Oktay Eksi: Intention Should Also Be Right

“…Those who have clear memories remember that “Only (late prime minister and president) Turgut Ozal attended all of the meetings of the (High Military) Board.” Then, Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan attended the meetings without interruption and voted for the appointment and promotion decisions. Thereby he tried to say, “We also have a word of say.” Even though it is in conflict with our habits, if our claim to be “a democratic rule of law,” as written in the Constitution, is right, what the PM did is right too.“There is another thing done right by the PM Tayyip Erdogan: He asked the decisions regarding the expulsion of some officers and non-commissioned officers to be taken by the highest authority the person in question is tied to, rather than by YAS.“…The important thing here is, whether the government is acting as foolishly as trying to plot against the secular Republic behind the veil of compliance with the democratic rule of law. We are interested in that. We will get angry at that point.”�
