A letter titled “Our hearts bleed” posted on the Twitter profile of one of the police chiefs who was arrested during operations against the police on July 22 says that arresting police officers only helps certain outlawed groups in Turkey.
The police chief, Erol Demirhan, who is currently under detention at Silivri Prison, shared this letter with his wife who posted it on his Twitter account on Sunday.
“As former head of the National Intelligence Organization [MİT] Ömer Altıparmak previously expressed, ‘The reality so clearly shows itself in these circumstances.' The reality is that behind closed doors, the plan is to dismantle those [police officers] who carried out the [Kurdistan Communities Union] KCK and Ergenekon operations.
“Intelligence and counterterrorism official Altıparmak commented that terrorist leader [Abdullah Öcalan of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK)] once said, ‘Those trained security forces are our biggest obstacle. Without dismantling them, it will be impossible for us to attain our goals.'
“For years we have educated and trained police officers against terrorism in the public sector, and now they are treated as traitors and terrorists themselves. Now, the balance [of bureaucracy] changes according to the wishes of Öcalan.
“[…] Regardless of who is in power, to arrest patriots and to throw them here and there, to mandate disciplinary interrogations against them will only darken the future and end the progress point we reached in 2012 and only help the terrorists create a state.”
