While the actual / physical and cultural occupation of Islamic geography continued for many years by the imperialists, especially in the Ummah, the seeds of corruption, which were removed from the shell in 2016, suffered painful events that would not be erased from memory.
Global imperialism; attacked on the crumbling, weakened and powerful Islamic nations with insidious and brutal methods, causing hundreds of thousands of Muslims to die, millions of them falling into refugee status and ruined cities.
Mainly Syria; Iraq, Yemen, Bahrain, Afghanistan, Egypt and Libya got in among the bloody pages of history, the barbarism of Buddhist gangs and Muslims in Arakan got in among the black pages of human history.
While the unforgettable sufferings were experienced in different regions of Islamic geography in 2016, the ditch politics of the PKK / HDP in Turkiye, the painful reflections of the Syrian war and the FETO coup attempt supported by the US continued for 365 days.
The chaos, which was sustained in the conflicts and bombed attacks that were launched by the PKK / HDP's conflicts with the ditch politics and the tensions increased with the drop of Russia, resulted in an unsuccessful coup attempt.
The bombed assaults, which were paused for a while, were restarted while the coup attempt to be made on July 15 by the support of international powers, mainly US by the FETO / PDY, was suppressed by the people.
Turkiye, which took action after the rocket on Kilis and a bombed attack neighborhood wedding in Gaziantep, entered in the region controlled by ISIS in Syria through the operation of Euphrates Shield. At the fourth month of the operation, while the conflicts were intensifying from time to time, the FSA [Free Syrian Army] forces, advancing with the support of Turkiye, relied on El Bab.
While the US and the EU started to support the PKK / PYD and the FETO openly, in the process of falling to the point of breaking the ties in the relations between Turkiye and the West, Turkiye was restored its relations with Russia, which had suffered after the plane crisis. In the new period of close relations with Russia, Russia's Ankara Ambassador Andrey Gennadiyevich Karlov was murdered in painting exhibition by a police officer allegedly a member of FETO.
One of the most important topics of Turkiye's agenda in 2016 was the conflicts that the PKK raised in the cities, in the people's living spaces, the curfew afterwards, the death of thousands of people and ruined cities that did not resemble Syria.
However, the refusal testify of the HDP parliamentarians and lift their immunity due to their summary and their detention, including the mayors under the custody process that has started, were among the important issues of Turkiye's agenda.
During this process, the prominent figures of the PKK politics, including HDP Co-Chairman Selahattin Demirtaş, who was mentioned as the incitement to the events of October 6-8, including many parliamentarians, including Diyarbakır Metropolitan Mayor Gülten Kışanak and Mardin Metropolitan Mayor Ahmet Turk, were arrested. The appointment of trustees in place of the mayors who were arrested.
There is no doubt that another agenda heading in Turkiye in 2016, which is the scene of events that will not be erased from memories for many years, is undoubtedly the MHP. Meral Akşener, the leader of the opposition wing, long-standing congress debates, and the negative wind against Devlet Bahçeli ended in the July 15 coup attempt.
The US-backed FETO coup attempt targeted the entire nation, especially targeted President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. In the difficult days when the Islamic sections were the dominant actors in the suppression of the coup, the people showed a great resistance against the juntas. During the investigations and operations initiated after this resistance which upset all the accounts of the USA and Europe; tens of thousands of army and judiciary members, academics, police, and tens of thousands of people linked to the FETO-PDY working in the public were either laid off or arrested or expelled from the institutions.
In the early hours of the coup attempt, the Hizbullah Congregation [Turkish] invited all the people out to the streets to protest. Especially in Eastern and Southeastern Turkiye, after this call, people went down to the squares and organized marches.
In the statement made by HUDA PAR Headquarters, it was requested that all the people, especially all members and volunteers, should go down to the squares and stand against the putschists. HUDA PAR organizations in various cities and provinces of Turkiye resisted against juntas in the squares after this call. In order to resist against the putschists, on July 15 nigh, on the Bosphorus Bridge, HUDA PAR member Mehmet Karaaslan was martyred as a result of fire by putschists.
For the first time in Turkiye, the Assembly bombed. And by its own army members. Presidential Complex, President Erdoğan himself was among the targets. July 15, the great turmoil experienced, became a new milestone for Turkiye.
Thousands of people were massacred in Syria in the 2016 year due to civil war, and tens of thousands of people displaced, and became refugees. The Baas regime, which has lost many of its territories, recaptured with the support of Russia, also took back Aleppo in the hands of the opponents with a massacre in the last days of 2016. Tens of thousands of civilians left in the city have moved to safe areas with the agreement of Turkiye and Russia. With the consensus of the foreign ministers of Turkiye, Russia and Iran in the last days of 2016, there was a new hope for the end of the conflicts in Syria.
Extremist right-wing parties came to the front in many countries in the West, where Islamic hostility has increased, and bombed actions carried out in some countries including France, Belgium and Germany. The state of emergency in France after the attack on Paris in 2015 was resumed in 2016 as well.
The EU, which its negotiation decreased with Turkiye in 2016, also has suffered in itself. While the UK people decided to leave the EU with a referendum, some EU countries, which were disturbed by the policies and refugee flows, began to debate the issue.
The Israeli-Turkish relations, which were damaged after the attack on Mavi Marmara, normalized again with an agreement. With the agreement, the ambassadors were re-assigned in the two countries, while the Mavi Marmara cases against Israeli authorities were dropped. This decision caused great upset among the victims of the Mavi Marmara attack and disappointment about the future.
Donald Trump won the presidency as a surprise in November elections in the United States, which the US takes reacted with Middle East policy, especially Syria. Trump, which stands out as a contemporary icon of capitalism, which stands out with its xenophobia, especially against Muslims, will take over after the oath allegiance to be held in January.
