					<description><![CDATA[In his article titled ‘Where Does ’State Rationality‘ Fit Within the Ruling Block?’, Ümit Aktaş summarizes all aspects of the debate on ‘state rationality’ initiated by CHP Central Executive Committee member Bülent Kuşoğlu. He defines the ruling block as follows: ‘…the ruling bloc is a concentration of power comprising political power (and mainstream parties), the bureaucracy, and capital with its various factions.’[1] First, the fact that capital holds a primary position within the ruling bloc means that capital […]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A joke sometimes reveals not just a person, but the mindset of an entire era. Sometimes a joke can convey in a few minutes what hundreds of pages of political, sociological, or historical texts cannot. Because people often reveal the world they carry deep within their minds not in their prepared speeches, but in the moments when they relax, laugh, and make others laugh. A few days ago, at a hospital opening, Rahmi Koç told a joke […]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[At a time when debates over the CHP’s party congress, criminal cases, rulings of absolute nullity, and questions of legitimacy are intensifying, Özgür Özel’s Newsweek article, written for the international public, is noteworthy. This is because the article does not merely assess political developments in Turkey; it frames these developments within the context of NATO, Europe, and regional security, presenting them as an international issue. Özgür Özel, the CHP’s General Chairman who was temporarily suspended from his duties, on 01 […]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It is easy to talk about cleansing a political party. The hard part is putting those words into action while being willing to pay the political price. One of Turkey’s biggest problems is that corruption, the rent-seeking system, and the plundering of public resources have become the norm. Merely making a few strong statements or issuing occasional outbursts is not enough in the face of this system.   As Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu put it, “We will purge ourselves” […]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The Rahmi Koç incident, which has been the subject of public debate in recent days, actually highlights an issue far more significant than a mere joke.   For those interested in the details of the debate, in-depth coverage of the story can be found on Euronews and Diken.   Of course, everyone is open to criticism. Of course, everyone has the right to react to a statement they find objectionable. This freedom is, after all, at the very foundation of democratic societies […]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The “system of guardianship” is dangerous for all civil and political organizations. If you see that “the drum is around one person’s neck while the drumstick is in another’s hand,” it means something else is going on. Those within the CHP whose plans to establish this system fell through are now trying to implement a “multi-headed party” model. Every kind of perception operation is being carried out to create the image of a “lawless party” that transcends the boundaries of internal party democracy, competition, and struggle […]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[  There are certain periods in Turkish politics where it is not so much the events themselves, but rather the reactions to those events that reveal the true character of the era. The Saraçhane process was precisely such a turning point. Because in Saraçhane, we did not merely witness support for a mayor. We also saw how certain circles—which for years have defined themselves as socialist, revolutionary, pro-public sector, pro-labor, and pro-people—actually […]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It is not just the leader that wins elections for a political movement. Nor is it just the organization. Nor is it just the economy or the agenda. What wins elections is the alignment between the promises made to voters and the party’s internal conduct. The fundamental challenge facing the CHP today is not so much defeating its rivals as it is rebuilding its own narrative. The most overlooked aspect of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu’s political career lies precisely here […]]]></description>

On Sunday, June 7, 2026, approximately 2.5 million Armenian citizens will head to the polls. However, the polls opening this Sunday hold significance far beyond merely determining the parliamentary arithmetic. The votes cast in Yerevan will shape the geopolitical fate of a vast region that includes the South Caucasus, Turkey, and Azerbaijan […]]]></description>
