Аврам Гојић Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Kemalizam je i zvanicno mrtav.Turkey's top military leaders resign en masseThe resignations of much of Turkey's military leadership is seen as a new sign of tension between the old guard of the armed forces and a rising Muslim political elite led by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The departures include the army's chief of general staff, Gen. Isik Kosaner, and the officers heading the Turkish ground forces, navy and air force.Reporting from Beirut— Nearly the entire leadership ofTurkey's armed forces departed en masse Friday, local media reported, in the latest sign of tension between the country's once dominant military old guard and a rising pious Muslim political elite.Turkish media reported that the army's chief of general staff, Gen. Isik Kosaner, and the officers heading the Turkish ground forces, navy and air force resigned their posts.Turkey's semi-official Anatolia news agency first quoted the Kosaner as writing, "I resign my post as I deemed necessary." The agency then rescinded the report and described the top general's departure as a "retirement."There was no confirmation of the resignations from the country's political leadership. Transportation Minister Binali Yildirim was quoted by the daily newspaper Today's Zaman as saying that "the state would continue to function" and that he had been told that the officers "have asked for their retirement."The apparent departures mark a significant milestone in the trajectory of Turkey. A North Atlantic Treaty Organizationmember and once-steadfast Western ally, Turkey has moved out from the shadow of nearly 80 years of domination by military figures under the nine-year reign of the Islamist-rooted Justice and Development Party, or AKP, led by the charismatic Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.Analysts said the departures came about after Erdogan's attempts to further bolster the civilian government's control over the military following his party's landslide election win in June."Symbolically, it's the end of the period of the military involvement in politics," said Asli Aydintasbas, a columnist for the daily newspaper Milliyet. "They've been politically paralyzed. This is the symbolic move in which the military is defeated entirely."But even those opposed to the once seemingly impregnable power of the military in Turkey acknowledged that the mass resignations could entail severe political expenses for both the AKP and the country's international reputation."Four of the five top military brass resigning from their post to protest the political authority -- in any country this could create a problem," said Mensur Akgun, head of foreign policy at the Turkish Economics and Social Studies Foundation, a think tank in Istanbul."It can lead to a political crisis, depending on the actions of the opposition parties. They can capitalize on this issue and put pressure on the government."But others said they doubted the incident would harm the country's international reputation."This is part of the normal democratization and normalization process of this country," said Cengiz Aktar, a newspaper columnist and professor of social science at Bahcesehir University in Istanbul. "The military should go back to its barracks once and for all and obey the elected government of the country."Currently, authorities are holding dozens of military officers in jail on what critics describe as flimsy, politically motivated charges. More officers allegedly involved in coup attempts were indicted on this week. Analysts say the military elite has been under pressure to fire those officers who remain in jail on conspiracy charges, even though they have yet to be convicted.The resignations came two days before the annual Supreme Military Council meeting of the top brass and the political leadership to decide on armed forces promotions to be announced later in August. Many speculated that the officers resigned rather than deny promotions to colleagues in jail.

Sirius Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 Kemalizam je i zvanicno mrtav. How Turkey's military upheaval will affect NATOThe resignations of Turkey's top military brass, along with the detention of scores of officers, have sparked fears that the capability of NATO’s second-largest army is being eroded.The resignation of Turkey’s top four military officers last week has been heralded as marking the end of a near decade-long power struggle between the government and armed forces.But the resignations, along with the ongoing detention of scores of officers in what government opponents claim are politically motivated criminal probes, have sparked fears that NATO’s second-largest army could face an operational crisis.On July 29, Chief of General Staff Isik Kosaner, and the heads of the Army, Navy, and Air Force all requested early retirement. Kosaner said it had become "impossible for me to continue serving" due to what he called the unjust detention of 250 serving and retired military personnel, including generals and admirals.Their departures came hours after the indictment of 22 high-ranking soldiers allegedly involved in an Internet smear campaign against the government. It also followed a confrontation with the government over an upcoming meeting of the Supreme Military Council, which makes decisions on military promotions.12 percent of generals, admirals in prisonTraditionally, Turkey’s politicians have merely rubber-stamped the decisions suggested by the Army, but since last year, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has demanded the final say in military appointments.Yesterday, Mr. Erdogan joined remaining senior officers for the four-day meeting in which he could now remold the military leadership.“The resignations alone are not a problem, but the arrests are a far bigger issue,” says Gareth Jenkins, a military analyst in Istanbul with connections to Turkey’s armed forces.“Twelve percent of serving generals and admirals are in prison. You’re getting an erosion not of the political influence of the Turkish military – which is already gone – but of their military capability,” he adds.Turkey is involved in NATO missions in Afghanistan and Libya. But one Turkish fleet currently operating off the coast of Libya, is lacking its commander; Vice Admiral Kadir Sagdic, head of Southern Sea Area Command, was detained last summer on suspicion of plotting a coup.

U međuvremenu je Minsk odbio Putinovu ideju o ujedinjenju dve zemlje. Predstavnik ministarstva spoljnih poslova Andrej Savinič podsetio je na izjavu predsednika Aleksandra Lukašenka da je nezavisnost Belorusije „svetinja“.Ni Južna Osetija ne bi da se priključi Rusiji. „Naš narod se na referendumu 2006. godine izjasnio za nezavisnost i nema nameru da postane deo Ruske Federacije“, izjavio je južnoosetijski ambasador u Moskvi Dmitrij Medojev. Međutim, političari u Južnoj Osetiji pominju eventualno ujedinjenje sa ruskom republikom Severna Osetija.
