Veterans of the Turkish intelligence services of MIT: "The CIA is everywhere, and we are nowhere"

[Объединенное Детективное Бюро]

Veterans of the Turkish Secret Service MIT (National Intelligence Organization) claim: "The CIA is everywhere, and we are nowhere." Veterans of the Turkish Secret Service MIT (National Intelligence Organization) support plans for the reorganization of MIT according to the American model, providing for its division into analogues of the CIA and the FBI. At the same time, they draw attention to the fact that MIT does not have its agent networks abroad. - the newspaper Aksham writes. The thesis about the need to separate MIT into "external" and "internal" services was put forward by Hakan Fidan - the most likely candidate for the post of head of the secret service of Turkey - in his doctoral dissertation and is widely discussed in society. Fidan states that MIT has no work experience abroad and remains "fenced off from the outside world." Moreover, Fidan believes, one cannot expect from the Allies that they will continue to generously share intelligence information with Turkey, as was the case during the Cold War. According to the future Turkish “main agent”, MIT should solve the following tasks: support Turkish diplomacy, monitor the implementation of treaties, develop defense plans, conduct economic intelligence, confront external threats against Turkish interests, support the enforcement bodies and restore law and order, collect and analyze environmental information, participate in the "information war". Experts believe that the reform of the MIT should not be carried out in a hurry and should be carried out within the framework of the doctrine of national security, which Turkey does not yet have. MIT veterans, who were able to talk to newspaper correspondents, welcome such a separation of powers, but emphasize that it is impossible to neglect internal information by focusing on work abroad - this will prevent the operations “coming from outside”. Domestic information gathering cannot be entrusted to the police. According to them, external sources, for example, aiming to “reorient” the Turkish economy, use for this purpose some “nationalists, Kurds, leftists or ultra-right and even Ataturk’s supporters,” and MIT should monitor such actions. Veterans believe that MIT should act both on the territory of foreign states and monitor “operations from outside” in Turkey itself. Source: Link is not valid.
