I’m not fully satisfied with her answers, but Ms Tremblay explains one of the truly  exotic Turkish disputes over the pledge allegiance:

A senior AKP official from the security establishment told Al-Monitor on condition of anonymity, “The competition for government jobs is intense. AKP elites are bitter that MHP groups are getting bigger shares. The state cadres are being restructured, and the Grey Wolves are taking over the places of the Gulen members. This move is a juggling act by Erdogan; he oscillates between pious Muslims and dedicated militaristic ultra-nationalists.”
