It was also known that y were addressing “bror”, but did not like it at all. Gül, who studied and worked abroad, considered himself real brain of party and looked down on Erdoğan. He said that during EU negotiations he had kicked him out of table every now and n. Erdoğan, however, was annoyed that Gül came to fore and publicly criticized government’s actions, leaving loyal newspapers and Trollheer under his command Gül Revile.
When Gül’s time as president of state, he gave Erdoğan post and withdrew. However, he knew that he had been talking to various circles in his residence.
When Erdoğan abruptly preferred presidential elections for 18 months and set up for next June, opposition was caught cold. She quickly had to find such a well-known and experienced candidate and chase government bloc with his approximately 50 percent votes. The only eligible man for this was Abdullah Gül. Immediately y knocked at him. Gül said: “If opposition parties set me up as a joint candidate, I will be re.” This is a difficult condition, because or pretentious candidates would have to resign and Social Democrats would vote for co-founder of ACP. Neverless, in days of negotiations, opposition parties were tinkering with Gül’s candidacy. How much this was added to government camp was evident in a campaign by government-oriented press. Gül was scolded “Brutus”. But that didn’t bor him. Rar, counter-campaign consolidated its displeasure against “Caesar.” He was ready to compete against his former companion.
Erdoğan brought in a player that no one had anticipated: Chief of staff. Erdoğan had come to power with promise to end patronage of military, and had sent it back to barracks with thousands of conspiracies. Like motto “Now it is up to me to use military in politics,” he now sent General chief of staff Hulusi Akar to Gul, so that he abbrächte latter from candidacy. The two knew each or since Seventies. Akar landed secretly by helicopter in garden of Gül’s residence. With him came government spokesman Ibrahim Kalın. The details of Parley were not known, presumably y provided Gül with dubious consequences of his candidacy. Everything expected that Gül would announce his candidacy, but three days after Parley, he went to press and said, “I am running not.”

A military intervention had clearly taken place. Which was kept secret from public. A few days after meeting, newspaper Haberturk got wind of it and put message on ir website. Shortly reafter, she was removed, tweets deleted and n online boss fired.
Do we have to say that media group that suppressed news is closely related to government?
On occasion of “Day of press freedom” I wanted to write about situation of media in Turkey and a disguised military intervention.
Unfortunately, in Turkish press it has become difficult to publish something like this…
