The United States Army, one of the architects of the recent Turkey coup plot,
would have built a new military base at the zero point of the Turkey-Syria border,
if coup plotters were successful in overtaking the power of
the military, intelligence, police security, legislative and judiciary institutions in Turkey.
The junta regime would have allowed the U.S. military
to establish a military base near the Syrian border, if the coup didn't fail, sources said.
The CIA's 'Safari' Team
Sources close to the investigators of the failed coup attempt said the CIA
established a special team with the code name of “Safari" to operate the coup plot process.
General John F. Campbell, a former US commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF),
organized meetings and preparations that lasted over eight-and-half-a-months before the Turkey coup.
Campbell was the head of the Turkey leg of the “Safari"
special team established by CIA for commanding junta in Turkey.
Though Campbell formally retired from his post in March this year,
he has been running the U.S. military's secret agenda in Turkey.
He was commissioned to lead the Turkey operation for an extra two years, the sources said.
Campbell was working as the middle man / mediator between parties.
He held several meetings both with the Junta in Turkey and CIA authorities in the U.S.
According to military sources, the coup plotters agreed to allow the U.S. authority
to establish a U.S. military base at the Turkey-Syria border.
The new military base would have been furnished with more advanced technology,
making it more capable of extensive tasks than the İncirlik airbase
in the southeastern province of Adana.
Putschist also promised to upset the balances in the area
by blocking Russia in a military and economic manner
after establishing a coup regime in Turkey in the second half of 2016.
According to the plan, Turkey would have been designed by the U.S.
and the country would have been under Washington's full control.
If they had failed to take full control,
then the second plan would have been implemented: turning Turkey into a new Syria.
