Rusen Cakir, a columnist, asked me when this conflict between Dogan Medya and the government will end at an interview at broadcaster NTV on Thursday.

I reiterated my response which I told ahead of the program and said, "I have not launched any fight to anybody. I am not fighting with anybody. What I am doing is only publishing the reports regarding an ongoing court case in Germany,"

 

Yes, this is what we have been doing for the last two weeks.

 

I mean, we are continuing our routine journalism business.

 

It is Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, who launched the fight.

 

Haberin Devamı

He suddenly started insults and slandering for us on Saturday.

 

He said anything he wants, benefiting from his immunity armor because of being prime minister.

I can hardly understand the reason of his anger.

 

I do not feel myself in fight with anybody since I am not angry at anybody.

 

I am even more experienced for this kind of issues given similar problems we had with the previous governments.

 

But, the situation is headed to a dangerous point.

 

The prime minister has started to lose control of his anger completely.

 

I think the speech he made at the breaking fast dinner the previous evening shows his inner world takes him to the dangerous mire of "the one man ruling."

 

His remarks on the alcohol debate with mentioning my name is nothing but making me a target.

 

Haberin Devamı

At first I thought it was just because of his anger when he said "Of course I show a target," on Saturday.

 

It seem that I was wrong

 

Prime minister deliberately shows us a target.

 

In other words he is trying to say, "It us who are strong economically and it is you who are strong physically."

 

He does everything he can in a bid to bring us economically to an end.

 

Anyway, we are accustomed to such moves.

 

Even some politicians threatened us by hiring mafia leaders.

 

Thankfully, we narrowly survived from a couple of bomb attack.

 

The politicians will make us targets but we will continue to do our jobs.

I tried to analyze prime minister's unmeasured anger physiologically over the weekend.

 

Haberin Devamı

This anger seems to be an expression of a big concern.

 

What is this concern for?

 

Is it for Deniz Feneri case?

 

Or is it for the increased corruption incidents in the last two months?

 

The process started with Saban Disli...

 

Deniz Feneri followed that.

 

Then the corruption case related to his ruling party's Batman provincial chairman.

 

Sure, the preparation for the 4,300 re-zoning amendments of Istanbul municipality also drove the attentions.

 

A total 4,300 amendments… I wonder for whom?

 

With a rough calculation, this costs 4,300 times $1 million, amount that Saban Disli claimed to be received in the land scandal.

 

* * *

 

I am not fighting but I am worried because of this question in my mind;

 

Haberin Devamı

"Will this person prepare Turkey's new constitution on the standards of the European Union?"

 

Can a democratic constitution emerge from such a state of mind?

 

No... Absolutely no.

 

Just a "sect act" can come out.

 

Just a "tyrant authorization" can come out.

 

Just a "dictator privilege" can come out.

 

Unfortunately, this is the reality we are facing.

 

Turkey started to be ruled by a "one man ruling" candidate who cannot show tolerance to little opposition, rejection, a free press together with aiming to destroy the others who does not bow to him.

 

I will ask if there is such a depiction for being one man among Copenhagen criteria.

 

I will try to explain them, what "one man ruling" means with examples from European history if they do not understand.
