Erdogan’s response to Arinc, the MHP and the limits of the reform



[ad_1]

There are many people in the AK Party who do not care about the fact that Osman Kavala and even Selahattin Demirtaş were not released despite the decisions of the ECHR and AYM. This wing, which we can call members of the AK Democratic Party, is also unsatisfied with the environment of security pressure that began in 2013 and gained momentum after 2016. The resignation of Berat Albayrak and the subsequent rhetoric of reform created a wave of enthusiasm. within the party in this regard.

However, in the face of the overlapping statements of Bülent Arınç and Cemil Çiçek, they did not say “Oh, how beautiful, what is the right thing”, on the contrary, “Oh, the crisis will arise, now is not the time”. There were even those who described this situation as ‘sabotage’.

Because they knew that the sudden direction of a vehicle on the road would cause an accident, and it would be healthy to change lanes depending on the road and weather conditions.

In fact, the MHP was particularly concerned about Arınç’s statements regarding Demirtaş and clearly conveyed this to the alliance partner.

On the other hand, it is no secret that Devlet Bahçeli’s support for Alaattin Çakıcı makes the names around him uncomfortable, even if he is not the president.

This time, the Alianza Popular vehicle was not shot down, but it is certain that there was a scare.

Erdogan stopped this impact with his statements yesterday.

Those who think that the AK Party will break the alliance with the MHP in the near future do not know Erdogan at all and forget that the People’s Alliance has created sociological change in the country, and that the nationalist-anti-western wave has found serious buyers.

If reform is to be made, Erdogan will not do it in spite of the MHP, but by persuading and encouraging Bahçeli. Bahceli will undoubtedly determine the limits of the reform.

It would be naive to think that the paradigm formed in the last 7 years will change in 7 days and that we will suddenly become a very free, very democratic country.

Meanwhile, Arınç’s previous advances had created a crisis, but the situation was under control. This time, it will come as no surprise to anyone that he is fired from the Presidential Advisory Board.

Just as Bülent Arınç’s statements about Kavala and Demirtaş put the AK Party in trouble, Ünal Çeviköz’s statements about Biden also put the CHP in trouble.

Biden “will replace the elected government supporting the opposition in Turkey” had created a trump card because the ruling promises when it first appeared.

On the other hand, many people at the CHP reacted harshly to Biden.

While Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu made a statement: “We do not even accept the shadow of any imperial power”, party spokesman Faik Öztrak said: “Let Joe Biden stop bringing water to Erdogan’s mill.”

Now, as if this had never happened, the words of Çeviköz, one of the big names in the CHP, in an online panel organized by the German Marshall Foundation reignited the debate.

I listened carefully to the seminar in case his words were cut out.

Retired Ambassador Çeviköz explains one by one the points where the CHP’s foreign policy perspective differs from that of the AK Party. Follow the ruling that the foreign policy of neutrality, that predictability and reliability lose, which is why you also say that Turkey is alone.

Biden’s task will be strengthened again with the advent of institutional dialogue between the US and Turkey, and Erdogan’s Trump walking through a personal relationship with the changing foreign policy of the Foreign Ministry says Çeviköz was involved. again.

Biden’s panel in the following sections of Turkish-American relations with Turkey to repair the proposal that Trump is what the question may suggest Çeviköz, “Democracy,” says and begins to question the continuation:

“We hope that the Biden administration will place a strong emphasis on the rule of law, democracy, de-politics of the judicial system, the separation of powers, democratic reforms, all fundamental rights and freedoms such as the media, expression and freedom of assembly. Biden’s management must demand them and develop trade in return. “

How could Çeviköz not think that his words would provoke a reaction, while the debates about Biden’s support for the opposition a month ago were in the middle?

Are you not aware of the growing anti-American and liberationist nationalist-effective rhetoric that it is not just in Turkey, nationalists-conservatives on a serious nationalist basis?

He may have a background in diplomacy, but Çeviköz follows a clumsy path in politics.

Otherwise, he could have calculated that these statements would put his party in a difficult position and that Biden’s criticism of Erdogan would increase support for the People’s Alliance at home.

I have to do tests almost every week for our guests and colleagues who have contracted corona.

Last week, I asked the price of the PCR test in a hospital very close to Habertürk. An authorized name called me and said: “Our test price is 700 TL, but we apply a special discount to your channel for 500 TL.” He whispered the “500 TL” part as if it was a great privilege!

Then I called another famous chain of hospitals and they gave me a price of 300 TL for PCR and 500 TL for antibody tests. It was ‘special to me’ again!

When Fatih Altaylı announced that he paid 500 TL for the test and İsmail Saymaz paid 550 TL, I gave the prices they gave me yesterday to the Minister of Health Fahrettin Koca.

Then came the statement that made us all happy: the test price is 250 Turkish lira. Sanctions will be imposed on those who violate the law. The additional fee for the RT-PCR test will be refunded.

Anyone who pays extra money for tests, including Altaylı and Saymaz, should call the hospitals that make unfair profits and ask for their money back.

Meanwhile, I can’t help but think about what these hospitals will do when they get vaccinated, which costs up to 700 TL for a test.

Minister Koca said the vaccine will be administered free of charge to an average of 5 million people in the risk group. Considering that at least half of our country of 80 million people will be vaccinated, a huge income market will emerge.

A black market can occur, especially in the first period when the vaccine will enter the country.

For private hospitals, a reasonable premium price must be determined for vaccines, otherwise we will be misled again …
