Which of Kemal K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7daro\u011flu's words disturbed you so much?
\nOr was it in an Azeri folk song he sang earlier;
\n\u201cWere the words \u201dI will speak my word even when it hurts...\" too much for you?
\nYou know, the sentences that follow and that have been perceived for days?
\nNo...
\nThat's not what bothered you.
\nIt was the mirror held directly to your face that disturbed you.
\n\u201cMy dear friends...\u201d he said.
\nYou took offense even though you are not friends.
\n\u201cHe said, \u201dMy brave fellow travelers and colleagues...\".
\nBecause those who had forgotten what courage is for years took it as an indictment of their own cowardice.
\n\u201cNoble citizens of this beautiful country with a conscience...\u201d he said.
\nThose with a conscience have already heard.
\nBut those who lost their conscience in office chambers, tender tables and hotel corridors have started to attack with swearing and insults since yesterday.
\nBecause one sentence in particular hurt them:
\n\u201cThe future of a nation is shaped by the wisdom, conscience and morality of politics.\u201d
\nAnyone with a mind, conscience and morals will not take offense.
\nBut for those who for years have turned politics into a bargain of interests, this statement has been a siren call.
\nAnother word has sunk in:
\n\u201cThe halal tables of the nation are blessed with clean politics.\u201d
\nOf course, those who feed on the haram system were disturbed.
\nBecause those who do not eat haram do not have a stomach ache.
\nThe big discomfort was there:
\n\u201cPolluted politics first corrodes conscience, then destroys morality, and finally sets its sights on the nation's bread.\u201d
\nThis is where all hell broke loose.
\nBecause those whose conscience was rotting were the ones who reacted the most harshly.
\nThose who put morality behind their interests, not in front of politics, went on the offensive.
\nAnd then that sentence that followed...
\n\u201cKeeping politics clean and bringing prosperity to the nation's table is a debt of honor for everyone who does politics in this country.\u201d
\nIt seems that everyone has a different understanding of \u201chonor\u201d.
\nSome pay this debt by serving their country...
\nOthers are in hotel rooms, in dirty bargains, in VIP reigns.
\nSome of them squander state money and then shamelessly lecture on morality.
\nThen they turn and attack the Republican People's Party.
\nWhereas CHP;
\nIt is not a political signboard, it is the will of this nation to rise up out of poverty.
\nIt has seen coups, it has not bowed down.
\nIt was closed, it didn't surrender.
\nHe suffered oppression but he did not kneel.
\nTherefore, those who are trying to take over the CHP, those who are trying to transform it from within, will of course be disturbed by these words.
\nBecause that is precisely the point:
\n\u201cMorality\u201d is the biggest threat for those who want to shape the party not on principle, but on seats, rents, and personal fortune.
\n\u201cOur party is not an inheritance left to us, it is a sacred trust\u201d.
\nBecause the politics of those who have a sense of trust and those who are opportunistic are not the same.
\nAnd then came that historic answer:
\n\u201cKemal K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7daro\u011flu will be grounded a thousand times and blossom a thousand times, but he will not bend or twist.\u201d
\nThat's exactly the point.
\nHe described not surrender, but honorable resistance against those who told him to \u201cbe grounded\u201d.
\nIt becomes soil
\nBut it blossoms again in the hands of honest and upright sons.
\nIt does not bend and twist.
\nBecause some people keep silent for the sake of authority, some people are afraid of threats, some people give in to slander.
\nBut there are some;
\nHe has devoted more than seventy years of his life to the people's fight for justice.
\nHe has never eaten forbidden food.
\nAnd the only legacy he will leave to his children is not office, but the struggle for morality.
\nThis is what is really disturbing today.
\nBecause in this country, immorality has not only become widespread; it has been institutionalized.
\nAnd worse, it has been normalized.
\nNow go back and ask yourself:
\nHow will you face your children and grandchildren tomorrow?
\nWhile trampling on every value for political gain...
\nSilencing the conscience
\nWhen you belittle morality
\nWith what face will you really say \u201cwe were right\u201d?
\nBecause some words don't bother you.
\nIt just throws the truth in your face.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
