From Ali, the Angry Arab's correspondent in Turkey: "The post regarding the Turkish diplomat confession about Reyhanlı attack was carried out by al-Qaeda contains a manipulation. Turkish people don't "widely believe" that the attack was carried out by Bashar al-Assad regime.
Reyhanlı town has been a stronghold of AKP government and after a few hours of the attack, local people protested government...Although it was the biggest terrorist attack in Turkey's history, PM Erdoğan didn't (or couldn't) go to town because of huge reaction. Also protests erupted in Turkish universities, claiming the real responsible of Reyhanlı bombings was PM Erdoğan and FM Davutoğlu's interventionist policies in Syria. Many sees these protest triggered the massive Gezi protests.
PS: Today's Zaman belongs to Fethullah Gülen community. Fethullah Gülen criticises PM Erdoğan with "going to far in Syria", disturbing the ties with US. Not the intervention itself his point of objection. "
