Turkey’s President Erdoğan answered questions about the referendum on a television program he attended, on Habertürk. When asked about his thoughts on the German Bild newspaper’s report titled, “If (Atatürk) lived today he would vote ‘No'”, he answered: “What has this anything to do with (Atatürk)? Quite the opposite; what if I told you that if (Atatürk) got up, he would say “Yes” to this regulation because he lived according to it. Because (Atatürk) did, what we want to do. He could not get along with Inönü.”
Comment:
The German Bild Newspaper’s news headline “If (Atatürk) lived today he would vote ‘No'” is Europe’s political approach and reflection to the constitution change in Turkey and Republican presidential system (Presidential). For the EU supports the continuation of the secular Parliamentarian system in Turkey. Because the Parliamentarian system is Mustapha Kemal’s system which with the blessing of the English abolished the Khilafah (Caliphate) and instead established the secular republic. That is why the EU team which the English leads openly says “No” to the referendum that will be held in 16 April. Western Kuffar demonstrate to us on whose side they are on and who represents the secular Parliamentarian system by saying, “If (Atatürk) lived today he would vote ‘No'”.
The sly English and Kuffar Europe knows very well that a “Yes” from the referendum would be their end. They know very well that if “Yes” comes out of the box their political influence on Turkey would end and that America will be 100% in control of Turkish politics. That is why they are openly declaring they side with “No” and why they even revoke dead Mustapha Kemal. They know that secular democrats in Turkey worship Mustapha Kemal like a god.
But let us return to the answer the “Yes” side gave to the news the Bild Newspaper made; President Erdoğan answered the news of the Bild Newspaper by stating that “If (Atatürk) got up, he would say “Yes” to this regulation”. This statement is nothing but an attempt to confuse. He winks at the secular democrats who are undecided between “Yes” and “No” with this statement. For the surveys about the referendum show that the situation is very close. In other words the “Yes” side is in need of the votes of the secular and liberal democrats.
Another thing that is quite interesting is that while President Erdoğan gave this statement on the referendum and Mustapha Kemal, just couple of minutes later, on the same program, he made another statement contradicting the first one. He answers the leading opposition party’s “one man” criticism on the same program with: “They keep saying one man. If you are looking for one men, take a look at the history of the Republic. Now, did not Gazi (Veteran) Mustapha Kemal lead on his own?”
Moreover this contradiction, let me share with you another contradicting statement from President Erdoğan. Only 5 days after these statements he said in his speech he made at the Presidential Külliye (Complex): “‘One man rule’ is something totally different, that ended in 1923. Republican presidential Governmental System is a democratic system.”
I honestly understood one thing from all of these statements. President Erdoğan indicates plainly to the Islamic Khilafah with his “One man rule ended in 1923” statement. He explains that Islamic Khilafah ended in 1923 and that the Republican-presidential Governmental System is a democratic system. The same Erdoğan deceives the Muslims with the “return of the Khilafah after the Presidential system”, lies and dreams, in order to garner the support of the Muslims. Even though it is Haram he calls the Muslims to vote in the referendum for a un-Islamic constitution.
AKP in other words the “Yes” side has grown so ugly, so greedy; look what they did: They made “Yes” propagandas by using the name of Sheikh Said who was executed by the enemies of Islam, secular republicans, led by Mustapha Kemal because he started an uprising for the Khilafah. They hung banners written “Every Yes is a Fatiha for Sheikh Said and his Friends” They both are able to stain the name of Sheikh Said and show him at the same side as his enemy, Mustapha Kemal.
No matter secular or democrat, nationalist or conservative, these political parties which are bereft of any course or standard and the deceiving populist politicians, will never be able to deceive sincere and foresighted Muslims. Because we Muslims who has not lost their sight (Ferasah and Basirah), know that those who call to “No” serve the English Parliamentarian system and those who call to “Yes” serve the American Presidential system and we say without fear, plainly:
“Neither the English model Parliamentarian system, nor the American model Presidential system belongs to the Muslims and Islam. They are both not a solution for Turkey. The solution is the rightly guided Khalifah upon the method of the Prophethood.”
