Yalman Haceroğlu writes: Concepts of revolution, coup, and falsification of historical facts
Before going into the details of this complicate and sensitive topic, the details of which have been confused for many Arabs and non-Arabs around the world, we must first begin by defining the concepts of revolution and coup according to what all political and philosophical schools in the world have stipulated, such as the Rosenthal Philosophical Group, the free Wikipedia, the British Encyclopedia, and the works of John Locke, Arnold Toynbee, Jean-Paul Sartre, and many others; where they agreed on the following:
Coup: is the overthrow of the existing ruling system by a limited group of military personnel through secrecy and deception; and then they themselves assume the leadership of the country’s government, whether the various groups of the people participate or not.
Revolution: is the exit of most of the various sectors of the people in the streets and public squares and in a public manner to overthrow the existing ruling system and replace it with another, whether the military institution participates or not.
So the two definitions are very clear in meaning, connotation, and direction.
Examples of the greatest revolutions in modern and contemporary history in the four corners of the earth during the last three centuries; we mention the Great American Revolution of 1776, the French Revolution of 1789, the German Revolution of 1857, the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia of 1917, the Ahmed Orabi Revolution in Egypt of 1919, the Revolution of the Twentieth in Iraq of 1920, and the Islamic Iranian Revolution of 1979.. As these revolutions were complete in their elements, description, and image in light of what was mentioned in the definition above regarding ((revolution))
What is the group of bloody coups that swept through the Middle Ages, and which were falsely and slanderously called revolutions, they are very many.. They were carried out by a group of military officers who overthrew the ruling regime in a bloody and intelligence-driven manner without the people knowing about it.. such as the coup of July 23, 1952 in Egypt; and the coups of July 14, 1958, February 8, 1963, and July 17, 1968 in Iraq; And Muammar Gaddafi’s coup in September 1969; and Hafez al-Assad’s coup in Syria in 1970.. all of them are purely military coups in form, content and essence; and they have no relation to the concept of revolutions, neither near nor far.. but they were described as revolutions to give them popular and political legitimacy; and also to justify all the crimes of the new military coup leaders; the latest of which was the Egyptian coup on June 30, 2013 when the legitimate government of President Morsi was overthrown; and the military took over the leadership of the Egyptian state again..
.. So we are now facing important historical facts and events; their descriptions, titles and results have been falsified and distorted in an ugly way with premeditation and deliberation.
.. It is enough to confirm that all European countries have not known any military coups since World War II 1939 ~ 1945 until today; As for the countries of South America and most of the countries of Africa, they are still living in a stage of bloody military coups almost every two years; and in the same way: a group of army and intelligence officers kill the president of the country and his assistants and seize power without any clear constitutional or political justification or right.
.. We clearly believe that all the military coups witnessed by the countries of the world, especially in Africa and Latin America, are ((international intelligence wars by proxy)) and each of the major countries possesses a group of secret intelligence mechanisms and means through which it can overthrow the ruling regimes through ((surprise military intelligence coups)).. We also believe and even believe that these military coups will continue in most countries of Africa and Latin America as long as the ideological, economic and military conflicts continue clearly between the major countries..
Based on the concept of revolution, we can assert that the events of the Syrian crisis are a popular uprising that began in mid-March 2011, when demonstrations broke out in several Syrian cities demanding freedoms, the release of political detainees from prisons, and the lifting of the state of emergency. Then, with time, the ceiling of demands gradually increased until it reached the complete overthrow of Bashar al-Assad’s regime.
