İbrahim Kalın directed the process not only as someone who shaped security policies but also as a mind that analyzed the ideological, sociological, and economic sources that feed terrorism.
In recent years, Turkey has waged the most comprehensive struggle against terrorist organizations in its history, with resolute steps taken in the field of security. In the mountains, in cities, across borders… This struggle, carried out with the determination of the Turkish soldier and the deep strategy of the state mind, was shaped not only by armed operations but also by diplomatic intelligence, sociological analysis, and a long-term vision.
One of the architects of this grand vision is undoubtedly Prof. Dr. İbrahim Kalın.
Since his tenure as the Presidential Spokesperson, Kalın, who has been at the very heart of the state’s most strategic decision-making mechanisms, has distinguished himself not only with his intellectual accumulation but also with his statesman demeanor, knowing the field.
The diplomacy he conducted strengthened Turkey’s rightful theses not only at tables but also in hearts and minds.
Diplomatic contacts conducted with many actors, from the USA to Russia, from Europe to the Middle East, served as a shield against Turkey’s isolation in the fight against terrorism.
İbrahim Kalın directed the process not only as someone who shaped security policies but also as a mind that analyzed the ideological, sociological, and economic sources that feed terrorism.
His vision showed that the fight against terrorism is not only a military process but also a process that includes reconstructing our civilizational codes.
If Turkey today exhibits a strong stance both domestically and internationally against organizations like PKK, FETÖ, and ISIS, İbrahim Kalın’s strategically constructed ground and the institutional mind he directed play a significant role in this.
He is a statesman who speaks without shouting, and when he speaks, he is respected not only by those who hear but also by those who think.
A terror-free Turkey is no longer a dream. There are many heroes who have contributed to the realization of this dream. However, one of those heroes, perhaps the most silent one, is İbrahim Kalın, a name who builds ideas with his words and directs the state mind with his ideas…
Vesselam.
