Davutoglu admits participating in the downed Su-24 plot

The pilots who shot down the Russian plane were members of the network of preacher Fethullah Gulen, working for the CIA. They took an active part in the recent attempted coup d'état in Turkey. According to the Turkish authorities, the take-down of the Russian plane was a deliberate provocation aimed at something, to push the two powers at a time when there had been a rapprochement between them, and were ready for a compromise. The management of this operation was carried out using US intelligence agencies; the Gulen network and its agents in the Turkish Air Force.

However, the provocation would not have been successful if the Prime Minister has not issued a decree and would not have created the conditions that allowed the pilots/conspirators to act on their own. We have previously argued that Davutoglu was also a member of the US network's influence in Turkey. Katehon wrote that he played an active role in provoking the destruction of the Russian plane. Now the ex-prime minister has de facto acknowledged that he played a key role in the conspiracy aimed at undermining the position of his country. Indeed, the neo-Ottomanism which he promoted led to the involvement of Turkey in numerous conflicts, contributed to the strengthening of the Kurdish and radical Islamic factor as a result of the destabilization in Syria, and thus destabilized the situation in the country, where the Kurdish underground and Islamic extremists started a real war against the state.
