Όταν στις 22 Μαϊου 2008 ο  στενός συνεργάτης μας Σάββας Καλεντερίδης έγραφε και αποκάλυπτε για πρώτη φορά στα ελληνικά ΜΜΕ, αλλά και σε παγκόσμια αποκλειστικότητα, τα συγκλονιστικά αποκαλυπτικά στοιχεία και τα ντοκουμέντα μέσα από το Greek American News Agency, για την δράση της ΕΡΓΕΝΕΚΟΝ, της πλέον επικίνδυνης παραστρατιωτικής οργάνωσης στην γειτονική Τουρκία  τότε δεν μπορούσαμε να φανταστούμε το μέγεθος των αποκαλύψεων που έρχονταν στο φως της δημοσιότητας μέσα από το πρακτορείο μας. Λίγες ημέρες αργότερα το site ξαφνικά έπεφτε μυστηριοδώς…Στην αρχή δεν δώσαμε ιδιαίτερη σημασία και νομίσαμε ότι είναι κάποιο τεχνικό πρόβλημα ή  οι "γνωστοί άγνωστοι" που όπως πάντα επιχειρούν να ρίξουν ή να μπλοκάρουν το site όταν όμως στη συνέχεια  οι μέρες περνούσαν-είχαμε μείνει ofline πάνω από 72 ώρες- οι τεχνικοί μας μετά από επισταμένη έρευνα ημερών στην έδρα της εταιρίας του server  διαπίστωσαν ότι τα ηλεκτρονικά ίχνη των δραστών  οδηγούσαν κάπου στην Άγκυρα   τότε καταλάβαμε ότι αιτία της "πτώσης μας" ήταν οι αποκαλύψεις για την ERGENEKON.  Λίγες ημέρες αργότερα στενός μας συνεργάτης και αρθρογράφος  γνώστης και ειδήμων στα θέματα αυτά  μας ειδοποιούσε ότι Τούρκοι hackers μας είχαν ρίξει…

Σήμερα οι εκρηκτικές πολιτικές  διαστάσεις της υπόθεσης που καθημερινά διογκώνονται μέσα από το εύρος των συνεχών αποκαλύψεων του Τουρκικού στρατιωτικού Κεμαλικού κατεστημένου που νιώθει να απειλείται στην γειτονική Τουρκία   από τις συνεχείς αποκαλύψεις που έρχονται στο φως της δημοσιότητας και στην Τουρκία με απρόβλεπτες διαστάσεις για την δημοκρατία του Πρωθυπουργού Ερντογάν στην γειτονική Τουρκία μας δικαίωσαν για την επιλογή και απόφαση μας να δημοσιεύσουμε την μεγάλη  έρευνα του στενού συνεργάτη μας και πρώην  αξιωματικού της ΕΥΠ κ. Σάββα Καλεντερίδη. Δεν είναι τυχαίο ότι των αποκαλύψεων πρωτοστατεί η φιλοκυβερνητική zaman ενώ καθημερινά φαίνεται πως η Τουρκία οδεύει σε μια παρατεταμένη περίοδο πολιτικής αβεβαιότητας και αστάθειας ενώ δεν είναι λίγοι οι αναλυτές που εκτιμούν πως αν ο Πρωθυπουργός Τ.Ερντογάν καταφέρει να σπάσει τον ιστό της αράχνης που λέγεται ERGENEKON  τα δίχτυα της οποίας έχουν απλώσει τους ιστούς τους στα πιο καίρια σημεία του Κεμαλικού κράτους -στο στρατό και το δικαστικό σώμα- ίσως να μιλάμε για μια νέα περίοδο στην μετά Κεμάλ εποχή…Αν όχι, τότε η Τουρκία θα βυθιστεί για ακόμα μια φορά στο τέλμα των επιδιώξεων των Τούρκων στρατηγών. Και ας μη ξεχνάμε ότι κάθε φορά που η Τουρκία περνά από μια τόσο βαθία κρίση το φάρμακο για την εσωτερική τόνωση και συσπείρωση είναι τα παιχνίδια πολέμου με την Ελλάδα… Σήμερα τα όσα έρχονται στην δημοσιότητα όχι μόνο στον Ελληνικό αλλά κυρίως στον Τουρκικό και διεθνή Τύπο είναι όσα αποκάλυψε έγκαιρα ο  συνεργάτης μας κ. Σάββας Καλεντερίδης ο οποίος μελετά και παρακαλουθεί στενά  τη δράση της ERGENEKON όσο κανείς άλλος ακόμα και μέσα στην ίδια την Τουρκία! Ενδεικτικά είναι τα όσα γράφει -και θα εξακολουθεί να γράφει για μέρες – ο παγκόσμιος Τύπος. Σε επόμενες συνδέσεις σας νέα αποκαλυπτικά στοιχεία για τη δράση της πιο επικίνδυνης οργάνωσης στην Τουρκία.
