There have been unproven allegations that hard-liners within the military prepared two coups d'état against the Erdogan government in 2004, only to find themselves stopped each time by General Özkök.

For precisely that reason, Islamists and Kurdish separatists alike viewed Büyükanit with distaste. Indeed, some tried to frame him as having been behind a November 2005 grenade assault on a bookstore owned by a sympathizer of the terrorist Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) in the southeastern Anatolian city of Semdinli. The accusers' theory was that Büyükanit belonged to a conspiracy to manufacture unrest that would, in turn, provide the pretext for a nationalist backlash and opposition to EU accession. Investigators did turn up substantial evidence that the intelligence division of the Jandarma (the national-police wing of the armed forces) was involved in planning and executing the assault. Given the suspected infiltration of Islamists into key intelligence and security posts, however, this was not a total surprise

The AKP wanted the temporary articles 18 and 19, which declared that the eleventh president of Turkey would be elected by the people, to be taken out of the referendum package. On October 8, the Parliamentary Commission on the Constitution approved this. The opposition then brought a lawsuit before the Constitutional Court to overrule parliament's decision to exempt Gül from direct election. On 27 November 2007, the Court dismissed this suit. The judges explained that they were authorized to rule solely on the legality of the voting in parliament, which they found had been fairly conducted in keeping with that body's rules.
