We cannot find a new Atatürk every century

Of course, one does not question the wisdom of the Almighty, but we should still play it safe.

Otherwise, we would be forced to find a new Atatürk every century, and we might even incur the wrath of the Lord, in whose generosity I believe, for failing to appreciate what we have been given.

These lands have raised many Turkish leaders and commanders.

The last leader, the Great Atatürk, educated and equipped us on the basis of citizenship so that we would not need a new leader.

He transformed us into individuals with free minds and free intellects, and we have come a long way in the last century.

Our population, which was 10 million, has reached 100 million, and the number of our universities has increased from 2 to 202.

Even if we are not in the G8, we have reached the capacity to enter the G20, and there are more than 200 countries in the world.

Despite the scourge of terrorism, we emerged from the Cold War in one piece.

All these successes and the fact that we have been living independently on these lands for years are not a guarantee that we will be successful and remain independent forever.

The guarantee is reason, science, and technology.

It will not be as easy as it once was to elevate our country, which we have protected with the strength of our wrists for the last five thousand years, with a sustainable system.

Because industrial revolutions, and especially the latest industrial revolution, have nullified the capacity of physical strength.

Numbers have lost their importance.

High technology has nullified the impact of traditional methodologies. 

The vast Ottoman Empire, because it did not take into account the capacity and effects of steam power obtained by heating water, despite its strong wrist and political science, could not keep up with the conditions of the era in science and technology; it not only lost its lands, but millions of its people were either massacred, became refugees, or died of hunger.

If we do not want to experience a new wave of migration, we must come to our senses.

We must turn a deaf ear to the winds of "liboşizm" (liberalism) that have been blowing towards us since the nineties, which have also put Europe in a difficult situation, and we must protect, look after, and elevate the Turkish State on the basis of citizenship.

Otherwise, the latest industrial revolution, called Super Intelligence, which has a logarithmic swallowing power capacity compared to the old ones, will leave neither Turkey nor the Turkish Nation.

Those who say "my mother tongue, my mother tongue," those who talk about their cultural differences, those who talk about nano-micro-scale individual rights, and those who sharpen the tips of the divisive branches of similar roots, unfortunately do not see the sharp guillotine behind the curtain.

They ignore the possibility that thousands of years of effort and achievements could be razed to the ground in an instant.

Therefore, I celebrate your October 29 Republic Day and say, know the value of Modern Turkey.
