Emotional detachment!

The government'sgrand but hollowsense of confidence, trying to sell a "terror-free Turkey"as a newpeaceinitiativeprocess has hit a wallit isapparent.

Despite all his efforts and the perception operations he conductedwith the massive media power at his disposal, he could not convince the people of my country; the“support” he expecteddid not come. Let us moveon to “social peastories of “peace” and “let mothers not cry,” the public's reaction to this theater of betrayal is increasing everyday.

At firstglance,the slogan“Terror-free Turkey”might sound pleasant.

It may be so... But already, the mindWho, at the beginning of the day, would come forward and say, "I want terrorin this country"?But the issue is something else!

By what method and at what political cost or costs will this be

achieved?Terroris not a phenomenon that can be managed or directed.

It is a destructive force.in the name of lawlessnesswhere the law is suspended, Parliament is sidelined, and society is nottruly informed;with dirty dealsconducted behind closed doors,Turkey,in the pastwhere toif it was dragged there, it will be dragged there again today; no one should have any doubts.

Let us remember; at the end of the previous peace process, trenches were dug, cities were burned, and hundreds of soldiers, police was martyred. Thepolitical architects of that processhaveyet to be held accountable, and given the current state and conditions of the country,it is not very likely that they will be heldaccountable.

Still, let us ask: now, the same actHow can the reintroduction of a similar language byactors create any sense oftrust in our people?

Thereis no point in dragging this out.

This latestprocess has causeda deeply profound sense ofdistrust,or perhaps more gravely, ittriggered an emotionalrupture toward the Kurds.

Anyone who followswhat is happening around them with even a little bit of attention, and tries to understand and makesense of it, sees this. can see very clearly.

Unfortunately, atthe point reached today, the issue is not just the PKK.In the country, living together with Kurds is no longerwho do not see it as possible and even go one stepfurther to say they do not "want" it, the number of Turkshas exceededthe estimates by far.We are obliged to take this into account.

Because the

in societywith the fracture, the distinction between“PKK members” and “Kurds” is rapidly and perhapsirreversibly blurring in a way that will likely not be possible to reverse, and “citizens of the Republic of Turkeythe will to live together, which had gained meaning through “citizenship,” has slowly begun to disappear.

In the past, the person on the street used to positionPKK terrorists and Kurds in separateplaces. They made a special effortnot to use them in the same sentence.

Today, however,this isno longer the case.not.

The discourse of "We are like flesh and nail" or "We have lived together for a thousand years; we have intermarried" hassuffered a significanterosion of meaning.

Because these expressions, which reek ofsentimentality, exist only in the sentences ofTurks; from the perspective of the Kurds regarding the issue,our sidethe way things are, or the way we wanted them to be, is clearly not the case.

Politicians, emboldened by their masters on the other side of the Atlantic, know no bounds in their arrogance, and are practically racing to serve the plans of imperialism in the Middle East, maintaining an extremely threatening and harassing stance toward the Turkish nation.

The speeches made by DEM Party deputies in Parliament or outsideof Parliament are provocative enough todrive even the most mild-manneredpatriot absolutely furious!

Whichof the highly esteemedKurdish opinion leaders isstood up and reacted by saying, "Hey friend, what are you talking about!"showed!

But even more painful and dire is the governmentaccepting a registered terrorist who has the blood of 50 thousand people on his hands aslegitimate, acceptable, reputable, and evenas a valid interlocutor!

And so,in this way, the Turks are hungrythe ties have reached the breaking point.

“There is a significant segment among the Kurds that is not PKK-affiliated, and which believes in the republic, secularism, equality on the basis of citizenship, and the Republican reforms,” a sentence that no longersounds convincing to anyone.

Why, you ask?

Bahafter Bahçeli initiated this process that would politically destroy himself and his party– if we set aside the individual reactions and outbursts – and let us underline with a thick pen that all of them are extremely valuable –an organized Kurdish movement that principledly opposes this process of betrayaland shows a minimal political reflex by saying "We will not fall for the games of imperialism" has emerged.This is a significant development.It marks a turning point.did not emerge.

Yet, this was what everyone who loves their country wanted and expected!

When the situation islike this, the Turkish peoplerightfully began to ask, "What are we defending, with whom, and on what common ground?"

Clearly, the wIf we write with continuity, this sentence is aflare showing that the will to live togetheris now beingquestioned.

Let us put on ournear-sightedglassesto see.ism:

The country was notfounded on an ethnic alliance between Turks and Kurds.Do not pay attention to the efforts of some to create an alternative history by saying things like "Turks, Kurds, Arabs" and so on.If anyone is very curious,

they should look at which city they joined the War of Independence from.who went to war,who gave their lives for thishomeland,and who waited for the Greek National Forces to be crushed so that they could seize the opportunity to dance to the tune of the British; with asmallamount ofresearch can learn.

The Republic was a political agreement made with everyone living on the lands liberated from occupation.

Its name was citizenship.

It was a promise of a Republic where everyone, regardless of their language, religion, or ethnicorigin, was equal; where the law, education, and public sphere wereshared by all.

Even if it was slow, limping,and flawed, they somehow fulfilled this promise.

At that time, a significantportion of the Kurdsvoluntarilyparticipatedin thesuppressionefforts.

They stood against the Sheikh Said rebellion, resisted tribal feudalism in Dersim, and served as teachers and soldiers in Republican schools, andasthey became bureaucrats.

They took full advantage of equal opportunity.

The first thing political Islamists did after coming to power was to brutally damage and even eliminate this foundation.

They carefully placed the Kurdish issue within the framework of identity, that is, ethnicity, and turned it into a political bargainingchip.

Let's be moreexplicit; theydid not see Kurds as equal, dignified citizens of the Republic of Turkey. To them,they were nothing more thanan apparatus to be used for the politicalfortunes of the Islamists.They had no individual political will. Their party preferences were merely a 'block vote' reservoir tied to the local landlord, tribal leader, sheikh, or religious figure.

Once you secured the person at the very top, the job was done!

In the East and Southeast Anatolia, before every election, making deals with the leaders of tribes for 500 votes from that village, 100 votes from this hamlet, or 2,000 votes from that neighborhood had become a routine occurrence in politics.

Of course, this is the lastquarter-century, andKurdish neighborhoods in majorcities were added.

Here, theleading role belongs to DEM, the representative of the PKK. In the country's political equation creating an opportunity out of theimpasse,theystrengthened their position in local administrations through the negotiations they conducted,especially for municipal council memberships.

This is where the rubber meets the road...

Theto the DEM Party, knowing full well that it is the political wing of a terrorist organization, namely the PKKis voting for it.

Let us emphasize that this is the first point where the emotional detachment in the Turkish publichas emerged.The people of my country have been saying this for yearsThe people of my country have been saying this for years

The people of my country have been saying this for yearsare weaving:

While political actorswho do not distance themselves from terrorismare accepted as legitimate and acceptable,Kurds, whom we expect to defend the values of the Republic and who benefit fully from the country's blessings, fundamental rights and freedoms, are being buriedinsilence.

Somehow,there is no one coming forward to say, "This country cannot sit at the table with an organization that is a subcontractor of imperialism." Those who do notopenly oppose the PKK,andevenat timessupport the terrorThere are even those who view the rewarding of a political discourse that presents the terrorist organization as a "historical reality" with the attitude of "it doesn't get better than this." This situation somehow feeds the perception among Turks that the loyalty of Kurds to the Republic is no longer intact.

However, a state should not measure the loyalty of its citizens based on their ethnic origin;but rather on constitutionalprinciples.

The erosion of trustis a fundamental problemthat needs to be addressed.measures according to its own standards. It is also obligated to measure.

Otherwise, it ceases to be a state andturns into a tribalconfederation.In short,

to put itplainly, KThe fact that there was no strong objection to this process from within the Kurds, the political how the Islamists dragged the country towarddisasterseeingthe people of my countrydeepened the feeling of being left alone.

This silence, whether justified or not, paved the way for sucha generalizationing:

“So, the problem is not just the PKK, but also theoverwhelming majority of Kurds...”

As thisthought spreads, emotional detachmis accelerating.

Now someone mightcome out and say, “The real emotional detachment is being experienced by the Kurds.”It could also be the people.

It could also be the public.

In that case, some of my fellow citizens might respond to this sIf they sayagainst it, 'If that'sthe case, what are you doing in Istanbul, Izmir, Bursa, Antalya, and so on... Go, sit where you came from,' what will happen?

There is your disaster scenario...

As I conclude the article, let me emphasizestrongly:This betrayal of the countryto get rid of the process as soon as possiblethegreatest need foris aloud republican Kurdish objection.

“We are equal citizens of this country, against imperialism, ethnic separatismThe visibility of a will that says, "We are against armed politics," is essential. Of course, if it exists...

This will has not

become visible.lyly, the powerof thevoidopened by the government will be filled either by the language of the PKK or its indirect legitimizers.

Let's make thisclearLet's say it clearly:

Without defending the common ground of the Republic, and without drawing a clearline between oneself and terrorism, and without keeping a distance from the regional calculationsof imperialism, a "life together" cannot be built.

No one would agree to this.

Today, we are still at a crossroadswe are in.

Either this identity that deepens the emotional detachmentist and marketingpolitics will be insisted upon, or a new common ground will be established based on Republican citizenship, let us conclude our article with this.
