İsmail Saymaz wrote about it, and the issue has become a central topic on Turkey's agenda.

According to the inside information he received, Bahçeli said in a closed-door group meeting with MHP deputies months ago, “There should be two vice presidents; one Kurdish, the other Alevi.”

We do not know if he was aware of what he was saying, or to what extent he was aware!

We expected someone from the MHP to come out and make a statement saying, “He didn't use such a sentence” or something similar.

Although, after his meeting with the DEM party members, he had told journalists, “I am mute.”

I wonder, did he really not hear what he was saying?

When the issue started to bubble up on social media, he felt the need to send a message through his Chief Advisor first.

Yıldıray Çiçek wrote in Türkgün, “When we look at these discussions within the framework of the ‘Devlet Bahçeli vision,’ at the core of the statement lies a strong emphasis on brotherhood, suggesting that our Kurdish and Alevi brothers and sisters, who are loyal to their homeland, flag, and national values, can take part in any representative office.”

In other words, the inside information was correct.

Later, a long statement came with Devlet Bahçeli's signature.

Let us set aside the contradictions and logical errors within it, and let's say Bahçeli has been working tooth and nail to keep Tayyip Erdoğan in that seat until his final hour, and pressed the button to expand the base by winking at both Kurds and Alevis.

That is why he came up with such a proposal.

However, it is known to everyone who follows developments even slightly that the issue is not that simple.

Tayyip Erdoğan did not emphasize “Turk-Kurd-Arab” in Kızılcahamam for nothing, he did not say “Islam is our common overarching identity” just to give a message to his bigoted base, and he did not lash out at Özgür Özel with the words, “They do not know what the consciousness of the Ummah is. What is wrong with us interlocking like the bricks of a wall, you fools?” just for the sake of it.

Let us not overlook the Ambassador, Tom Barrack, who appeared with the air of a colonial governor and praised the “Ottoman millet system.”

All of these are part of a calculation!

Bahçeli's proposal is also within this calculation, even at its most critical point!

Out of curiosity, let's assume they created two vice-presidential positions by amending the constitution; will these deputies have the authority to veto presidential decrees, or will they just serve as window dressing?

This is where the trouble begins...

If Bahçeli clarifies his proposal, we will all see the point where the issue will lead.

Let us underline this with a thick pen.

This is an imperialist project.

It was implemented first in Lebanon, then in Iraq.

And now in Syria...

One does not need to be a prophet to know that Turkey's turn will come soon.

Those who look at the recent history of Iraq and Lebanon, if they are not suffering from night blindness, can see that shaping politics according to religion, sect, and ethnicity does not provide peace and tranquility, but on the contrary, causes long-lasting instability, conflicts, and civil wars.

What the collaborators of imperialism in Turkey have in mind is the exact same political system that America established in Iraq, which it occupied under the guise of “bringing democracy” and where it shed the blood of millions of innocent people!

After 2003, Iraq was effectively divided under the name of “federation.” In its north, the “Kurdistan Regional Government,” which is in unconditional service to America, was established; divisions within the public deepened, the institution of politics collapsed, bureaucracy became corrupted; corruption, theft, and incompetence became commonplace.

Despite all the wealth of their country, the people have remained mired in poverty.

Whether Iraq will ever stabilize from now on is unknown!

Let us put on our reading glasses.

For example, in Iraq, where the presidency, vice-presidencies, premiership, and parliamentary speakership are shared among Kurds, Shiites, and Sunnis, parliamentary elections are held in appearance. Shiites, Sunnis, and Kurds form separate alliances and enter the election.

But there is no opposition group in the parliament.

Of course, not because there are no people with opposing views.

Since politics is divided into sectarian and ethnic compartments, a “consensual” government, meaning a coalition, is inevitably formed.

They appear to have reached a consensus so as not to step on each other's toes.

The issue is quite pragmatic. Since all groups want to grab a premiership, ministry, undersecretariat, general directorate, or department head position according to their size, everyone tries to get involved in the government from somewhere.

Then, according to the votes they receive, they sit down and share it nicely, saying this ministry is ours, that ministry is yours, such and such undersecretariat is theirs.

Those who come to office protect those of their own sect or nation and share the rent with them.

The others are outsiders...

When the situation is like this, those who think they did not get the share they wanted from the pie wait in ambush to grab the others by the throat. At the slightest tension, guns go off, and the issue is quickly linked to sect or nation.

But if you go and ask, America brought democracy to Iraq.

As in that well-known cartoon, “I'm about to be enlightened, and then I get the urge to laugh...”

This is exactly what they are trying to push on us as Bahçeli's vision!
