Sibel Edmonds states that Operation Gladio was more active in Turkey than in any other European nation state.[1] The 1996 Susurluk car crash dramatically exposed the Turkish deep state and can even be through to be the beginning of the exposure of the concept of the deep state.

Sibel Edmonds has stated that Turkey is a key transit and refinement point for opium before it is shipped by deep state controlled planes from Afghanistan.[2] In 1996, Hüseyin Baybaşin claimed that the heroin distribution operations are controlled by former police chief and then-minister Turkish of the interior Mehmet Agar. In 1997 he claimed that Turkish president Suleyman Demirel and Turkish Prime minister Tansu Ciller were also involved.[3]
Sibel Edmonds has stated that when she was working for the FBI, Turkey was one of 4 countries which they were not permitted to monitor under FISA (the others being Belgium, UK and Azerbaijan).[4]
ISIS Oil trafficking
Russia's defense ministry claimed in December 2015 to have proof that Turkey was involved in the Islamic State oil trade.[5]

| 1997 Turkish military memorandum | “In Turkey we have a marriage of Islam and democracy. (...) The child of this marriage is secularism. Now this child gets sick from time to time. The Turkish Armed Forces is the doctor which saves the child. Depending on how sick the kid is, we administer the necessary medicine to make sure the child recuperates.” | Çevik Bir | |
| Recep Tayyip Erdoğan | “The wannbe Sultan of a new Ottoman Reich, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, let his people vote in a referendum about new extensive powers for his office. Yesterday's "yes"/"no" vote was allegedly won by the "yes" side with 51.4% of the votes. This even though the "no" vote won in all major cities. In Turkey the vote in the major cities usually reflects the total. The campaign for the vote was very unfair with all state media and offices pushing for a "yes". Opposition politicians were put to jail or threatened with retribution. Media opposing Erdogan were suppressed or completely closed down.
There is significant reasons to believe that the vote count was fraudulently manipulated. On the day of the vote the election commission, stuffed with Erdogan cronies, suddenly allowed ballots without the official stamp to be counted. According to Turkish election laws each ballot, and each envelope of a postal vote, needs to be officially stamped before voting starts. This is supposed to prevent ballot stuffing with ballots printed outside of the official channels. The election commission has given no reason yet why it thought that such a last minute rule change, in opposition to the law, was necessary or even legal. Use of unstamped ballots was reported out of many election localities in rural areas where the "yes" votes now were the majority. Additionally video was recorded of local election workers stamping ballots after they had been used for voting. The opposition is protesting and will go to court. But it will likely have little success. Erdogan has removed all judges and other legal personal that could go against him. An amateurish coup attempt against him, which he knew about before it happened, was used by him to clean all public offices of people not aligned with his party and program. The new powers of the presidency will only come into force after the next election for the presidency. But everyone expects that Erdogan will use them right away. With the issue of the referendum put aside Erdogan is now free to escalate interior and exterior conflicts. We can expect new Turkish operations in Syria as well as in Iraq to be launched soon. In the 1990s I extensively traveled in Turkey - alone, by local buses and mostly in the east. The country was waking up and in an intellectual and commercial growing phase. During the last years a new wave of conservatism has stopped that move. My friends there report of stagnation. Turkey does not have the economic and intellectual power to become a new Ottoman Reich. It will fail in new expansive endeavors. But the attempt alone will be destructive for Turkey as well as for the countries around it. Turkey is no longer a democracy. It is now a one man dictatorship with an expansive and distinct Islamist agenda. To change that will require the removal of Erdogan through some act of force.” | Recep Tayyip Erdoğan | |
| Wayne Madsen | “The Turkish Gray Wolves and the pan-Turkic National Action Party (NAP) made common cause with the neo-cons and their Israeli friends. The Wolves and the NAP considered the peoples of Soviet Central Asia to be "captive Turks." The Turkish right-wing nationalists foresaw a nuclear-armed Turkey extending from Thrace to the central Asian steppes.” | Wayne Madsen | 28 May 2007 |
| Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu | “It is not possible to give up our rights and interests in the Eastern Mediterranean just because sanctions will come or because the EU will criticize us.” | Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu | 14 December 2020 |
