They insist on transferring the fire in Syria to Turkey.
First it was Reyhanlı, now it is taking place in Suruç …
Presumably, this fire will continue to burn us as long as Tal Abyad, Kobani, Aleppo and Afrin are Washington's New York's, Brussels's, London's and Paris's neighbors rather than Turkey's.
We had been exposed to Al Qaida attacks in the past.
Fifty-seven people had lost their lives in the attacks which took place in Neve Şalom Synagogue, the British Consulate and HSBC Bank on November 15-20 2003.
This time ISIL attacked.
And once again we saw that Turkey is not a country that supports ISIL, but is rather a country which is victimized by it.
Turkey has been trying to mobilize the international community for the establishment of a safe zone after a stage of the Syrian conflict.
Turkey's suggestion is blocked by the U.S. every single time.
When the situation was not bearable anymore, Turkey was mobilized for a Safe Zone this time, but faced the same objection.
The West, which is led by the U.S., is doing everything possible to ensure that the flames of the conflict in Syria spread to Turkey.
The bloody result is evident…
This time, ISIL hit us within our borders.
Turkey did not create ISIL.
The U.S., -which occupied Iraq and turned a blind eye when Syria turned into a blood bath- created ISIL.
Edward Snowden, a former CIA employee had claimed that American, British and Israeli intelligence agencies were behind ISIL.
Of course, the sociological base consisting of Sunni Arabs who were excluded from the Iraqi administration following the U.S. occupation cannot be ignored.
ISIL sits on such a ground.
However, there are crucial points in Snowden's analyses which cannot be overlooked.
Snowden says that anti-Israeli organizations fight among each other under the scope of a “vespiary” strategy for the security of Israel.
The U.S. stirred Muslim countries through Al Qaeda for years. It occupied Afghanistan and Iraq. And now it is designing our region –especially the Syria-Iraq line- through ISIL.
Representatives from the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) and the outlawed-PKK are aware of this. This design benefits them. They created cantons in Rojova. For them it is more favorable to announce the AK Party and Turkey as the culprit rather than the U.S. This way, their alliance with the U.S. is preserved, while they create an enemy like the AK Party, in order to keep the Kurds close to them in terms of domestic politics.
There are messages given to Turkey through the bloody attack in Suruç.
Unfortunately, this is the Middle East and here, messages are conveyed through blood and terrorism.
It is evident that the massacre in Suruç was professionally planned and the timing was well-chosen.
Two days ago, members of the pro-Kurdish group, Socialist Youth Associations Federation (SGDF) had announced that they would gather in Suruç to cross the border into Kobani.
Around 300 members of the SGDF come to the park. They have breakfast together. The group stays together. A gathering takes place for the press statement which was scheduled for 12:30. Right at that point the suicide bomber pulls the pin.
If we are stuck in analyses which claim that the attack solely targeted Turkey, this would be an insufficient comment.
This message has two addresses:
1.Turkey through Suruç
2.HDP-PYD through Kobani
Members of the SGDF who lost their lives in the blast were planning to cross the border to Kobani, following the press statement at the Amara cultural center. It is evident that they want to convey a message through Kobani, a city that has become a symbol of the fight between the Kurds and ISIL.
It is understood that this attack is a continuation of the attacks carried out in Adana, Mersin, Diyarbakır and the HDP.
HDP co-chairperson Figen Yüksekdağ had said in Suruç: “We lean on the YPJ [Women's Protection Units], YPG and PYD and we do not see any harm in supporting them. We express who we lean on and will continue to do so from now on."
It is evident that the attack is directed towards the HDP and the Kurdish Movement, against ISIL terrorism.
However, the address shown by HDP supporters is wrong.
Cemil Bayık, who called the Kurds to take up arms –one day before the attack- who gave instructions to dig underground tunnels underneath houses, and requested the formation of resistance organizations –daring to initiate city wars- had announced the AK Party as the main actor responsible for the massacre.
“The AK Party government –which supported and fueled ISIL - is responsible for the massacre. The murderer of these youth is directly the AK Party.
The culprit is pre-determined for the HDP, regardless of who carries out the attack and who it is carried out against: it is the AK Party. This mindset prevents us from determining the bloody fingers behind the attacks and realizing the grand plan.
What is surprising is that a statement similar to Bayık's was also made by HDP co-chairman Selahattin Demirtaş. What had Cemil Bayık said? “Our people as a whole should take up arms, train themselves with this principle and organize,” he said.
Bayık had poured out instructions on how to fight as well:
“Underground systems, tunnels and emplacement systems must be developed in villages, cities and districts against attacks of ISIL and all imperialist powers. People should not leave their towns and cities, if they live they must live on their own soil and if there will be death then it should happen on their own soil as well.”
What does Selahattin Demirtaş say?
“Now our people must provide their own security. All of our provincial and local organizations should take their own security precautions.”
Cemil Bayık –who chose the armed struggle- and Selahattin Demirtaş –who chose the political struggle- should not have used the same language.
Selahattin Demirtaş, who obtained 13 percent of the vote with the Turkishization opening, should have acted differently from Cemil Bayık who administers armed attacks.
Demirtaş, who called for sobriety in Diyarbakır before the elections, should not have called people to take up arms.
He should have spoken with the language of Turkishization, rather than the words of Cemil Bayık.
The day was once again a day to make a call to calm.
