Hulusi Akar's unsettling response to the question "Will there be a Third World War?"

Former Minister of National Defense and AK Party Kayseri Deputy Hulusi Akar, in a live broadcast where he explained what happened on the night of July 15th, responded to the question "Will World War III break out?" with the answer "War has already started in a way. War consists of three stages. We are currently in the preparation phase."

"WE FACED A GREAT BETRAYAL ON THE NIGHT OF JULY 15TH"

Here are some highlights from Hulusi Akar's statements in the program: "We have a very extensive history of 2500 years. We are members of a great nation. In the flow of history, we should look at history not only to live it, but also to learn from the sufferings, to take inspiration from its glorious aspects. In this process, there is an incident that we encountered. The treacherous coup attempt is unlike anything we have seen before. It is a great act of cowardice, dishonor. On the night of July 15th, we faced a great betrayal. It caused a great destruction in the state structure and in our society as well. We lost 252 martyrs. The wounded suffered greatly. I had a brother named Resul, his intestines were hanging out. We have many wounded, all of them are important and valuable.

"IMPERIALISM IS LIKE A SCORPION"

The coup attempt was not made against the AK Party. It was made against the whole nation. We see that some formations associate the trial of FETÖ with the places where AK Party and MHP are present, the commemoration of these events, the commemoration of democracy and national unity day. There is bias here. There is a mistake in the perspective. These imperialist powers are like scorpions. Scorpions cannot help but sting. Scorpions cannot stop either. They used FETÖ against our state and our nation. They have no connection to law. There is a great oppression in Israel. They are committing acts that amount to genocide. They are in great blindness and deafness. Our belief, hopefully the work of our President, the work of our government, they must be held accountable before justice and law. We are waiting for blind and deaf countries to gather themselves.

"85 MILLION STOOD UP WITH GREAT CONSCIOUSNESS"

When we look at the agreements regarding this issue for centuries, we see an effort against Turkey. Military and political. If we could not produce UAVs, UCAVs, if Selçuk Bey could not succeed in this matter, we would have serious problems. Defense industry has a great influence if we can conduct our diplomacy comfortably. Some individuals and organizations did not mentally condemn these FETÖ members. They look at this issue as a government issue. They look at it as an opposition issue. This is extremely wrong. If it were not for the wisdom and foresight of our citizens in resisting this matter. Our whole nation, 85 million people, resisted against FETÖ with great consciousness.

"THEY ARE NOT HANDING OVER THEIR LEADER FOR TRIVIAL REASONS"

Turkey was going to be managed like a satellite. They were not going to give importance to our brothers in Azerbaijan. They were not going to show respect to our relations with Libya. The fact that FETÖ members are protected abroad is a clear indication of this. Many FETÖ accounts are still spreading lies, slanders, and harassment against our President and us. They are being protected, sheltered. They do it from Europe, from America. The relevant units there are not taking precautions. Our Ministry of Justice sent 80-100 folders for the extradition of the FETÖ leader to Turkey. They did not respond with trivial reasons. We will continue this struggle as a state.

HOW MUCH DID THE TSK KNOW ABOUT FETÖ?

Until February 7th, 2012, they camouflaged themselves by disguising themselves as lambs in terms of their connection with terrorists. We saw it on February 7th. Then we came to 17-25 and July 15th. There was a reality called F type, then it turned into a parallel state structure. F type listens, sends false letters with or without signatures, opens conspiracy cases. The real burden of 17-25 began to be seen. After that, our intelligence units and other institutions. They had infiltrated various units from the beginning, as well as the armed forces. We had cut off the relationship of 10,500 people with the approval of the Minister. After July 15th. It reached a total of 24,652. Somehow officers and generals had infiltrated. There are operations in the judiciary, intelligence, armed forces, and universities."

WILL WORLD WAR III BREAK OUT?

Former Minister of National Defense Hulusi Akar, who also responded to the question "Will World War III break out?" asked by Mehmet Akif Ersoy from Habertürk in the live broadcast, used the following expressions: "We need to study our ancestors well. We need to look at things with reason and science. This is in no way contrary to religion, national and spiritual values. When we look at events with reason and science, we see them. Our ancestors said 'Be ready for war if you want peace'. We always need to be ready for war, even today. If they had talked about the coronavirus before, we wouldn't have understood. If they had talked about the war between Russia and Ukraine, we wouldn't have believed it. The genocide of Israel is evident. Anything can happen at any moment. The high spirit of our soldiers is unmatched. It is our responsibility as a state to provide them with the most advanced technology weapons, vehicles, and equipment."

"WAR HAS ALREADY STARTED IN A WAY"

We couldn't have the maintenance of the Herons that we paid for done in Israel. Thanks to the encouragement of our President, we have reached high levels in the defense industry. We have produced tanks, artillery, even our own planes, helicopters, UAVs, UCAVs. The issue of Bayraktar is a very important issue. There is dedication here. There is the dedication of the late Özdemir Bey. Thanks to this, we can carry out operations, support our brothers in Azerbaijan. These are exported to friendly and allied countries. The risk of World War III is always there. War has already started in a way. War is in its crudest form, preparations, diplomatic and political work, the establishment of alliances. Then it is executed. Countries and blocs continue their preparations. When they see that they are sufficient in terms of rights and interests in terms of time and place, this war begins."
