After Islamic Terror in France, Turks crash Secular Coup, Lynch/Oppress Rebels,Judges,Teachers,Press

*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/(UpDated)/- Immediately after French President Hollande denounced "Islamic Terrorism"'s "Threats", facing the Massacre of 84 Civilian People at Nice by a migrant Truck Driver responding to ISIL's Call to Kill "Americans, Europeans (and)... Citizens of Countries engaged in International Coalition against the Islamic State", controversial Turkish President Erdogan's fans, acting upon Minarets' calls, with cries "Allah Akbar", notoriously Lynched and/or ill-treated Disarmed Young Soldiers POWs (some even "Raped" in Jail, according to Human Rights NGOs), and Launched a Massive Oppression against many Thousands of Political Dissidents throughout all the State sector, Universities, Media and even Private Businesses, due to last during a 3 Months' long period, pretexting of a Strange, Atypical and Failed (Manipulated or Fake ?) "Coup" Attempt of Only "6 Hours", which had Claimed to "Restore ...Human Rights and Freedoms", by a "Peace Movement" (which Immediately ordered Turkish Military Invasion Troops to Withdraw from Iraq, etc), for a "Secular Democracy".
The already almost 18.000 Mass Arrests in Turkey, particularly among Judges (sic !), (reportedly due to be Further Extended also to Many Thousands More later-on), and 50.000 Passports revoked, Hindering Dissidents to Flee Abroad, almost Immediately after a lot of Photos and Videos started to be Published, even at mainstream Media in the EU and accross the World, revealing Horrible Lynching or Grave Ill-Treatments by Brutal Mobs against Young Conscripts Soldiers who had Surrendered, and were either Disarmed, or Abstaining from using their Weapons not even against those who Violently Aggressed them (as a much-sought by Western a.o. Media -including "Skynews", "BBC", "AFP", etc Video clearly proves), obviously Raised several Legitimate Questions.

Strasbourg's PanEuropean CoE Secretary General, Thornbjorn Jagland, a former Prime Minister from Norway and NOBEL Peace Prize Committee chair, slamed as "Unacceptable", "any Attempt to overthrow Democratically elected Leaders", but also Reminded the Fact that "Turkey" is "a Member State of the CoE, which defends Democracy, Human rights and the rule of Law". His long-time Spokesman, and CoE's Communication Director, Daniel Holtgen from Germany, subsequently Published a Tweet, after Turkish President Erdogan reportedly promissed to Think about Calls for official Death Penalty to be reestablished by Ankara, Stressing that, as a matter of General Principle, "No CoE Member State can Execute (a) Death Penalty".

Turkey had notoriously been Obliged to formally Abolish the Official "Death Penalty" Judicial Sanction as part of its attempts Not to be seriously Condemned by the CoE, and particularly its ECHR Judges, about the ill-elucidated Kidnaping of Kurdish Rebels' Leader Ocalan at Nairobi (Kenya), back on early 1999, where he had been pushed to go after his Earlier, Autumn 1998 Attempt to Call from Rome (Italy) for a Cease-Fire and Peace-process to Settle the kurdish issue had backfired, resulting in various Threats of Prosecution, which Obliged him to Try to Flee also through various Other European Countries, including Russia and Greece, etc., before reaching Nairobi, full then of US security services after a recent Terrorist Attack attributed to Extremist Islamic Groupleader Bin Laden. The move had been Closely Followed by CoE, both through its Secretary General and its Committee of Ministers, as well as ECHR, (See several NewsReports published then by "Eurofora"s co-Founder mainly at "MPA" Press Agency).
But Holtgen's tweet was immediately submeged by Comments Urging CoE to act also against "Mass Arrests of Judges" in Turkey, alleged "Street Executions" at Kurdish Areas, and Erdogan's "Islamic Agenda". CoE's Head Spokesman had already anounced, Earlier, that Strasbourg's PanEuropean Organisation for Human Rights, Democracy and Rule of Law Asked Turkey to Explain why 3 Journalists, including even the President of its Human Rights Association, had been Arrested recently, as the European Association of Journalists (HQ in Brussels) Strongly Denounced. He also Noted the Fact that CoE's SG Jagland just met with German Foreign Minister Steinmeier in Berlin to discuss various such Topical Human Rights Pending problems, including about Turkey.

Also CoE's Committee of Ministers' Chair, Estonian Foreign Minister Marina Kaljurand, after "firmly Condemn(ing) the Coup Attempt", just "Call(ed) for the Resumption of the Normal Functioning of Public Institutions", while Mobs were reportedly still at the Streets, (allegedly Provoking, f.ex., Fears by the Alewi Community to be Attacked at Instabul, given the fact that one alleged Rebel Officer was from the Alevi Religious Minority). The current Head of CoE's Highest Political Body also expressed her will for Strasbourg's Organisation to work on Turkey "on the basis of the Principles of Democracy, Human Rights and Rule of Law". She was resuming another Call, by German Chancelor Angie Merkel, to "Solve Turkey's Problems inside the Constitutional order", but also to "Stop the Bloodshed" and "Respect Human Rights" at the aftermath of that 6 Hours-long "Coup". This was Echoed also by French President Hollande who "Expect(s) to see" whether the way Turkey would arrest and judge those involved in the Coup will be "in accordance with the Law".

Incirlik Airtrikes against ISIL's Terrorists Interrupted
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Turkish President Erdogan's Controversial policy on Extreme Islamic Terrorism (+ISIS) fuels various Web Critics... (Satirical Cartoon found spread at the Internet)
Moreover, just 1 day after French President Hollande announced an Intensification of AirStrikes against ISIL's Terrorists following the Massacre of 84 Civilians at Nice, the Erdogan regime in Turkey Cut even Electric Power to Incirlik AirBase, used by the International Coalition against ISIL, after Blocking any entrance and Prohibiting AirFlights there.

According to French Newspaper "Le Figaro", Turkey would practicaly insist for Gulen's Extradition from the USA, until Incirlik AirBase re-opens, while, according to Greek Media "Naftemporiki", Turkish Foreign Minister Cavusoglou said that some Putchists had come from Incirlik, and, therefore, that AirBase would remain Closed as long as Ankara felt Necessary for "Operations " to "Eradicate" such remnants there, i.e. apparently sine die.
A pretext seems to be the Fact that the Governor of that Strategic AirBase, General Van, was just Arrested for allegedly Participating at a Strange, Atypical and Short-lived "Coup" Attempt, which Durated, in substance, just a Few ...Hours, between 15 and 16 July, from approximately 11 p.m. until 2.30 a.m., followed by a few local Clashes.
-------------------------
Atypical, 6 Hours Attempt to Oust Erdogan
------------------------------------------
Unlike any other "Coup" of the Past, this time, Naming their Group "Movement for Peace in the Fatherland", those Army Officers, reportedly claimed to act for "Democracy, Human Rights and Liberty", as well as in order to "Restore the Constitutional order", and called their Supreme Body "Peace Council", promissing to Guarantee People's Safety and Freedoms "Independently of Religion, Race or Language".

Among the most Important Senior Officers who participated is reportedly included also the Head of the "2nd Army", which deals mainly with the Kurdish and ISIL Challenges in Eastern Turkey, at the Borders with Syria, Iran and Iraq. I.e. some among the "Hottest" Issues, since Erdogan's Governments have been notoriously Accused to Excessively Oppress Kurds, but to have, on the Contrary, some Complicities with ISIL's Extreme Islamic Terrorists.

In parallel, the National TV, seized by the Rebels, Anounced also the "Withdrawal of the Turkish Military from Iraq", Austin (Texas, US) based "Stratfor" GeoPolitical Firm reported.

They also claimed to seek to "Restore a Secular and Democratic State", while, on the Contrary, Violent Mobs unleashed by Erdogan's calls against Young Soldiers who rapidly Gave Up, abstaining from using their Weapons, despite Threats of being Lynched, (as many Photos and Videos revealing Mobs' Brutal Violence, published by mainstream European and International Press, but also several Social Media at the Internet, as well as Turkish Newspapers, clearly attest : See Infra), were often Incited, Led or even replaced by various Islamic Imams (f.ex. using Mosques' Minarets to launch Loud Calls in favour of Erdogan), ostensibly traditionaly dressed Islamists, etc. "At least four Disarmed Soldiers were Lynched" by such Erdogan's Mobsters, who Boast that "the Whole Country Belongs to Us", Shouting "Allahu Akbar !", denounced German Newspaper "Die Welt".

In a latest development in this regard, Egypt has just "Vetoed" a Draft Paper on Turkey at UNO's Security Council in New York, by arguying that it was Unclear whether Erdogan's Government was really "Democratic", or not.
On the Contrary, Extremist Islamic Organisation "Muslim Brotherhood"'s Chief Haniyev appeared to Celebrate Erdogan's "Counter-Coup" (which has Jailed more than 6.000 People already) also with a Big Fat Chocolate and Cream Pie arbouring a "Shelfie" Photo with Erdogan inside... (See PHOTO).

Meanwhile, Curiously, more than 2.745 ...Judges (sic !) were reportedly targeted by Arrest Warrants and have Started to be Detained, immediately after that Strange Military "Coup", in relation to which, more than 6.000 People have already been Arrested, according to Turkish Authorities. In Addition, about 1.600 University Rectors and More than 15.000 Teachers are Ousted. Many Dozens of Journalists started to be reportedly Prosecuted, some 50 more Arrested, about 100 Medias were Blocked and/or Prohibited, a lot of Press Workers were Striped of their Professional Card, (etc), even without any direct link to that strange "Coup" attempt.
------------------------

But 8 Officers asked Asylum in neighbouring Greece, while some Groups reportedly still Resisted Arrest around Istanbul and at some Central Mainland Hotspots, added to certain Senior Officers who have Escaped Arrest until now, possibly by fleeing abroad. Meanwhile, Tensions were observed at the Parliament as well as elsewhere, while Erdogan reportedly Blocked all State Agents' trips Abroad unless they might be authorized.
London "Times" reports that "14 Army Ships" would have gone "Missing", are Denied by Ankara, But it's Not yet clear where Admiral Veysel Kosele, the Commander of the Turkish Navy, might be Today. According to British Media "Independent.co.uk", those Ships are "Suspected" to be "Heading towards Greece", but another, perhaps even More Interesting Destination in real practice, may be Egypt, (Comp. Supra).
---------------------------
"Fake" ?
-------------------------------
It's a Fact that this entirely Atypical "Coup", or "Attempt", or "Movement", astonishingly Durated, in substance, Less than ..."6 Hours", as many observers pointed out, Between Friday Evening and Saturday Early Morning (15 to 16 July), too Rapidly "Melting" away OverNight.

So that various European and International Commentators started to Suspect a kind of Tricky Smokescreen, or "Theater", Cinema "Film", etc., for a "Fake" Coup, which might have been Staged, in Fact, by the Turkish Government's Secret Services, probably Manipulating a few, already known, Dissidents, (f.ex. as several former Tsarist regimes in Russia of the Past notoriously used to do, mainly via some "Provocators" with whom they Systematicaly Infiltrated most Opposition Movements).

To this widely ambiant Impression was also Added an Unprecedented and too Spectacular move by Erdogan himself, (who had just met with "Facebook"s USA Businessman Zuckenberg a Few Days ago !), to suddenly use, for the First Time, a..."FaceLine" tool via Apple's "I-Phone", in order to Launch a First Call to his Supporters, (when the National Radio-TV had been Seized by the Rebels, while Istanbul Airport initialy Refused his Plane's demand to Land), spread Furher also through USA-sponsored "CNN - Turk" TV... (See relevant PHOTOs).

The Accumulation of various such obviously Strange, Unusual and Theater-like Events, incited also Press ..."Cartoon" Designers, not only from Europe, but also Overseas, even from Brazil, etc., to Picture the Controversial Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan f.ex. as an ..."OSCAR" Film Prize Winner, or a "FICTION" "FILM ACTOR" in a "FAKE COUP" Play serving to Boost his Popularity, etc, (See PHOTOs)...
Meanwhile, the Stern Warning Revealed by a Long Series of other Photos and/or Videos about reported Lynching and/or Grave ill-treatments Cowardly inflicted by Brutal pro-Erdogan Mobsters against Defenseless, Disarmed Young Conscript Soldiers (usualy Aged 18-22), Added to Growing NewsReports about a still Evolving "Tsunami" of Massive Oppression (Officialy nick-named "Cleansing") against Many Thousands of Political Dissidents, (Comp. Supra), are also often Horrible Facts which canNot be dealt just by Humourists at all (Not even of "Black Humour"), Neither be Hidden from European and International Society, which obviously has to Find adequate Responses, Before it becomes Too Late for its Values.
Already, a Controversial and Unpopular attempt to give a "Visa-Free" status for 80 Millions of Turks to enter into the EU 6 Months Each Year seems Stopped, particularly after that Massive Erdogan's move to Dismiss Thousands of Judges, since among EU Conditions is also an "Independent Judiciary" requirement, observes "Politico" mainstream Media, which finds more likely for the EU to give some More Money to Turkey in exchange of Ankara's acceptance to Drop its Failed EU-bid.
But Facts reveal that the real situation might be even much Worse than than, Now, inside Turkey, and Risking even to be Exported to Europe, since Ankara's Authorities reportedly Ask from their Diaspora to Spy and Denounce various Political Dissidents and/or Critics in EU Countries, (even European Journalists : See f.ex. a Recent Scandal in the Netherlands, etc), while, in addition, various pro- and/or counter-Erdogan Demonstrations are being Scheduled...

Scientific innovation joined to Faith for Human Rights, Eastern Partnership and fight against the Crisis, but above all, the need to overcome the "Crisis of Trust" from EU Citizens, are the main priorities for new EU Parliament's President, Polish Jerzy Buzek, that a 555-votes-strong majority of MEPs on July 14, Strasbourg made a living symbol of the fact that, 20 years after the fall of Berlin Wall (1989 - 2009) there is no more an Eastern or Western Europe, but only one Europe, as the head of the largest group of MEPs, ChristianDemocrats/EPP, Joseph Daul, stressed after the event.
Speaking later to a group of Strasbourg's Journalists, including "EuroFora", the new EU Parliament's President clarified his stance on concrete topical issues, as f.ex. that of Turkey's controversial EU bid, which was one of the main issues of the June 2009 Electoral campain, clearly won by his party of ChristianDemocrats/EPP : - "At present, Turkey does not fullfil none of EU conditions", he stressed, (See infra).

Buzek is well known in Strasbourg and to "EuroFora" as EU Rapporteur for the Framework Program of Scientific Research and Development of Technologies. A Natural Science Professor from the Historic and Religious landmark Polish City of Częstochowa, active in the famous Solidarnosk grass-roots social movement, he served 4 years as Prime Minister (1997-2001), before being elected as MEP in 2004 and 2009, after he brillantly won the latest EU Election at the head of his party (EPP) almost doubling the number of its MEPs from 15 to 28 !
- "Innovation" and "Energy safety", as well as fight against the "Cimat change", but also "Eastern Partnership", the "Mediterranean", "Strategic partnerships" with Russia, the USA, etc, and the search for "solutions to the Economic Crisis" that EU Citizens "expect" from us, will be his "priorities", announced from the outset the new EU Parliament's President, reminding also that the quest for "Human and Civic Rights" played an important role in his experience with the Solidarnosc grass-roots social movement in Poland's History
But, the most important of all, is the urgent need to overcome the "Crisis of Trust" between EU Institutions and the People he stressed : - EU "Citizens often don't understand us", denounced Buzek, launcing a call to "do anything for EU Citizens to understand our work" in EU Parliament : "We (MEPs) need to make EU Citizens involved" in "what we are doing every week, in Strasbourg and Brussels", he proposed. Pointing f.ex. to the hot "Debates" with "strong arguments" exchanged between MEPs during the preparation of their Legislative Decisions, in Committees, delivering often hard struggles between initially opposed points of view, long before forging a majority at the final vote, sometimes more than a year..
Therefore, EU Parliament will be "open to your criticism, for discussion and exchange of views", he promissed to Journalists in Strasbourg.
In this way, Buzek, in fact, highlighted "EuroFora"s main idea, that we strongly advocate since 1997-2007, to systematicaly and actively involve EU Citizens in public debates during the decision-making process of important EU measures, which affect their lives and the society in which they live, (and not only just a few weeks each 4 or 5 Years at the eve of EU Elections)...
--------------------
This is related also to the symbolic gift that Buzek chose to give to the out-going former EU Parliament's President, Hans Gert Poettering, (2007-2009), his collegue in the ChristianDemocrats/EPP, who brillantly won 2009 EU Elections in Germany : A genuine statute of sainte Barbara crafted in Silesia's black Coal by Polish Miners : Those simple but strong people who fought for social change against some technocrats and bureaucrats disguissed into so-called "real-socialists" of old times. (PHOTO).
It's enough to have seen a popular open air mass, at Warsaw's center, with many thousands of people, old and young, simple workers and intellectuals mixed together, with references to Poland's history and struggles for survival and liberty, through various ages, (as fex. that organized at the eve of CoE's 2005 panEuropean Heads of State and Government for the beatification of late Pope John-Paul II), in order to understand what such symbols mean..

But, overcoming the "Crisis of Trust" with EU Citizens obviously implies also to rectify any errors done in the past, fex. on Turkey's controversial EU bid, with controversial decisions taken in 1999 and 2004 to give a "candidate" status and to start EU negotiations, provoking an unprecedented series of 3 "No" to EuroReferenda and 3 Majoriy Abstentions in EU Parliament Elections : 1999, 2005 and 2009, (even if the latest one succeeded to decelerate and almost stop the drop of participation rates, opening hopes for vote's revival after an electoral campaign clearly critical to Turkey's claims in several mainstream EU countries)
Therefore, Buzek was faced with manifold critical Questions on EU Enlargement, most of them citting concrete examples of certain political problems : But his replies were almost always given as a matter of general principle :
F.ex. Questioned on the suspension of EU - Croatia talks because of a Border conflict with EU Member Slovenia, Buzek prefered to speak about principles :
- "We know that during Enlargement, the process can be blocked by failure to resolve this kind of issues", This concerns also other enlargments' cases", and "these rules are always in force" he warned.
But Buzek avoided to directly reply to a queston on "French and German EPP' calls to define the Borders of Europe", as a German journalist asked him by making a reference to French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and German Chancellor Angie Merkel's, critical statements on Turkey at the June 2009 Electoral campain.
- "Concerning Enlargement, there's always the same rules : There have to be Criteria, which have to be respected if a Country wants to join the EU", he started to simply reply.
- "For my country (Poland) it took us 15 Years to fullfil these Criteria", Buzek reminded, indicating, if proportions are kept, that Turkey, fex. would have to spend some 25 years before eventually joining the EU..
- "Countries wishing to join the EU need to Change their Systems", as we (Poland and other former Eastern European Countries) did, he stressed.
- "'For me, meeting the condition of Human Rights is one of the Key conditions for membership in the EU", preferring again to speak from the point of view of General Principles, on the occasion of an untimely question on Serbia (which is not even a candidate yet)...
- "Turkey" has, "first of all", to fullfil (EU) Copenhagen criteria". Bevause, currently, none of them is fullfiled by Turkey", New EU Parliament's President, denounced, speaking later to a group of Journalists, including "EuroFora".
In particular, on Human Rights : - "We (EU) can never forget Human Rights", because "this is at the very Foundations of the EU", Buzek added.
On the contrary, when he referred to EU Enlargment for the "Western Balkans Countries ", Buzek appeared upbeat, finding "promising situations", despite "difficulties" in the Past, since "Countries are queuing to become EU members", and this "generated changes", as he said.
As for Russia, Buzek observed that it was a "very important" country, located "in the same Continent", Europe, "close to our borders", and "we need eachother". "But Russia' has 'differend poblems : "They claim that their system is Democratic, but rules are differend", and we must be "aware of such differencies", fex. "on Human Rights", that we can't ignore, as he said;
Concerning China, where a journalist observed that the recipient of EU Parliament's latest "Sakharov prize" for freedom of thought is "still in prison", Buzek found that since the 1999 events in Tien Amin square, "we see differencies on Human Rights still today", and expressed his "support" for those who try to ameliorate the situation.
On the contrary, speaking recently to "EuroFora" he strongly supported the idea for an EU - Ukraine cooperation, fex. between Airbus and Antonov, in order to build a less costly but more performant than the old and problematic A400M, new Military Transport Airplane : - "They (Ukranian Antonov Company) can certainly do it. I'm sure they can. It's a good Idea, and I'd be glad if it was done", he told us. (See : http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/airbusantonov.html )
