretapped for three years without any substantial cause. But on the same day just hours later, another illegal wiretap recording appeared on the Internet that was purportedly a conversation between Erdogan and his son. Apparently those who released this wiretap wanted to distract the public's attention from the huge wiretapping scandal that targeted thousands of innocent Turks.The Dec. 17 operations, raids on trucks, release of disputable tapes, and attempt to depict the AK Party government in alliance with al-Qaeda shows there is no doubt that the parallel state forces' goal is to criminalize Erdogan and his close circle and make his government incapable of governing Turkey. Since they know that it is impossible to beat the AK Party in the ballot box, they release illegal recordings to blackmail politicians, bureaucrats and journalists. It is a pity to see the cooperation between these illegal parallel state actors and the opposition parties.We, the democrats of Turkey, have been struggling for a country free from military tutelage. But while struggling against the military tutelage, we wanted to free our country of all sorts of tutelage actors. At the end of the day, we unfortunately see that the forces who helped the AK Party government defeat military tutelage did so in order to create their own tutelage -a Gülenist tutelage. The recent developments are the weapons of these actors they collected over the years.But they are daydreaming. Erdogan is still the most powerful political actor and it is impossible to implement a shadow democracy in Turkey.
