As reported by the Jerusalem Post on June 9, 2010, the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (ITIC) has revealed the close ties between the most violent operatives from Turkeys jihadist IHH organization on board the Mavi Maramara ship, and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his ruling AKP government.
Salient details of these connections from the ITIC analysis based upon statements given by Mavi Maramara passengers after the vessel was towed to the port of Ashdod last week, as well as findings from IHH members computers seized by the Israel Defense Forces included:
* The Mavi Maramara was purchased by the IHH from a major shipping company owned by the Istanbul Municipality, which is operated by the governing AKP party. A computer file showed that the IHH purchased the Mavi Maramara from a Turkish company called IDO, which was founded in 1987 by the city of Istanbul, an AKP-run municipality. It is not conceivable that the IHHs Gaza operation could have been carried out absent high-level government sanction, as per Svante Cornell, a Swedish scholar specializing on politics and security issues in Eurasia.

“An Open Letter to Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdogan”

SNIPPET: “Editor’s note: The writer is a Turkish-American citizen and a tenured academic. He submitted this column to the Investigative Project on Terrorism to express his frustration over Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s movement away from the West and toward Islamist influence. That includes his work with Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad to avoid sanctions over Iran’s nuclear program and Erdogan’s aggressive leadership on the recent flotilla designed at breaking the blockade on Gaza.
Congratulations, Mr. Prime Minister. You have accomplished in eight years what no other contemporary Turkish politician could achieve. You have successfully entered the final stages in your efforts to transform Atatürk’s Turkey into an Arab-style Islamist dictatorship.”
