Funerals have begun in turkey for some of the 42 People Killed in a triple suicide bombing tuesday targeting turkeys main airport in istanbul. The attack also left 239 other the attack injured more than 230 people. Authorities said three attackers arrived at the Airports International terminal by taxi and blew themselves up after opening fire. The airport is the 11th busiest in the world. No group claimed responsibility for the attack but turkeys Prime Minister said the initial probe pointed to the selfproclaimed Islamic State or daesh. Earlier today Turkish Police raided 16 locations in istanbul and detained 13 people on suspicion of involvement in the attack. Turkey has seen an uptick in bombings since last year when the United States began using turkeys Incirlik Air Base to carry out bombing raids in syria and iraq targeting isis strongholds. Tuesdays attack came just one day after turkey restored diplomatic ties with israel after a sixyear rupture. On wednesday, i got in touch with chalishkan, associate professor of Political Science at buazichee university in istanbul. We reached him at his home by democracy now video stream and asked him to respond to the attack. it isssor chalishkan really sad this happened. We know there is a threat of terrorism, but this was internalized more in turkey. In the last 12 months we saw 17 bombings that cost the lives off and94 people, wounded 1009, not even one single official left office, resigned. And the islamist authoritarian government did not acceptt that there was a Security Breach in turkey. Three isishat these terrorists entered istanbul airport passing a Security Check a. K. A. Aknades, guns, handguns, and to airport building after the first Security Check, and began shooting at people during and after the second check. This is a great problem, and i eve because no one rdoganan theyey have not bebn woworking well to take care of security messasage messieurs measures, anand take aim at thee heheart of the terrorist organization. Learn of the most t importantt sources fofor open source secury and intel intelligence, is twitter, facebook, and internet correspondence, right . In turkey, twitter is blocked right now. Facebook is blocked. We cant talk to each other through twitter. We cant talk to each other through fafacebook. Why . Y . Because the government and president himself do not wantt peopople to criticize them, criticize their weakness. I will give you another example. We had another unfortunate bombing in brussels a few months ago. You would remember. Authorities to open the airport six days because they studied every Security Breach in that airport, and fixed them, and open the airport. Six days. In tururkey last night, only six hours after the bombing, despite the unacceptable Security Breach in the gate of the airport, the government decided to open the airport. It cost 41 lives. Not even a single elected ofofficial resigned or forced to resign. Nothing really works in this country. The economy is going bad. Democracy we lost it technically, turkey is a regimetive authoritarian ruled by authohoritarian islamis. In terms of security, you see what is going on. No one really feel secure in this country anymore, and because of the increasing terrorist activities of pkk, the governrnment does not know whato do other thahabombing people, shutting down train twitter, what authoritarian regimes do from north korea to syria, from russia to turkey. Amy what about the warnings that had come in a few weeks ago of something like, 30, or so, isis fighters coming over the border from syria the turkish government very much understood the popossibilitity of an attack during ramadan, especially in these last days where people are traveling. Prof. Caliskan there has been intelligence about it from u. S. Embassies, french embassies, german embassies our government doesnt tell us anything about it. The u. S. Told about the possibility of bombings, and there has been close to 30 terrorists entering turkey planning a attacks. We did not hear anything from our government. This happened before. Was an attack and a German Embassy asked german schools to be emptied, told citizens nonoto go to the avenue and around it. Less than 24 hours later, we had a bombing. Our government is not telling us anything, because first, in their mind, if they warn people, they think peoplple will think they are not doing their job, but on the contrary, if they won us if t they take intellilige seriously, you would think they are doing their job. Right now, n nobody reallyly ths they are doing their job. They are shouting at journalists, academics, intellectuals, for criticizing them. Again wanted to ask you about the timing. On monday, israeli Prime Minister benjamin then yahoo o unannounced d restoration of tis wiwith turkey,y, includingng ind announcedn netanyahu restoration of ties with turkey. Mr. Netanyahu israel has reached an agreementnt with a gs supply to supply the egyptian market, which we i intend to wok with, and also the turkish market, and the supply of gas the a turkey to europe. This is a strategic manner for the state of israel. This matter could not have been advanced without this agreement, and now we will take action to advance it. Amy you have the reestablishment of ties between turkey and israel this week, and also turkey seeing an uptick in bombings since the u. S. Started using an airbase to carry out bomb raids in syria. On tuesday, secretary of state john kerry spoke after the deadly attack. Kerryry we are still trying to ascertaiain infororma, what happened, andnd who did it. I will not comment further o on it, except to say this is daily fare, and the first action we need to take is combating nonstate violent actors for a host of reasons. Amy can you respond to both erry and tieies with israel. If you t think they are related. Prof. Caliskan i do not think the bombing is related d to the establishing of the dramatic relations with israel and k errys comments, because first, you do not have time to react, and two, inin the past month, there have been 17 bombings in turkey. Youre talking about one terrorist attack every three weeks. This is another thread. There is a war against turkey that the president and thehe government of the islamist takeritarian akp do not seriously. I think it is very sad that turkey stepped back from its principles, its foreignpolicy principles. A against the were blockade, the embargo of palestinians, and they by a gimmick by giving aid to israel so they can diststribute aid to any palestinian anytime at once. Ninegot the money for people that is really dispense defend that Israeli Defense forces killed in international waters, and accepted they wont be sued in turkey or taken to court in an system. Ional justice that was attempting to break the blockade of gaza. For twoliskan yes, reasons, they are not related. See he hase realizes made a lot of mistakes. Russia claims they are bombing. Rish isis in turkey, they say they didnt apologize. Pay are planning to play for the downing of the plane, and they are planning to get the money from israel. I dont really undnderstand what principles are changing here. On one hand, they are , on theining the military other hand they are willing to make peace with them. On one hand, they pretend as if they have principles. On the other hand, they do their best to violate those principles. I think they are losing control of foreign and domestic policy because of one reason, erdogans dream of becoming a president of a president ial system. Amy professor, earlier this year, more than 1000 turkish academics signed a peace position. Can you talk about erdogans reaction, an
