Open Letter: Enver Pasha; The Great Dream
Apart from the traces that can help us decipher the ‘codes’ of the nightmare we are living through, he left nothing in the name of wealth behind; proved even to his enemies what a commander, a statesman, a husband, a human being should be like, alone, yet a great man. Teacher Hasan was right; these small minds and this small, strange country will understand you one day when grow up.
From Ali Başhamba to İbrahim Kalın: The Shadow of the Teşkilat-ı Mahsusa
Before Kalın lies a significant historical opportunity in terms of an anti-imperialist and Islamic world-centered security perspective. At a time when politics is becoming increasingly shallow amid day-to-day calculations and policies are being shaped by short-term gains rather than long-term national interests, Kalın’s intellectual formation offers him the opportunity to open up a broader horizon. If Kalın can build a long-term security doctrine during his tenure as President of the National Intelligence Organization (MİT), one that prioritizes the national interest and combines Türkiye’s regional ambitions with institutional rigor, he may become one of the figures held in high esteem across the Islamic world, much like Ali Başhamba.
