“The police detained three of the highest-ranking former generals in the country as part of a vast investigation into a movement accused of planning to overthrow the government,” Sebnem Arsu from the International Herald Tribune reports.

“Despite frenzied stories of coup plots, the Turkish army is becoming less likely to intervene in politics. That is all to the good,” The Economist remarks.

An indictment by prosecutors investigating allegations of a plot by some navy officers claims that 6 million Turks with Islamic tendencies were the subject of a smear campaign launched by an infamous unit operating within the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK).

According to Andrew Finkel; "there is a power struggle going on in the heart of the Turkish establishment, and not surprisingly many people are looking uneasily at their feet."

According to Eric Margolis from the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, "An intensifying struggle is under way between the two camps. On the surface, it's "secularism" versus "Islamic government." But that's just shorthand for the fierce rivalry between the military-industrial-security complex and Erdogan's supporters, many of whom are recent immigrants to the big cities from rural areas, where Islam remains vital in spite of eight decades of government efforts to stamp it out or tightly control it."

Joost Lagendijk discusses the binary legal system in Turkey under the recent developments related to the "Action Plan to Combat Reactionaryism."

"Is the Ergenekon affair helping to demilitarise Turkish politics? Or is the country’s post-Islamist government using it to advance its own authority at the expense of the military?", Hakkı Taş from Le Monde Diplomatique questions.

According to Bill Park, the Ergenekon case can be seen "as a battle for control over Turkey's institutions. The core choice is between (on one side) an inner core of unelected, self-appointed and often state-employed arch-nationalists whose 'culture of immunity' is at last under threat, and (on the other) an imperfectly democratic, illiberal, but nonetheless electorally popular new elite of Anatolian populists."

The fundamental target of the terrorism and anti democratic organizations in any country is to create chaos and disbelief in the legal system and Turkey is no exception. In this article, Cumhuriyet Daily Newspaper bombings and The Turkish Council of State Attack will be analyzed within the framework of the relationship with the alleged ETO (Ergenekon Terrorist Organization).
