Ertuğrul Özkök: Does the “power that locked Ahmet Hoca up there” still want it that way?

First, let's look at the ages of the "people on the mountain":

In other words, the PKK's Imrali and Qandil teams...

(*) Abdullah Ocalan: 76 years old

(*) Murat Karayilan: 71

(*) Standing Shield: 71

(*) Cemil Bayik: 71

The average age of the mountain is 72

The average age of Ankara is 74

Then let's descend from the mountain to Ankara.

(*) Tayyip Erdogan: 71

(*) Devlet Bahceli: 77

Ankara's average age: 74

Those in Imrali and the mountains are responsible for 47 years of terrorism

Almost all six of them were born in the same years.

He studied in the free schools of the Republic.

The PKK was founded in 1978.

So it's a 47-year-old organization.

Those in Imrali and the mountains are responsible as administrators for all 47 years of this problem called “PKK terrorism”.

Bahçeli has been responsible for state policy for 28 years, Erdoğan for 21 years

Devlet Bahçeli became the Chairman of the MHP in 1997.

In other words, for 28 of these 47 years, the party he personally leads has been among those who supported the fight against the PKK.

President Erdoğan , on the other hand, has been ruling Turkey with almost a “one-man” and “one-party” power for 21 years.

In other words, during this period of terror, he was the head of the state that was struggling.

These 6 people, whose average age is 73, bring peace

Now, these 6 people, whose average age is 73, are making the "historical peace" happen.

Those who are, in a sense, responsible for this problem are now deciding to solve it as they approach their mid-70s.

It's a beautiful thing, but let's never forget the demographic responsibility that their age tells us.

Ekrem İmamoğlu What is the average age of Silivri dungeons?

Today, Istanbul's elected Metropolitan Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu , Esenyurt Mayor Ahmet Özer and Şişli Mayor Resul Emrah Şahan were not responsible parties to this war for even one hour of these 47 years.

But now, while those responsible embrace each other, they are being arrested on charges of "terrorism."

Let's also look at their ages:

Ekrem İmamoğlu is 54 years old.

Ahmet Ozer is 65 years old.

Resul Emrah Şahan is 43 years old.

Average age: 54

The seventies blame the forties and fifties

In other words, there is a 20-year difference between the two people who signed this peace in Ankara.

Most importantly, the average age of Ankara, which is 74, accused these four people in the mountains and in İmralı of "supporting the PKK terrorist organization" and "treason" until just 3 months ago.

Now, while he is thanking Ankara, İmralı and Kandil, the elected mayors of Istanbul are still being held in İmralı prisons, accused of treason and terrorism.

On one side, “historical peace”, on the other, “the contradiction and oddity of the century…”

Resul Emrah Şahan So let's ask why is Ahmet Hoca still in prison?

President Erdoğan thanked CHP Chairman Özgür Özel yesterday.

He said that the trustee period would end.

So let's ask.

As of today, why is Ekrem İmamoğlu still in Silivri prisons?

Why is Prof. Ahmet Özer Hoca still in prison?

Why is Resul Emre Şahan still in prison?

Why are the elected mayors of the municipalities to which trustees were appointed still in prison?

Why is Selahattin Demirtaş still in prison?

Why are Osman Kavala, Can Atalay, Çiğdam Mater, Ayşe BarıM and those intellectuals and artists arrested for Gezi still in prison?

So let's ask the judges and prosecutors: Why?

Are they still in prison because the prosecutor and judges made that decision?

So let's ask them.

Honorable judges and prosecutors…

Since the average age of Ankara, 74, shook hands with people he called “traitors” yesterday and people who want peace in this country wholeheartedly support this, how can you still keep these people elected by the people inside by treating them as “traitors and terrorists”?

Selahattin Demirtas Let's remember the famous and ominous words of Yassıada

There is a very important saying that has entered Turkish political life.

You know, the words spoken by a judge in those wretched Yassıada hearings held after the May 27 coup, which was the beginning of all evil...

There, Chief Justice Salim Başol said the following to the late Menderes and his friends:

"The power that locked you up here wants it this way..."

This is the most striking statement that shows that a trial is not legal but political.

A disgraceful sentence for justice…

Is there a power that locked İmamoğlu and his friends up there?

I don't think any prosecutor or judge would think this way today.

But let's know that the public thinks so.

Almost all polls show that at least 6 out of 10 Turkish citizens believe that these arrests are political, not legal.

In other words, the citizens think that "the decision that locked them up there was not legal, but political."

But as of yesterday and yesterday, the situation changed.

That old will in Ankara has now made peace with Imrali and the mountain.

If there is such a reason, it means that that power thought differently as of yesterday.

Because the “terrorism” charge against the arrested mayors has now become obsolete with the dissolution decision of the previous day and especially with the President’s speech yesterday.

Yassıada judge Salim Başol If all that remains is the corruption charge

That leaves the corruption charges.

You can rest assured about this too.

As you know, neither the report from MASAK, nor the statements of the “secret witnesses” nor the well-written statements of the controversial confessors in those corruption files provide a reason that would necessitate detention.

Moreover, President Erdoğan, who has been ruling this country for 23 years, is personally giving you the justification to immediately lift the arrest warrant against İmamoğlu and his friends.

Because in 2002, the same “corruption” accusations were made against the elected Mayor of Istanbul, Erdoğan, with the same sentences, but he was tried without being arrested.

If there is no will in Ankara to lock them up, the responsibility lies with the judiciary.

So, if you are leaving the responsibility to Ankara as the “will that locked them up”…

Know that with his speech yesterday, he has effectively cancelled that will.

They already officially say that this is a legal decision.

Briefly…

As of today, there is no apparent reason for İmamoğlu and his friends to spend another day in Silivri dungeons.

From now on, if there is an independent and impartial justice system, the responsibility lies with the prosecutors and judges of that judiciary.

Ankara now talks about democracy, justice and freedom

Politicians are acquitting themselves of this responsibility.

Devlet Bahçeli , who rested at home for a long time during his illness, performed a service to his country that will leave a pleasant echo in this dome at the age of 77 with very good steps he took.

I do not know whether 71-year-old President Erdoğan is preparing a “pleasant sound” or a “difficult survival” for himself.

But both have a common rhetoric.

They often speak of “democracy,” “justice,” “86 million,” and “freedom.”

To me, these sound like the words of people who are at the age of thinking about “a pleasant sound.”

Judges and prosecutors who do not want to remain in history as Salim Başol

I do not think that any judge or prosecutor would want to leave their name in the same Turkish dome as a sounding name like Salim Başol.

Therefore, I think and hope that the people who distribute justice will read this atmosphere in Ankara well.

As of today, an emptied Silivri could be the first step towards a pleasant sound for both politics and the judiciary.

For people in their 70s, the roads of a nice sedan can only be paved with the stones of true justice that will be laid by judges and prosecutors who love their country and nation.

If real peace is to come to the country…

I think it is time for judges and prosecutors to do their part.
