Turkish 1937

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
1937 is a reference to the Stalinist purge of the Soviet military in 1937.
Text by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] Russia completely failed to notice Erdogan's victory over the previous Turkish army. And over the past two decades, not only have hundreds of generals and senior officers been imprisoned and fired (moreover, mass arrests and purges of the military in Turkey did not begin after the failed coup of 2016, but much earlier, see the Ergenekon case, etc.), but the entire system has been harshly reformatted.
The structure of the headquarters has been completely changed. Erdogan has purged the army officers as much as possible from the Milli İstihbarat Teşkilatı, the local State Security and Intelligence Service.
All the higher military schools with very long traditions, such as the Military Academy (which existed since 1834) and the Naval Academy (which dates back to 1773), have been disbanded. In their place, the National Military University has been created, under the leadership of a civilian - historian Erkan Afyoncu, who is very far from the generals. By the way, this Erdogan's chief military educator wrote his dissertation on the history of Crimea.
The military police and border guards have been transferred from the army to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. All military-industrial complex enterprises, previously directly controlled by the Turkish army, have been transferred under the control of the government. Even all military hospitals in the country and the Military Medical Academy have been subordinated to the Ministry of Health. At the same time, about four thousand military doctors and medical staff have been dismissed... Although what is there to count the dismissals of doctors, when in 2016 alone, 586 colonels were dismissed in Turkey - this is 10% of all colonels in the Turkish armed forces.
In a word, Erdogan's pogrom of the old Turkish army, created by the Westernized heirs of Ataturk, is underestimated here.
However, any purges are not only dismissed and/or imprisoned, but also open social elevators. That is, Erdogan's colonels and generals are replacing the old ones. The process there is complex, with a lot of intrigue, it brings both pluses and minuses for modern Turkey - in a word, it is very curious what will come out of it in the end.
| He purged the competent and promoted those with the right politics. It should definitely impact military effectiveness. |
P.S. For illustration - General Akin Ozturk, until July 2016, the commander-in-chief of the Turkish Air Force. In the photo on the right before the arrest (by the way, almost 6,000 hours of flight time on combat aircraft), and on the left - already under arrest, when Erdogan's investigators quickly beat a confession out of him that he was... a member of a Jewish Masonic lodge.
| A Jewish Mason? I thought President Erdogan was busily purging Gulenists. |
This is 1937 in Turkish.
