There is nothing to be hopeful about an election that was produced by a coup d’état orchestrated with the political support provided by the United States, financing by the Gulf and violence by the Baltajis.

President Obama's policies on these matters will have serious impacts on U.S. popularity in the world.

How could the apathy of the international community towards the death verdicts in Egypt be interpreted? Is the decision for death sentences legitimate? Is the judiciary in Egypt independent?

The geopolitical complexities of the Arab awakening are impacted by developments in Syria and Turkey's relations with Iran and Gulf countries.

Turkey's strategic journey towards a more developed, democratic and prosperous future will continue regardless of conjunctive challenges.

It is the requirement of rational politics for Turkey to have economic and political cooperation with all countries, notably with her neighbors.

All of the Western media, having received their information from the same 20-30 top individuals, all of whom share the same point of view, paint a particular picture of Turkey.

Turkey, a country so critical in shaping the international system, should play a more effective role in international organizations.

The slanderous claim of Erdoğan-al Qaeda link has been systematically voiced by the Gulen Group in Turkey. It is impossible to distinguish the mentality behind this slander from the Baath mentality in Syria or the US mentality in Afghanistan.

Two different constitutions were drafted and put on a popular vote in three years after Hosni Mobarak was overthrown in Egypt.

It is possible to say that the next step for the Egyptian Minister of Defense, General Abdel Fattah al Sisi, will be the presidential post. This is because new campaign groups and movements to support his candidacy have already surfaced.

Since the operational political engineering that the Gulen Movement has launched by leveraging its power within the bureaucracy corresponds to a developing new form of tutelary, it threatens democracy in Turkey.

Now in Egypt, there is a new Constitution before us which institutionalizes the Military-Judiciary-Police State and narrows the sphere of the civilian politics in the post-coup period, and paradoxically is dominated by completely secular, liberal and Naserist positions.

The declaration of Muslim Brotherhood, or Ikhwan, as a “terror organization” has been accepted as one of the most radical decisions taken since the overthrow of the President Mohammed Morsi on July 3, 2013.

Since January 2011, Arab regimes have also employed the terrorism card to maintain their grip on government.
