In 2014, [[Recep Tayyip Erdoğan]] coined the term "mastermind" ({{lang-tr|ust akil}}) to denote the alleged command and control institution, somewhat ambiguously placed with the government of the [[United States]], in a comprehensive conspiracy to weaken or even dismember Turkey, by orchestrating every political actor and action perceived hostile by Turkey.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2014/10/turkey-erdogan-middle-east-mastermind.html|title=The Middle East 'mastermind' who worries Erdogan|date=31 October 2014|publisher=[[Al-Monitor]]|author=Mustafa Akyol|accessdate=10 January 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2015/03/turkey-zion-protocols-akp-version.html|title=Unraveling the AKP's 'Mastermind' conspiracy theory|date=19 March 2015|publisher=[[Al-Monitor]]|author=Mustafa Akyol|accessdate=10 January 2017}}</ref><ref name=tinfoil>{{cite web|url=http://foreignpolicy.com/2016/09/12/the-tin-foil-hats-are-out-in-turkey/|title=The Tin-Foil Hats Are Out in Turkey|date=12 September 2016|publisher=[[Foreign Policy]]|author=Mustafa Akyol|accessdate=10 January 2017}}</ref> Erdoğan as well as the [[Daily Sabah]] have on multiple occasions alleged that very different non-state actors — like the Salafi jihadist [[Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant]] (ISIL), the Anarcho-Marxist [[Kurdistan Workers' Party]] (PKK) and the Islamist cult with political ambitions around [[Fethullah Gülen]] — were attacking Turkey at the same time in a well-coordinated campaign.<ref name="globalconspiracy">{{cite web|url=http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2017/01/turkey-believes-all-terrorists-are-united-against-it.html|title=Why Turkish government pushes 'global conspiracy' narrative|date=9 January 2017|publisher=[[Al-Monitor]]|author=Mustafa Akyol|accessdate=10 January 2017}}</ref> A notable instance of promoting the "Mastermind" conspiracy theory was in February 2017 [[Ankara]] Mayor [[Melih Gökçek]] claiming that earthquakes in the western province of Çanakkale could have been organized by dark external powers aiming to destroy Turkey’s economy with an "artificial earthquake" near Istanbul.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/foreign-powers-performing-earthquake-tests-near-istanbul-to-destroy-economy-ankara-mayor.aspx?pageID=238&nID=109436&NewsCatID=341|title=Foreign powers performing ‘earthquake tests’ near Istanbul to destroy economy: Ankara mayor|date=7 February 2017|publisher=Hurriyet Daily News|accessdate=7 February 2017}}</ref>
