The majority remains silent

It consumed our lives.

It targeted our lives, our property, and our homeland.

Just like the Israeli lawmaker, it gave orders to kill children as well.

Teachers, doctors, district governors.

It martyred those who went to the region to serve.

It cost us 40 years.

It pushed our anxiety levels to the absolute limit.

Like a person living with constant high blood pressure, it caused us to suffer trauma as a result of police station raids.

It carried its actions to the west.

It blew up the heart of Ankara.

Istanbul also took its share of this terror.

Even though the loss from terror is far less than the loss from traffic accidents, the climate of fear it created drained all of the country's energy.

For a while, they targeted the forests.

Fires broke out in 30-40 places all at once.

They cut off the west's access to the east, but their own feet began to roam every corner of the west.

Now, there is peace.

Happiness should be at its peak.

Fireworks are expected to light up the darkness.

Eyes are looking for halays to be formed and horons to be danced.

Blue eyes are watching for zeybeks and zurnas.

Ears want to hear the Seymens, the sounds of sword and shield dances, and the clatter of spoons.

However, cries of victory are only coming from across the border.

It crushes the sounds expected from the west and ruins the harmony.
