Publish a Middle East Monitor article explains the reasons for the Turkish position of the military coup in Egypt.
It has been nearly a hundred years since the Great Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire during World War One. And based on the promise of recognition from Britain and France, and Arab leaders sought behind independence for the establishment of a unified Arab state, but ended the revolution Arab countries are divided and weak. In Constantinople, the Revolution left a bitter taste of betrayal., And today, with the military overthrow of President Mohamed Morsi in Egypt with the support of some countries in the region, back the specter of a second betrayal.
Direct current causes is not hard to find. Under the rule of the Justice and Development Party, the country experienced an amazing renaissance of the ancient Islamic culture. Leaders see themselves as an integral part of the renaissance and wide may bring stability, prosperity and real democracy to the region. Thus, the military coup against Morsi was unreasonable.
And as reported by Abdel Bari Atwan in an article published recently, it was the expression of the power of anger in a telephone conversation between Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Foreign Minister, Prince Saud al-Faisal:
Erdogan asked: "How can you claim that your state governed by Islamic law, and you will you support Islam and Muslims, and at the same time supporting the overthrow of an Islamist president was elected in free and fair elections?".
MEMO sources in the Gulf and Turkey confirms that this has already been exchanges. Valfaisal Contact Erdogan after the coup to deliver a message from King Abdullah urging the Turks to abandon the Mursi and support for military intervention. Large financial grants from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates for the "interim government" backed by the army in Cairo confirms that its rulers support the coup plotters.
From the Turkish perspective, the Gulf states are not only working double-dealing since the coup, was scathing Ankara in publicly criticizing what he described as Western hypocrisy. With regard to Washington, was the feeling of betrayal Erdogan's more painful because he had met with U.S. President Barack Obama in May, according to sources MEMO Dar their lengthy discussions with respect to Egypt and Syria. Erdogan has left and has the impression that Obama will support and democratic legitimacy of change in Egypt, despite the difficulties. They also agreed to cooperate extensively to end the crisis in Syria. But it turns out later that the United States was aware of the impending coup and did nothing to prevent it. Perhaps one of the participants in the planning and implementation.
For Erdogan, it was back to what happened in 2008 with his Israeli counterpart, Ehud Olmert. By just three or four days of the attack on Gaza, Olmert visited Ankara while Erdogan tried to broker a deal between the Israelis and the Syrians. After positive meetings, left Olmert Turkey without Erdogan informed that he was on the verge of launching a war.
The massive demonstrations throughout Turkey in support of President Mursi is a measure of the Turks feeling about it. Many considered it part of a fierce campaign against the Islamists and in their belief riots in Taksim Square was part of this.
The pain was excruciating, especially because Turkey has given great support for democratic change in Syria. To this end, Ankara has worked hard with its allies in the Gulf and the West. But unfortunately, while Turkey was focusing all its efforts to end the crisis in Syria, showing that the efforts of its allies have secretly sent to overthrow Egypt's president-elect, who had a close relationship with the Turks and many of them had in common. And therefore they are still looking to Morsi as the legitimate president of Egypt.
Turkish point of view, the issue is a matter of principle, not instincts or Machiavellian policies. The military intervention in politics nothing is rejected at a different level Turkish political affiliations. Today, there are almost a national consensus that the military regime is not only backward, but devastating. Moreover, the Turks are comparing between stagnation home under military rule for many years and offered to become one of the fastest growing economies in the world in the light of the democratically elected government.
In the end, there can be two scenarios in Egypt: either be re-Mohamed Morsi, or that the situation will deteriorate with all the political and security implications that Szbbha the area.
In spite of the similarities between their experiences, Egypt differ substantially from Algeria, where the army was able to contain the consequences of the coup in the country, albeit at a huge cost in lives and material resources. It did not deliver him so far.
But in the case of Egypt, there is no guarantee that the situation can be controlled similarly. Brotherhood Muslims in Egypt is the movement mother Per Islamic movements in the region, and based on that it is very likely that there will be leakage of the impact of the coup to countries that have a presence., And on this occasion suggests everything that Islamists will not accept stealing their revolution or sabotage their experience of democracy.
In addition to this, the Muslim Brotherhood are more sophisticated and rooted of the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) in Algeria. Has spent decades mastering the art work in secret. In another statement to the supreme guide of the Muslim Brotherhood Dr. Mohamed Badie, said "We knew before we know prisons authority," a touching reminder of all the parties concerned.
Payment of the Muslim Brotherhood "underground" may lead to a repeat of what happened in Iran in the early fifties. Although the Iranians took two decades to regain their freedom, when Astaduha was through revolution have had dire consequences for the external forces that plotted and carried out the coup against Mossadegh in 1953. From the beginning, considered the Iranian Revolution in 1979 the United States the main enemy of the nation. This Almnzawrosubh since that time pillar of the policy of the Iranian state, which is unheard of two decades ago days certified.
At present, Turkey may seem isolated and lonely, but our sources say they also believe that "history in their favor." Once people tasted freedom, and I realized the power of their collective will, can not be any force, military or other denial or subjected Egyptians are not an exception. When this bounce gambling, and will certainly conspirators and financiers will return to Turkey, begging for help. Will welcome them then only if they were willing to show genuine respect for the will of the people, not only in Egypt but also in their own countries.
