This affair is important and disturbing for three related reasons:
- because it is a caught-in-the-act example of a full NATO member planning what was to be a high-profile attack on a revered monument of its own people and blaming it on another country (in this case Syria) in order to create a casus belli for war. War in which the rest of NATO would then be treaty-bound under article 5 to support. The target to be attacked is the Tomb of Suleyman Shah, situated on Syrian territory and guarded by Turkish military personnel under the 1921 Treaty of Ankara [1].
- because of the way in which it was reported in the western commercially-controlled media. Details of the plan itself were ignored/suppressed/obfuscated. Instead it was presented as an example of outrageous internet censorship by an authoritarian regime [2] Classic diversionary tactics of express outrage over trivia and ignore the elephant in the room.
- because the leak occurred just days before important Turkish municipal elections scheduled for 30 March 2014 [3] indicating that domestic Turkish politics probably trump NATO sensitivities - even where matters of war are concerned. Whoever leaked it clearly has high-level cyber-intercept capabilities - probably at relatively senior intel/military level - and is no friend of the current prime minister IOW.

Anatomy of a NATO-sponsored false flag operation
Contents
Introduction
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan blocked YouTube on 27 March 2014 citing 'Security concerns' [4]. The Western commercially-controlled media reported the action as being a response to earlier and ongoing "leaks exposing high-level government corruption" and similar generalities [4] [5]. The tone of commercially-controlled media reporting was indignation at censorship of the internet and reiforcing an image of corruption against the Erdogan government. Hardly any mention was made of Syria except to say that a leaked recording posted on YouTube seemed to be of "Turkish officials discussing Syria" [2]
The actual content of the "discussion" was nowhere to be found.
The subject of the discussion is the detailed planning of an attack to be carried out by Turkish special forces against a revered Turkish shrine (The tomb of Suleiman Shah, grandfather of the founder of the Ottoman empire) and blamed on Syria. The attack was to become the casus belli for an expanded Turkish war against Syria. In other words, it was to be a classic false flag operation straight from the Operation Gladio mould.
In the period between this discussion and details of it being leaked, Turkey has shot down a Syrian warplane that was targeting Al Nusra militants in Syrian territory. While Turkey claims the warplane violated Turkish airspace, the plane crashed in Syrian territory, and the pilot ejected and was recovered on Syrian soil. [6] The incident has been used by Turkey to lay the rhetorical groundwork to further escalate tensions between Ankara and Damascus. [7]
Parties to the discussion
and Turkish text. Audio begins at @0:0:40
- Recip Erdogan - Turkish prime minister
- Hakan Fidan - Turkish intelligence chief
- Lt Gen Yaşar Güler - Deputy chief of staff
- Ahmet Davutoğlu - Minister of foreign affairs
- Feridun Sinirlioğlu - Under-secretary, ministry of foreign affairs
- The leaked call details Erdogan's thoughts that an attack on Syria "must be seen as an opportunity for us [Turkey]".
- Intelligence chief Fidan says that he will send four men from Syria to attack Turkey to "make up a cause of war".
- Deputy Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Yaşar Güler replies that Fidan's projected actions are "a direct cause of war...what you're going to do is a direct cause of war".
- Turkey's foreign ministry said the leaked recording of top officials discussing the Syria operation was "partially manipulated" and is a "wretched attack" on national security.
Full transcript
(translated by @castizbey)
Hakan Fidan: "I'll send 4 men from Syria, if that's what it takes. I'll make up a cause of war by ordering a missile attack on Turkey; we can also prepare an attack on Suleiman Shah Tomb if necessary."
Yaşar Güler: "It's a direct cause of war. I mean, what're going to do is a direct cause of war."
First screen
Feridun Sinirlioğlu: But if we decide on an operation in there, it should create a shocking effect. I mean, if we are going to do so. I don't know what we're going to do, but regardless of what we decide, I don't think it'd be appropriate to notify anyone beforehand.
Yaşar Güler: It means we're in, yes.
Second screen
Yaşar Güler: Maybe we can tell the Syrian consulate general that, ISIL is currently working alongside the regime, and that place is Turkish land. We should definitely...
Yaşar Güler: To Syria...
Feridun Sinirlioğlu: That's right.
Yaşar Güler: Maybe his intent was to say that, I don't really know, he met with Mr. Fidan.
Yaşar Güler: Maybe that was what he meant... A diplomatic note to Syria?
Third screen
Feridun Sinirlioğlu: That's what I told back there. For one thing, the situation is different. An operation on ISIL has solid ground on international law. We're going to portray this is Al-Qaeda, there's no distress there if it's a matter regarding Al-Qaeda. And if it comes to defending Suleiman Shah Tomb, that's a matter of protecting our land.
Hakan Fidan: Second after it happens, it'll cause a great internal commotion (several bombing events is bound to happen within). The border is not under control...
Yaşar Güler: Mr. Fidan should urgently receive back-up and we need to help him supply guns and ammo to rebels. We need to speak with the minister. Our Interior Minister, our Defense Minister. We need to talk about this and reach a resolution sir.
Feridun Sinirlioğlu: I told you back then, for God's sake, General, you know how we managed to get those tanks in, you were there.
Feridun Sinirlioğlu: Yes, how do you think we've managed to rally our tanks into Iraq? How? How did we manage to get special forces, the battalions in? I was involved in that. Let me be clear, there was no government decision on that, we have managed that just with a single order.
Fourth screen
Yaşar Güler: Well, I agree with you. For one thing, we're not even discussing that. But there are different things that Syria can do right now.
Yaşar Güler: Look, sir, isn't MKE (Mechanical and Chemical Industry Corporation) at minister's bidding? Sir, I mean, Qatar is looking for ammo to buy in cash. Ready cash. So, why don't they just get it done? It's at Mr. Minister's command.
Yaşar Güler: Then, our Prime Minister can summon both Mr. Defence Minister and Mr. Minister at the same time. Then he can directly talk to them.
Fifth screen
Yaşar Güler: Also, it doesn't have to be a crowded meeting. Yourself, Mr. Defence Minister, Mr. Interior Minister and our Chief of Staff, the four of you are enough. There's no need for a crowd. Because, sir, the main need there is guns and ammo. Not even guns, mainly ammo. We've just talked about this, sir. Let's say we're building an army down there, 1000 strong. If we get them into that war without previously storing a minimum of 6-months' worth of ammo, these men will return to us after two months.
Yaşar Güler: They'll return to us, sir.
Yaşar Güler: Yes, indeed, sir. This matter can't be just a burden on Mr. Fidan's shoulders as it is now. It's unacceptable. I mean, we can't understand this. Why?
Sixth screen
Feridun Sinirlioğlu: We issued the MGK (National Security Council) resolution the day after. Then we talked with the general...
Yaşar Güler: Exactly, sir. You're absolutely right.
Seventh screen
Yaşar Güler: Sir, when you were inside a moment ago, we were discussing just that. Openly. I mean, armed forces are a "tool" necessary for you in every turn.
Eighth screen
Yaşar Güler: Sir.
Yaşar Güler: Exactly.
Yaşar Güler: I mean, do even one of the opposition parties support you in such a high point of national security? Sir, is this a justifiable sense of national security?
Ninth screen
Yaşar Güler: In what matter can we be unified, if not a matter of national security of such importance? None.
Feridun Sinirlioğlu: They were at their lowest back in 2012.
Yaşar Güler: Sir, to avoid any confusion, our need in 2011 was guns and ammo. In 2012, 2013 and today also. We're in the exact same point. We absolutely need to find this and secure that place.
