Turkey’s “Deep-State” and
the Ergenekon Conundrum
By H. Akin Ünver
http://www.mei.edu/Portals/0/Publications/turkey-deep-state-ergenekonconundrum.pdf"Ergenekon” is the name given to arguably the most important legal process in Turkish
history in which around 100 suspects are charged with aiming to topple the ruling Justice
and Development Party (AKP) through a military coup. The legal indictment infers that
these suspects are in fact a part of a wider network of individuals within the armed forces,
intelligence community, executive branches, academia, media, and civil society, suggesting
that the network in question is an evolved version of a similar network dating back to the
final years of the Ottoman Empire and incorporated into the NATO operations during the
Cold War. While the legal process has the potential to be the single most important process
that will shed light on the last century of Turkish history, it is also surrounded by many
legal and political controversies, including acute anti-American rhetoric."
Here's the structure of Ergenekon -

~ The organization started civil expansion after 1999
~ STRUCTURING OF ERGENEKON: Organization’s hierarchic structure, objectives and principles have been put into written form, hierarchic distribution regarding tasks, responsible divisions (departments) have been made and solid principles of the organization have been recorded item by item and thus a structure where a state within the state is aimed has been established.
~ Organization leaders are considering themselves as “deep state” and maintaining that the organization is recognized such as this outside the organization.
~ Members of the ERGENEKON organization stated that; "they are the real owners of the state, all administrators are traitors, Constitutional rules are not enough to govern the State in a health and safe way, and for these reasons it is obligatory for a deep (underground) organization such as ERGENEKON to govern the State from backstage and even shocking assassinations can be performed in order to maintain administers of State to obey ERGENEKON STRUCTURING.
