Is the abolition of EMASYA enough?
8 February 2010 / GÜLAY GÖKTÜRK BUGÜN,
The Protocol on Cooperation for Security and Public Order (EMASYA) is no longer in force. Soon, Article 35 of the Internal Service Law will become history.
Yes, this protocol is one of the symbols of the Feb. 28 regime, and abolishing it is important not only in terms of its practical results but also from a symbolic perspective. It is instructive for the civilian or military circles who believed that the Feb. 28 process would last for 1,000 years. But we know that our problems will not all go away with the abolishment of EMASYA. There is a much bigger and more comprehensive problem such as the task of making our internal security more civilian. At a much more basic level, we need to ask: Is the role of the gendarmerie -- which is a military structure -- in internal security acceptable to a democratic regime?
