Dante's Manifesto
"Much of their bureaucracy is infiltrated by global bureaucrats and western spooks?"The term, "Deep State," actually originates from Turkey. Much of their bureaucracy is infiltrated by global bureaucrats and western spooks, yet their public state, and their populists and democracy, is at odds with it.
Their nation is schizophrenic, in much the same way, many nations on the planet are.
I can't really say, who stands for what, or what the public is for. Or what is going on there, TBH.
The Turkish Origins of the “Deep State”
"The “deep state” idea of a shadowy parallel government, heard much in the news now, seems to be a concept borrowed from the Turkish experience.

Curiously, there aren’t many political concepts Americans have borrowed from Turkish history, but the deep state seems to be one of them.
The Turkish phrase derin devlet literally means “deep state.” According to historian Ryan Gingeras, the term “generally refers to a kind of shadow or parallel system of government in which unofficial or publicly unacknowledged individuals play important roles in defining and implementing state policy.”
This concept of a deep state, Gingeras continues, is used to “explain why and how agents employed by the state execute policies that directly contravene the letter and spirit of the law.” Breaking the law, of course, often means employing criminals. Gingeras, a specialist in organized crime in Turkey, looks at the underbelly of the Turkish deep state to examine how alliances between generals, statesmen and “narcotic traffickers, paramilitaries, terrorists, and other criminals” are formed. (Elsewhere, Gingeras traces the heroin connection, noting that the Turkish deep state itself is riven by factional rivalries.)"
