- Erol Olçok, a long-time confidant of the Turkish president, predicted the transformation of the second-largest army in the NATO military alliance into a caliphate army under the command of Islamist President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
- Olçok foretold changes in the Turkish army, including direct orders from Erdogan and the purging of NATO officers. The restructuring followed a failed coup, leading to a massive purge within the military and the empowerment of Islamist forces.
- The role of Olçok in propaganda for Erdogan, as well as the influence of SADAT, a pro-Islamic paramilitary group, in the military restructuring, are highlighted. Despite US warnings, Erdogan proceeded with the purchase of S-400 systems, resulting in sanctions.
- Olçok's mysterious death and the inadequate investigations by Turkish authorities raise questions. His ex-wife Nihal Süleymanoğlu called for a thorough investigation into his death but became the target of a witch-hunt herself.
