CHAPTER 7 – ERGENEKON 
210 
true, yes, in front of Eskişehir’s sea of blood the shame called Eastern 
Question was ultimately drowned. This question which was a difficult 
mystery and which those whose eyes were blinded by fierce ambitions 
were unable so far to solve. Such a mystery which fills everyone’s heart 
with doubt and worry, keeps all those with insight and conscience 
sleepless all night and gives a break to no one. A question which was a 
knot in a belt firmly and tightly twisted around the world. No one’s 
strength was enough to untie it, everybody’s hands were trembling in 
front of this firm belt. In the end, a Turkish officer whose name had not 
yet passed in history, with a stroke of his sword cut this knot and this belt 
was untied and the world took a deep breath. Hey saviour’s sword, those 
who stretched their hand at you, must now feel very small. Because you 
became the only defender of truth, and again faith’s unique arm. Those 
who want to admit that the truth is an invincible power and that they 
cannot find any difference from the daunted monster of the faithless 
power are continuously astonished in front of the Victory at İnönü. They 
could not make sense of how the Greek armies equipped with the most 
perfect weapons was scattered and dispersed like clouds crushing on a 
steep cliff. These armies which for years were being fed with iron and 
dressed with steel. Gunpowder, cannonballs, airplanes and machine guns 
were reaching them from all the Mediterranean ports. How was it that 
this tired and naked army became victorious in the end although it was 
deprived of any help, gunpowder, cannonballs and airplanes, although it 
was for years subjected to all sort of difficulties and distress? Because 
the right was on its side, because it had faith in its heart. The thing dear 
to us today is not only the defeat of the enemy, it must be the revelation 
of this secret and the manifestation of this truth. Because for a nation like 
ours with countless such victorious epics in its history a simple victory 
without such a manifestation behind it would have been of no 
importance. Moreover, it is the Greek army. We have never considered 
this army as an equal to us enemy and we have not yet forgotten that 
twenty five years ago we swept this army away in its own country. To 
defeat the Greeks is not a praiseworthy cause. Our heart gets one more 
delight from the victory of right and of our faith which are our only 
armour and make our breast swell. We are rejoicing because we see the 
spiritual world behind the field which the hero watches standing on 
Metristepe. This world is like the Day of Judgement. All the 
motherland’s martyrs raise their heads from their graves, the old holy 
bodies which are one with the place where for years winds blow from the 
northern climates, emerge, break the iron and steel chains of the wronged 
nations and leap out from the prisons of darkness.
The glorification of the number of corpses (the true number, as noted in Chapter 2, 
was less than a thousand) brings to mind another piece in 
Ergenekon
which exults in
