On social media, there are fascists who call themselves ataturkists, republicans and secularists, but when they remove the mask, they are just like ISIS terrorists.
\nthis underdeveloped primate who used the insult \u201csword residue.\u201d, an insult that circulated in neighborhoods and even on some television screens
\nAnd to whom is this insult directed? Alevis, known for their lives, their faith and their attachment to this land for millennia.<\/p>\n
Who are these so-called \u201cremnants of the sword\u201d?<\/p>\n
They are the yeast of Anatolia, the breath of Khorasan, the word of Pir Sultan, the poetry embroidered on the skin of Nesimi.
\nThey are the hearths that were burned in 1514 in \u00c7ald\u0131ran, and the 40 thousand lives that were thrown into wells in the 16th century by Yavuz's edict as \u2019K\u0131z\u0131lba\u015f\u201c.
\nBut the real issue is recent history.<\/p>\n
Mara\u015f 1978:<\/strong> In 7 neighborhoods, houses were raided, people were shot at their workplaces, in front of mosques, on the balconies of their homes. The official figure is 106, the unofficial figure is much higher. Children born that night were called \u201corphans of Mara\u015f\u201d.<\/p>\n Corum 1980:<\/strong> The massacre that started the day before the election took 57 lives. The bodies were removed en masse, no one claimed them. The wounded were threatened in hospitals.<\/p>\n Sivas 1978:<\/strong> Yes, you have not heard wrong. Exactly 15 years before July 2, 1993, another massacre took place in Sivas on September 4, 1978. As part of the dirty game called \u2019right-left conflict\u2019 of the period, 11 more Alevi lives were targeted and killed in the center of Sivas. The city was turned into a war zone. This event was like a harbinger of the fire that would come 15 years later: A provocation that the state either turned a blind eye to or was too late to intervene.<\/p>\n Sivas 1993 (Mad\u0131mak):<\/strong> On July 2, 33 intellectuals and 2 hotel employees attending the Pir Sultan Abdal Festivities were burned alive in the Mad\u0131mak Hotel by a radical Islamist mob. Among those shouting \u201cSatan Aziz!\u201d and \u201cHellfire!\u201d were children and neighbors. Metin Alt\u0131ok, Hasret G\u00fcltekin, Muhlis Akarsu, As\u0131m Bezirci... Poets, writers and a 12-year-old boy: Koray Kaya. The Prime Minister of that day, Tansu \u00c7iller, would say, \u201cThank God, our people outside the hotel were not harmed.\u201d.<\/p>\n Gazi Neighborhood 1995:<\/strong> The provocation that started with a bomb thrown into a coffeehouse turned into an armed attack that lasted for two days. 17 people were killed and hundreds were wounded.<\/p>\n \u201cThese are the people you call \u201dthe remnants of the sword\".<\/p>\n They are the ones who were shot in the back and collapsed on the sidewalk in Sivas in 1978, These are not just painful events; they are also stories of brave people who paid the price and kept their faith.<\/p>\n Today, years have passed since those massacres. But justice has not been fully achieved, nor have all the perpetrators been brought to justice. The Sivas 1993 case was time-barred in 2012. The reports on Mara\u015f are still \u2019secret\u201c. Most of those killed in \u00c7orum are \u201dunknown perpetrators\u201c.<\/p>\n Therefore, I ask those who call it \u201cthe remnants of the sword\u201d: What courage is it to be so callous as to consider so much pain, so much resistance, so much memory as \u201cremnants\u201d?<\/p>\n Alevis are a group of people who have paid the price of being a part of this country, often much more heavily than others. But they are not \u201cno more\u201d. They are part of the flesh, bone and breath of this nation.<\/p>\n \u201cWhoever says \u201dthe remnant of the sword\" has in fact left his own history behind. Because in this geography, those who pay the price are forgiven, not those who are insulted. And the names of those who pay the price are only remembered again at a time when the perpetrators are forgotten.<\/p>\n That date hasn't come yet. But it will come.<\/p>\n And on that day, it will not be those who were called \u201cthe remnants of swords\u201d who will be remembered, but those who were massacred in Sivas in 1978 and 1993, the mothers who walked to the bullet in Mara\u015f, the youth who resisted in Gazi and \u00dcmraniye.<\/p>\n And it is remembered.<\/p>\n However, those who disguise themselves as Republicans, Kemalists, secularists and call Alevis \u201cthe remnants of the sword\u201d - prostitutes whose monkey-bred ideology is money, fascist prostitutes who share the same mentality as ISIS and wear secular masks - know that you are the real remnants in this country.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cWhoever says \u201dthe remnant of the sword\" has in fact left his own history behind.

\nThe lives that went up in smoke in Sivas in 1993,
\nMothers whose homes were raided in Mara\u015f,
\nOrphaned babies in Corum,
\nThey are the ones killed in Gazi while sitting in their caf\u00e9 and the laborers protesting against the massacre of Alevis.<\/p>\n
