HURRIYET- We can see that the terrorist PKK's strategy has been directed since 2004 not in line with the interests of the Kurds, but those of the US.
The PKK is striking in the name of the US.
The aim is to destabilize the Turkish army, disgrace it in public and destroy its influence in Turkish political life.
In this way, the military's sway will be dissolved, and the US designs on critical issues, mainly on Cyprus and northern Iraq, will be easily realized.
In this conflict, the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government is on the US side against its own army .
At the end of this process, religious circles are expecting the establishment of an Islamic state.
No one realizes that if the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) collapse, the country will also collapse, or at least turn into another Pakistan or Afghanistan.
Moreover, friends of the US in the media are conducting a psychological war against the TSK and nationalist circles in the name of the US and the PKK. This involves all sorts of disinformation and betrayal.
But.
The weapons to be used in this psychological war aren't anger and pressure, but facts and reality.
Anger causes weakness and casts a shadow over whoever is angry.
The TSK should face criticism by questioning itself and solving its problems. This is the way public suspicions should be dispelled.
An advisory network should be formed for media relations.
Top commanders should avoid direct contact with the media, unlike in the recent incident, and should avoid belligerence, and instead should leave these matters to their press and public affairs units.
No one should be doubt that one day the facts will come home.
