Do you consent, little Asia?

Following our rapprochement with NATO, the General Directorate of Highways, established in 1950, built roads connecting Anatolia from one end to the other.

It crossed mountains and hills, opened tunnels, and constructed roads, bridges, and viaducts.

When it encountered private property while crossing Anatolia from one end to the other, CONSENT it did not set a single foot on the land without it.

Until expropriation was carried out and the compensation was paid, CONSENT was obtained.

There are those among us who have become homeowners thanks to this expropriation compensation.

In short, construction and manufacturing stop on lands with expropriation and eminent domain issues, while construction continues on other axes, that is, in areas where expropriation and eminent domain have been completed. 

With the citizen's instinct to protect their property and assets, as soon as the expropriation in the problematic area that caused the project to delay is finished, construction and manufacturing resume, and the project is completed.

Now, why did I tell this irrelevant “Expropriation and Eminent Domain” story!!!!! 

I won't confuse you by going too far back. 

I won't even get into World War II.

Let me start the topic with the end of the Cold War, the reunification of the two Germanys, and the massacres in the Balkans.

In Gorbachev's country, the Soviet Union, following the collapse of the system in 1989 and the resulting famine, in 1949 Germany, which had been divided into Federal Germany and East Germany, reunited.

For 40 years, not even a bird flew between the two countries. 

While one experienced the pinnacle of wealth, the state of the other was pathetic. 

Watch the film“The Lives of Others”.

If you watch the 2006 German drama film that depicts an insecure and anxious era where even husbands and wives denounced each other, you will see the scale of the tragedy.

Following the collapse of its system in 1991, the Soviet Union split into 15 independent countries, including the Turkic Republics and others.

After the Cold War, which ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the disasters that occurred in the Balkans astonished us all. 

In the heart of Europe, in the middle of civilization, people including children were raped, massacres could not be prevented, and a genocide took place.

Fenerbahçe's famous and beloved head coach Veselinović followed by the hated Serbian Butcher Milošević We also learned his name during this period.

Then, the name of Alija Izetbegović, who tried to protect his country and citizens, was etched into our memories.

At a time when the deaths were increasing anxieties worldwide, those who remained saved their lives and honor through Clinton's intervention.

Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Macedonia.

Yugoslavia was broken into pieces.

The first phase was complete.

Next in line were the lands of Anatolia and its people, which the foreigners called "Little Asia."

In fact, the second phase had been initiated first with ASALA and then with the PKK.

However, a problem of nationalization and expropriation emerged.

There was no "CONSENT." 

They tried to create artificial fault lines—what they call fault lines, but which are nothing more than simple cultural differences to us—such as "Kurdish-Turkish, Alevi-Sunni, Rightist-Leftist."

However, for the people of Anatolia, "Who will lead the horon" or "Who will be the leader of the halay" was a more serious cause for conflict.

And to deepen the fault lines, they did not use George, Maria, Alex, or Johan, but rather our own local academic intellectuals like Mehmet, Hasan, Ahmet, Nur, and Ayşe, whom they recruited and utilized with small perks.

These academics constantly found a place in the mainstream media. 

Every evening, they read imported article translations handed to them—which they did not believe in—like parrots. 

Since they did not believe in this hit-job journalism they performed in exchange for perks, they could not convince the public either.

When the desired success could not be achieved in visual media, they established a publishing house. 

They added a mallet to the drum.

They were both writing and printing.

The only criterion was that the topics had to be 'separatist'.

'No, you are this, no, you are that, you came from here, you went from there'

“Your hair is this color, your eyes are that color”!!!!!!!

Those seeking unearned gains, unable to convince the intelligent people of Anatolia through television, tried to persuade the literate crowd through print media.

It is not as if they were not partially successful. 

This group, which marginalized and found patriotism, national consciousness, and republican values to be outdated, tried to ignite the first fuse of disintegration by prioritizing globalization.

But the opportunist and separatist academics, who could not get the power of the street behind them, were not enough.

They invited them to America's famous universities and prepared as a trapthe “Little Asia” They established their podiums. By publishing the poison that flowed from their pens against Anatolia in famous journals, they raised their H-indices, which are very important for academia.

As their h-index rose, they collaborated with the most famous professors at Turkey's most prestigious university to once again place Anatolia in their crosshairs.

The Treaty of Sèvres, which was torn up thanks to the great Atatürk, somehow found its way back onto our agenda in the 90s. 

A repeat of a Balkan War and a Mesopotamian clash has been unfolding before our eyes for quite some time. 

In this revised new game, the people of that region may be the ones dying, but know that it is the Turkish State that is being struck.

When the 'CONSENT' that failed to materialize after 30-40 years of effort was coupled with problems of nationalization and expropriation, they turned their route toward the east and south of Anatolia.

The west had already been settled.

The east would also be settled, and then they would return to the problematic land.

With the story called the Arab Spring, they tore Libya, Iraq, and Syria into pieces and settled the east as well.

They stirred up the Northern Sahara.

Those who nationalized and divided the Balkans to the west of Anatolia and Mesopotamia to the east, expropriating them "WITHOUT CONSENT," are about to return to Asia Minor, where they have faced problems.

Do you have CONSENT, oh Anatolia!!!!!!
