Former president [[Süleyman Demirel]] says that the [[world view|outlook and behavior]] of the (predominantly military) elites who constitute the deep state, and work to uphold [[national interest]]s, are shaped by an entrenched belief, dating to the [[fall of the Ottoman Empire]], that the country is always "on the brink"<!-- brink of what?
