My new piece:
Three recent incidents indicate that #Erdogan has been getting ready for a significant move, probably a transformation that will change Turkey forever.
Elevated Police Intel
ISIS leader's ties to Turkey
A Pathway to Caliphate

@TIJournalism So, here are a few details:
On January 17, 2020, Erdogan issued a new presidential decree, elevating the status of the Turkish National Police TNP Intelligence Dpt. to a Directorate, essentially to a #Mukhabarat for the protection of his regime through torture, kidnappings, etc.

@TIJournalism The second, development took place during a January 2, 2020 speech:
#Erdogan said, “We have come to a point where we can longer ensure the security of our cities and maintain the order inside with police forces. In the face of this new situation, we need to develop new methods.”
#Erdogan said, “We have come to a point where we can longer ensure the security of our cities and maintain the order inside with police forces. In the face of this new situation, we need to develop new methods.”
@TIJournalism At the time, nobody knew what Erdogan meant.
Takan, an advisor of former President Gul, asked if he meant a TURGEV (Erdogan's foundation) law enforcement agency or the SADAT army.
#SADAT serves as Erdogan’s backup security force.
Takan compared today’s Turkey to 1936 Germany.

@TIJournalism Dec 16, @k_gozler, a constitutional law prof. published “The Value of Islamic Law: Could Islamic Law Pose an Alternative to Western Law?”
arguing these developments are a clear indication of Erdogan’s preparations to shift Turkey’s legal system to an Islamic theology-based one.

@TIJournalism @k_gozler 3rd bombshell:
The new leader of #ISIS, Iraqi Turkman Amir Mohammed Abdul Rahman al-Mawli al-Salbi, a very well known figure to the Turks.
His brother Adel Salbi is the representative of the Turkmen Iraqi Front (ITF) in Turkey with close ties to the #MIT, Turkish Intelligence!

@TIJournalism @k_gozler 4th:
On Dec 23, 2019, Adnan Tanrıverdi, Erdogan’s chief military advisor & the dir. of paramilitary SADAT, said
"his organization has been working to pave the way for the long-awaited #Mahdi (prophesied messianic redeemer of Islam), for whom the entire Muslim world is waiting.”

@TIJournalism @k_gozler TNP intelligence has been extremely loyal to #Erdogan since 2014.
They let the #ISIS October 2015 suicide attacks happen at the Ankara train station (killed 109 & wounded over 500).

@TIJournalism @k_gozler The European Union Intelligence and Situation Centre (EUINTCEN) released a report suggesting that the #ISIS Ankara suicide bombing
“may have been committed on the orders of Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (#AKP).”
“may have been committed on the orders of Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (#AKP).”
@TIJournalism @k_gozler So, my conclusion:
All signs indicate that #Erdogan is getting ready for the worst-case scenario to stay in power.
This time democratic means are not going to be enough to keep him in power even if Erdogan continues to corrupt the election processes.
