The new year sun, pale and spectral, filtered through the armored windows of the National Security Council headquarters on Çankaya Hill, casting an ashen light across the polished walnut table in the Situation Room. The air was heavy with the scent of freshly brewed tea and the faint undertone of stress that clung to every leather chair and wool-blend uniform. Maps of Europe and the Middle East lined the walls, dotted with small red markers. A digital board flickered silently behind them: POLAND: ŁÓDŹ INCIDENT – 18 CONFIRMED DEAD – SECURITY LEVEL: RED.

General Veysel Kurt arrived. His jaw was clenched, his posture stiff as he looked at the digital board. "Poles sent their message," he said without sitting, holding the printed communiqué with a gloved hand. "They want everything we have on a man named Kemal Hazar."

Admiral Erden Zaimoğlu, ever the composed, sat at the side of the table. He glanced at the letter, then at Kurt.

"Let me guess," Zaimoğlu said dryly, settling into his chair with a sigh. "You’re going to propose we send a battalion through Belarus and take the man ourselves."

General Arda Yılmaz, the elder statesman of the group, a silver fox with sharp eyes and the clipped accent of a Turkish academy instructor. He took his seat slowly. “They say Hazar boarded the train shortly before it exploded. Convenient timing, if nothing else.”

Kurt tossed the paper on the table, letting it flutter. “He’s from Diyarbakır. That alone should've raised red flags when they gave him asylum,” Kurt said. “We warned the West. About our fugitives. About what happens when you grant sanctuary to radicals. They didn’t listen. Now it’s their civilians in body bags.”

“And you believe this is a Kurdish operation?” Zaimoğlu asked, eyebrow raised.

Kurt’s glare was unflinching. “PKK or some offshoot. Could be one of the Red Kurdistan factions we flushed out in '95. Could be something newer. Doesn’t matter. He was one of ours. One of theirs now. He bombed an ally’s civilians.”

Arda interjected coolly, fingers steepled. “You want to use this to get the Poles on our side.”

“Not just Poland,” Kurt replied. “All of them. Warsaw is the bleeding heart of the West. If we supply them with intel, thorough, exacting, no omissions. It opens a door. They won’t ignore our intelligence requests anymore. The west can’t call us fascists while asking for our help tracking terrorists in their own backyard.”

Zaimoğlu leaned forward slightly. “And in exchange, what? They extradite him and hand us a few compliments in the press?”

“I want extradition,” Kurt replied. “But I also want acknowledgement. That we’ve been the ones on the front line. That Diyarbakır and Hakkâri and Şırnak were the early warnings they ignored. This is our moment.”

Arda Yılmaz tapped the table twice, his signal for patience. “There is an opportunity here, yes. But you want to rush it. We hand them everything, they close the case on Hazar. But we also confirm their story. That this man was one of ours. That we missed him. Or worse, tolerated him.”

Zaimoğlu turned the teacup slowly between his palms. “And we also confirm that a Turkish national, under a humanitarian visa we publicly protested, executed a major act of terrorism on European soil. It internationalizes the Kurdish issue.”

“You mean externalizes it,” Kurt snapped.

Zaimoğlu didn’t blink. “Yes. And I’m not sure that’s in our interest.”

Kurt’s fists clenched. “You still believe this is something we can manage with peace gestures? With reconciliation? What will it take to convince you, Admiral? A bomb in Kraków? Or Berlin? Or Ankara again?”

“Enough,” Arda said, his voice sharp. “Both of you.”

He looked at them like a father watching two sons argue over something neither understood.

“We release partial data. Enough to establish concern. Not guilt. We cooperate with Poland, but we do not rush to name Hazar unless MİT confirms operational ties. We control the narrative. We link the PKK, TAK, YPG, to this offshoot.”

Kurt leaned back, furious but silent.

Zaimoğlu nodded once, grudgingly. “And if they push for full files?”

“Then we remind them we want to have a full agreement in place,” Arda said. “And that alliances, like intelligence, are built on trust, not demands.”

The others nodded as a couse of action was determined and transmitted to the Turkish intelligence agency.
