The Republic founded by Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk is not based on ethnic identity, but on an understanding of nationhood based on citizenship. This understanding is a mortar that unites differences, not divides them.<\/p>\n
When we take a bird's eye view of the social, economic and political situation in Turkey today, we see that we are faced with a picture that is too deep to be explained by the classic \u201cfrog metaphor\u201d. It is as if society has been dragged to a point where it reacts in the same way no matter what the circumstances.<\/p>\n
Siyasi hesaplar u\u011fruna derinle\u015fen kutupla\u015fma, artan ekonomik s\u0131k\u0131nt\u0131lar ve sosyal \u00e7\u00fcr\u00fcme art\u0131k ink\u00e2r edilemez bir ger\u00e7ekliktir. \u00d6zellikle ba\u015fkanl\u0131k sistemiyle birlikte siyasetin %50+1 denklemine indirgenmesi, toplumu keskin hatlarla ayr\u0131\u015ft\u0131rm\u0131\u015f; ortak paydalar\u0131 zay\u0131flatm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r.<\/p>\n
Add to this the issue of uncontrolled migration and refugees, and it is not difficult to see that the country is caught in the middle of an equation with many unknowns.<\/p>\n
Worse still, in such a critical geography, going through such a sensitive process, society's threshold of tolerance has fallen and political debates have turned into insulting language rather than a platform for generating ideas. Even on issues concerning the unity of the country, instead of producing common sense, the parties blame each other.<\/p>\n
This situation facilitates the work of foreign powers, terrorist organizations and malicious structures.<\/p>\n
When we get to the heart of the matter, we find three main elements: Economy, Religion and understanding of Atat\u00fcrk.<\/strong><\/p>\n Foreign dependency in the economy and the lack of a national production and development model have made the country fragile.<\/p>\n In the religious sphere, approaches that are far from sincerity and instrumentalize religious values undermine social trust.<\/p>\n On the other hand, the tendency of some circles claiming to be Atat\u00fcrkists to use Atat\u00fcrk instead of understanding him, and their distant stance towards religious values, harm social cohesion.<\/p>\n As a result, the economy is dependent on foreigners, religion is abused and Atat\u00fcrk's ideas are left unattended.<\/p>\n However, the mortar of this country is a struggle for existence in poverty.<\/p>\n Even under the most difficult conditions, Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk succeeded in uniting the whole society, whether Turkish, Kurdish, Arab, Laz, Circassian, Alevi or Sunni. This spirit of unity is the foundation of the struggle against imperialism.<\/p>\n Today, although conditions are much more favorable than in the past, we are struggling to restore the same spirit of unity.<\/p>\n What needs to be done at this point is clear: Uniting in Atat\u00fcrk.<\/strong><\/p>\n Uniting in Atat\u00fcrk;<\/p>\n This means 86 million people living in peace, brotherhood and prosperity.<\/p>\n One of the biggest threats Turkey faces is ethnic-based segregation and identity politics. However, the definition of nation put forward by Atat\u00fcrk is inclusive:<\/p>\n \u201cThe people of Turkey who founded the Republic of Turkey are called the Turkish nation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n This expression is not exclusionary but unifying.<\/p>\n Today, lasting success in the fight against terrorism is only possible if society unites around a common spirit. That spirit is the spirit of national unity set forth by Atat\u00fcrk.<\/p>\n The unitary state structure and the understanding of secularism, one of Atat\u00fcrk's most fundamental principles, guarantee the coexistence of differences on the basis of equal citizenship. Secularism is an insurance that unites, not divides.<\/p>\n Conclusion;<\/p>\n A sense of common history, common citizenship law and the ideal of a common future... That's why; Because today, uniting in Atat\u00fcrk is not a choice; it is a necessity for the future of Turkey.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The unitary state structure and the understanding of secularism, one of Atat\u00fcrk's most fundamental principles, guarantee the coexistence of differences on the basis of equal citizenship.
