[Ankara, Turkey] The two-story-high bust of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk protruding from the side of the Turkish Navy’s headquarters looks down on a busy intersection outside parliament, as if admonishing: “Don’t you dare!”
But 70 years after the death of the secularist Atatürk – the military and political leader who transformed what was left of the Ottoman Empire into modern Turkey – Turks are daring to challenge the establishment, as the January investigation into the Ergenekon organization has shown.
Named after an old Turkish myth, Ergenekon is a network of ultranationalists who have allegedly conspired to kill and plot coups in the name of “protecting Turkey” from the moderate Islamic government that has been in power since 2002.
More than 80 alleged Ergenekon members, including a retired general, have been standing trial since October, charged with subversion and forming a terrorist organization.

calling the people who were locked up without any fair trial during Ergenekon “ultra-nationalists”?
First of all, the Ergenekon shit has been made up by the CIA to blame the Turkish opposition for chaos or what ever.
The government which is in power now, the AKP party, has been founded by a guy called Tayyip Erdogan who came to power by corruption, lies etc. (just like Mubarak came to power) and by aid of the USA government. Their goal is to divide the people in Turkey even more so it will split up so America can take absolute control.
The USA has been in control of Turkey since the military junta of Kenan Evren which was aided by the USA as well.
If you guys want to call the current “Muslim” AKP government democratic, just call them “american democratic” right away. lol they ain’t even real muslims
cheers,
“koko”
