“Turkey Issue” and Two Turkeys
Turkey of the strong or Turkey of the people? Not only the results of the 2023 elections, but also the spread of the Republic, which will enter the second century in 2023, will determine which of the two Turkeys will win.
For a moment, get away from your political preferences, ideologies and identities.
I think as the owner of the Republic of Turkey.
Think of it as the owner of the Turkish Republic living in Istanbul.
In fact, think of it as a person living in Istanbul.
Instead of thinking politically and thoughtfully, try to make a sincere assessment.
And on this basis, The Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) President Ekrem İmamoğlu and consider what has been done to him lately through the judiciary and government.
Ekrem İmamoğlu won the Istanbul elections twice in the March 2019 Local Elections and became the President of the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality.
After seeing the IMM President, the investigations and services he made for Istanbul have been successful in all his research and index studies so far.
Istanbulites like İmamoğlu and his services.
His researches were carried out by İmamoğlu by the people of Istanbul. over 60% it shows that successful results are achieved, loved and appreciated.
Provincial and district criteria in Turkey and “human development“and”sustainable developmentIn all indexes on ”, for example “INGEV 2022 Provincial and District Index”in Istanbul Municipality or first happens or first three rows coming out.
You can criticize İmamoğlu; You are the more political administration of the government, including the presidency.
You can criticize him for mistakes and choices you make.
Not just politically; more importantly, I think we should oppose the punishment given to Ekrem İmamoğlu as an Istanbul issue, a Turkey issue, by positioning above and outside politics and acting morally and ethically.
But, as objective data and facts, ImamogluIt’s not just the Istanbulites who made the job successful and voted for him in the elections, but generally found successful and a beloved mayor.
Nor has he committed any other criminal offenses from corruption to theft or violence. There is no such criminal complaint or lawsuit.
Despite all this, Imamoglu, 14 December on the day of the Istanbul 7th Criminal Court of First Instance, the political district of Turkey “IdiotAdding the word “” as a prison sentence and political ban, and on charges that he insulted the Supreme Election Board (YSK) “as a delegation”, he faced the risk of being imprisoned with a sentence of 2 years, 7 months and 15 days, losing his mayorship and being banned from politics.
If the sentence given to İmamoğlu becomes final as a result of the appeal and the Supreme Court examinations; Imamoglu will go to jail, be banned from politics, and lose his mayorship for using the word “stupid”.
The content of the decision, the change of the “judge” before 14 December and the comments on the decision, the Court, where the decision is not legal but political, are united and unanimous. There are also those who participated in the consensus from within the ruling party and the AK Party.
THE ISSUE OF TURKEY
We should underline a point as important as the political decision: Ekrem İmamoğlu was sentenced, in fact, a punishment given to all Istanbulites who voted for him and appreciated his work and services; Implementation of votes, appreciations and likes Treating Istanbulites as if they were politically banned, exclusion and marginalization of Istanbulites.
With its political decision, the judiciary punished all Istanbul residents and all citizens of the Republic of Turkey; If their removals, preferences, decisions were null and void.
This point of view is not just about Ekrem İmamoğlu,Istanbul Issue” and more importantly, Kemal KilicdarogluWith the right emphasis of “Turkey Issue”
Not just politically; more importantly, positioning above and beyond politics and acting morally and ethically, We are asked to oppose the sentence given to Ekrem İmamoğlu as an Istanbul issue, a Turkish issue. I’m thinking.
What is done to Ekrem İmamoğlu is now a restriction by the Ministry on recruitment for recruitment activities in İBB and its subsidiaries and affiliates.deposit reportThe delivery of ” to the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office has arrived. I mean, terrorism investigation.
At this point, we waited and saw whether the judicial decision was political or legal.
We are talking about a Turkey Issue that extends from the punishment of İmamoğlu to the appointment of trustees instead of elected mayors in some provinces of Turkey right after the 2019 Local Elections.
In fact, the issue of Turkey is not just judicial decisions; at the same time, the statement and statement by President Erdoğan on 22 December. 2023 for net 8 thousand 507 liras detected as minimum wage also enters.
Hunger restriction is offered by the government as a minimum wage, a large series. A minimum wage that will rapidly depreciate in the face of large openings and price hikes: the concept of “nation” of power is now “a rapidly impoverished milletIt means “.
As the recent “trend researches” conducted in different places on Turkey have demonstrated, it is now clear that from isolation to perfection, from insecurity to exclusion, within a wide area, those who are targeted, the minister impoverished, having prison problems, distrust of justice, and different identities, classes, and statuses, are the creators of the era. We have a Turkey Issue consisting of two Turkeys as the “People’s Turkey” and the judge and those who stand with him against it, in other words, the “Turkey of the Powerful”.
TWO TURKEY
Turkey Issue, as I always emphasize, by saying, “destructive polarization“As serious as the problem is, it is not just identity but class, power, wealth, welfare, and status disconnected from each other”Two TurkeysIt also includes the ”table.
In the last period, the “mobilization researchNow, as exhibited by From scanning to flaws, from insecurity to exclusion, in a wide area, looking to the future, impoverished, having encryption problems, distrusting justice and different identities, classes, statuses. creation of a wide range of “People’s Turkey” and the power against it and those who are with it, in other words “Turkey of the Strong” aspect Two TurkeysWe have a Turkey Issue consisting of
As Murat Yetkin (Yetkin Report, December 22) emphasized, within the picture of Turkey of the strong with a strong leader focus, let’s emphasize that President Erdoğan’s existence does not “sell hopes” for his nation for the future, win elections and rule Turkey for another five years. there is possibility.
As Ekrem İmamoğlu’s example shows, within the Turkey issue, “rights, liberties, dignity and libertiesThere is the reality of “People’s Turkey”.
There are also general aspects and problems where the 6-Member Table and the opposition will be the voice of the People’s Turkey successfully and to what extent.
Turkey of the strong or Turkey of the people? Not only the results of the 2023 elections, but also the spread of the Republic, which will enter the second century in 2023, will determine which of the two Turkeys will win.
