Same old song for a new paradigm!

Everyone is in a rush!

Since the terrorist leader sent a messenger to Ankara, we have all been wondering what kind of lofty thoughts he wanted to share with us!

Let's set the Victory Party (Zafer Partisi) and the Good Party (İyi Parti) aside.

They made their stance clear from the very beginning with strong statements, saying, “No, we will not meet.”

But we see that the agenda has become completely locked onto this.

News channels are constantly broadcasting live, and the contacts of the DEM Party members are being blown out of proportion on social media.

There is no aspect of the issue that hasn't been discussed on talk shows.

Abdullah Öcalan probably wouldn't have believed it even if he saw it in his dreams.

While the people of our country are exhausted from struggling with hunger and poverty, while retirees are wondering how to make ends meet with the pittance of a raise given to their pensions, while the cost of living has spiraled out of control, and while the inflation monster is wreaking havoc on us all, the agenda has conveniently shifted its focus to him.

For days, we have been debating over a few crumbs of information regarding whatever instructions he gave to Sırrı Süreyya and Pervin Buldan in İmralı.

The phrase “new paradigm” is floating around.

In reality, no one really knows what it is!

There is only a statement released under the heading, “The general framework of his thoughts and approach is as follows.”

The subject is hidden, the song is old!

They are trying to sell this as support for a new paradigm.

What they are trying to push on us is a theater performance staged to pull the wool over the eyes of our people.

Anyone who hasn't rented out their mind, thoughts, and conscience knows that Tayyip's real concern is to change the Constitution.

This offers him two golden opportunities; let's underline this with a thick pen.

The first is the guarantee of staying in that seat until his time is up; the second is to officially turn Turkey into an Islamic Republic, perhaps re-establish the Caliphate to give himself a religious identity at the same time, eliminate the Turkish identity, and prepare the ground for an ummah-based society.

These largely overlap with the demands of Kurdish-nationalist politics.

For instance, removing Turkishness and secularism from the Constitution, repealing Article 24, which contains the regulation that the state order cannot be based even partially on religious rules, Article 42, which regulates the right to education and training, and Article 66, which regulates Turkish citizenship, would serve the interests of both Tayyip and Kurdish-nationalist politics, the DEM Party members, and Abdullah Öcalan.

Especially if the first four articles of the Constitution are changed and the path to a federation is opened, it would be a dream come true for all of them!

Don't say “get out of here,” but no one can say that they don't have in mind a project for an Islamist confederation consisting of a unified Kurdistan federation ruled by the Caliph in Istanbul and a Sunni state in Anatolia.

This is the crux of the matter; they are making noise to distract from this, confusing minds with three or five rote sentences.

If the DEM Party members didn't occasionally get carried away and reveal their true intentions, we might never have understood what was going on.

DEM Party member Tülay Hatimoğulları came out and said, “The doors of İmralı are open for now. We are going through a historical breaking point. At this historical breaking point, either a positive break will occur and we will build peace, or negative breaks will occur, and everywhere will become Gaza. Therefore, we want to address the state's mind once again from here. This meeting that took place in İmralı is not enough. The doors of İmralı must be opened.”

Later, following the reactions, she backtracked on these statements, claiming she didn't mean it that way and that her words were distorted, but anyone who can read and write, and has enough intelligence to stir a pot so it doesn't burn, can understand what she meant by these words.

She threatened openly, demanded the release of Abdullah Öcalan, but by saying “it is a historical breaking point,” she let slip that they have found an opportunity to plant dynamite at the foundations of the country with this “new paradigm.”

For those who want to see, it is no secret where Turkey is heading.

This is how Iraq was torn apart, and we have witnessed closely what happened in Syria.

For now, we are just watching this theater being performed together; let us end our article by saying that if the people of our country do not shake off the lethargy and take ownership of Turkey today, it seems it will be too late tomorrow.
