If the rest of the world really want to help Turkey

Here is the one paragraph version of what is happening in Turkey.

During the last decade in which he has been in power, Erdogan has allowed the Gulen movement to take control over the police, judiciary, and large parts of the state apparatus. The Gulen movement in turn established a republic of dirty tricks, with illegal wiretaps and video recordings, fabricated evidence, framing of innocent people, slander and disinformation as its modus operandi.  The monster Erdogan created eventually turned against him as the common enemy, the military and the rest of the secular establishment, were vanquished. He is now trying to slay the monster. That means purges, bringing the judiciary under his control, tightening the screws on the Internet and social media, and greatly expanding the powers of MiT, the national intelligence organization. The collateral damage for Turkish democracy – or what remained of it – is huge.

We cannot look at all this and focus only on what Erdogan is doing without at least acknowledging that the Gulenists also bear considerable responsibility for bringing the country to its current crisis. The idea that there was something like the rule of law or Turkey was democratizing before Erdogan began to tighten the screws on the Gulen movement is dangerous nonsense. Those who call on Erdogan to respect democracy and the rule of law should be calling on the Gulen movement to do the same. Otherwise, they end up taking sides in a war in which neither side looks pretty.

Here is an analogy. Suppose Erdogan was still fighting the military rather than the Gulenists. Americans’ and European criticism of Erdogan would be coupled with calls on the military to respect democratic rules. Otherwise, it would look like these outsiders were favoring one authoritarian force over another.

So that is why interventions like this and this are one-sided and not that helpful.

Your claim "Erdoğan created the monster" is nonsense. Gulenists started their plan in 1960s & they were able to acquire secret info from military & others 17 years ago according to parliement accounts. See: http://m.turkiyegazetesi.com.tr/yildiray-ogur/581725.aspx What was surprise for Erdogan was their ultimate goal. Erdogan could not fight both military coup possibility & Gulenists at the same time.

There are not too many people who look to help others and that is the exact reason why we see the world in so much trouble, I believe that if one wants to help then they should do it. I always contribute in stuff that I can especially with Forex trading, it’s an epic work to do and always bring rewards with having great broker like OctaFX, it makes my task easy with their low spread of 0.2 pips, high leverage up to 1.500 and epic customer service.
