The counter-guerilla structure, of which only one part became known through Ergenekon , is the state itself with its MGK , the main governance mechanism of the regime, and the Political Document of National Security (MGSB), its real constitution.

The Ergenekon operation that is an operation to reorganise the counter-guerrilla on the basis of the US concept, the hearings of the trial that has been started as well as new waves of arrest and detentions continues.
Within January, two new waves of arrest and detention were realised in line with the Ergenekon operation. The 10th wave of the operation started on January 7 resulted in heavy discussions. While in this operation Tuncer Kilinc, former general secretary of the National Security Council (MGK), general Kemal Yavuz, major general Eral Senel, colonel Ilyas Cinar, lieutenant colonel Mustafa Dönmez, former vice chairman of the Special Operations Department Ibrahim Sahin, writer Yalcin Kucuk, journalist Engin Aydın, former YOK president Kemal Guruz were arrested, and Court of Appeals' honorary president Sabih Kanadoglu's house was raided. Hand grenades, arms and bullets were found during the raid of lieutenant colonel Mustafa Donmez's house in Sapanca, Adapazari as well as during the excavations carried out in Ankara based on the drawings which are said to be found in the house of the former vice chairman of the Special Operations Department Ibrahim Sahin.
This operation that even covered the arrest of the former general secretary of the MGK led to high tension within the army. After the meeting of the chief of general staff Ilker Basbug with the generals-in chief of the armed forces, Basbug met with Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan and President Abdullah Gul. Due to these interventions, former general secretary of the MGK Tuncer Kilinc and general Kemal Yavuz were released without even having been taken to the court.
On January 23, the 11th wave of operation was realised. This time, the arrested were mainly businessmen who are said to be supplying the financial sources of Ergenekon, some unionists, and police men and soldiers related with the Special Operations Department taking part in the assassination team organised by Ibrahim Sahin. At the 11th wave of operation especially three names drew attention on themselves: Mustafa Ozbek, president of the union Turk Metal; Servet Kaynak, assistant manager of the Special Military Department in Antalya, who was the manager of the Special Military Department in Semdinli during the incidents in Semdinli in 2005; as well as a colonel of the Alpine Commando School of Egirdir who was arrested at Isparta (this commando team had carried out the bloody attack on the revolutionary prisoners at Burdur prison on July 5, 2000). By this, the operation has openly been related to counter-unions, the provocative act in Semdinli and the massacre in Burdur.
Although the public prosecutors in the Ergenekon case had said already in the very first in the indictment that "Ergenekon has no relation with the Turkish Armed Forces and MIT " and by this, prevented that the counter-guerilla could be related to the state, every single testimony written down in the file, every proof obtained, every new evidence points directly to the Turkish Armed Forces and the National Intelligence Service (MIT). The counter-guerilla structure, of which only one part became known through Ergenekon, is the state itself with its MGK, the main governance mechanism of the regime, and the Political Document of National Security (MGSB), its real constitution.
The Ergenekon operation is an operation on which the Turkish Armed Forces and the government party AKP have agreed under the leadership of the USA and is carried out to re-organise the counter-guerilla and to clean those elements up that broke ranks and liquidate them. The beginning of this agreement goes back to the meeting at Dolmabahce between the former chief of general staff Buyukanit and Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan as well as the Erdogan-Bush meeting on November 5, 2007 and many other meetings during this period. Regardless how often the AKP and Turkish Armed Forces get confronted in some concrete stages of the operation, the operation is not carried out independently from the Turkish Armed Forces' leadership.
The USA supports and leads the operation in form of cleaning up the elements that adopted a new trend oriented to Russia-China-Iran, gaining stability to a line appropriate to the role given to Turkey and re-organising the Turkish Armed Forces on the US line.
The AKP represents the group within the Ergenekon operations that has the biggest benefit in the sense of annihilating an organisation aiming at liquidating the government through carrying out provocative acts and massacres and by that, preparing an atmosphere of a coup, and at the same time adding the reputation by showing itself as the one fighting the counter-guerrilla.
Through this way, the US-line based leadership within the Turkish Armed Forces is related to the operation in order to liquidate those elements adopting a line and approach independently from the USA as well as to overcome by this way the weaknesses that had come up in the hierarchy and authority within the army.
On the other hand, it is the army front that has the most disadvantaged position concerning this agreement. This situation is reflected in the fact that Tuncer Kilinc who told his thoughts in following a Eurasia line when being the general secretary of the MGK was arrested but he was defended by the same Turkish Armed Forces aiming at liquidating the Eurasia-oriented approaches. From the point of view of the Turkish Armed Forces, this period has passed especially stressful and complicated, because the Turkish Armed Forces are at the head of and within the counter-guerilla organisation to the core and every step taken represents a threat on it. The aim of the Turkish Armed Forces is not simply rescuing some former pashas; what makes them frequently intervene in the process and make some balance adjustments is the question to hinder the relations of the Turkish Armed Forces and the MGK with the counter-guerilla to be denounced.
The USA and the fascist dictatorship are continuing with this operation in a controlled way. The period until now has not been related to the Turkish Armed Forces despite clear proofs and findings, it has not covered the dirty war crimes in Kurdistan and no account has been demanded for the massacres against the revolutionaries, progressive forces, labourers of the oppressed national minorities and religious denominations. As long as it is the state itself who pull the strings of the operation, it is to be presumed that it will continue like that although there are some problems between the Turkish Armed Forces and the AKP. For these facts that were denounced together with Ergenekon operations to become clear, the workers and labourers must become a part of the process demanding justice.
