After an interview with AMiB (you should read my previous post to understand what that means), I decided the following.
We’ve always wanted to write opinion pieces and engage in politics with the kind support of our Chairman, Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu, but it just isn’t working out.
“They say you have to speak to everyone in a language they understand!” With that in mind, and with your permission, I am publishing the following article!
Heraclitus says;
“You can’t step into the same river twice.” In fact, you can’t even step into the same river once, because the river is flowing.
You can’t step into the same river twice, because the river changes.
No matter how many times you step into the river, it is never the same river; the flowing waters have long since passed, replaced by new waters. You are not the same person either; in the time that has passed, you have grown older, your cells have regenerated, and your mind has changed.
Everyone is criticizing the invalidity of the election, the court ruling, and so on. But no one is seeing the full picture. Those who criticize the fact that you were appointed by a court ruling are represented by delegates sold for $1,000 at a nightclub and the “Turnstile Longings.” We look at the picture from this angle and we don’t accept it.
Having the same delegates at a convention is like washing with dirty water.
Those who accept this can tell Kılıçdaroğlu whatever they want. We were expelled from the party because we refused to accept it, and I’m proud that I didn’t go along with it. There are a few people I’d like to see learn from this.
I’m addressing the central leadership, which prioritizes “moral policing” when drawing up the candidate lists for Samsun. Thank you for aiming to select the most immoral people in Turkey while excluding candidates—and for not including us in this picture by failing to nominate us.
God may postpone it until tomorrow, but He won’t let it go unpunished! Today you’ll be held accountable for those files you’ve been carrying around!
If you don’t want to die of thirst among people, you must learn to drink from any cup; if you want to stay clean among people, you must even know how to wash with dirty water.
Kılıçdaroğlu has waded back into this murky river. Call it invalid, dismissed, or a trustee—whatever you want to call it—Kılıçdaroğlu has made the boldest decision. He has agreed to wade back into that dirty river to clean it up and make it a clean river where fish of every color can swim.
I dedicate this to the 138 lawmakers who voted for and against this today: you will either be the representatives of those $1,000-a-night nightclub-loving delegates and the "Turnike Özlem" types, or you will be the representatives of integrity, like Kılıçdaroğlu!
This Is the Real Choice!
