Cage Operation Action Plan (Turkish: Kafes Operasyonu Eylem Planı) is the name given to an alleged plot by radical fringes of the Turkish left-wing secular establishment created in order to destabilize the governing Justice and Development Party party by pitting political and religious minorities against them.[1]
In a conspiracy that is somewhat reminiscent of Italy's strategy of tension during the 1970s, the plan calls for political terrorism and assassinations to be enacted against various groups of Eastern Orthodox, Armenians, Kurds, Jews and Alevis.[2] The plan apparently originates from secret societies within the Turkish military. It has been compared to the activities of Gladio during the years of lead.[3]
The European Union declared that it was closely following developments related to the Naval Forces Command plan.[4]
