It is seen that the ruling wing and its partner are experiencing serious indigestion against the People's Alliance, which was formed by the ruling wing as a result of the obligation, which made alliances compulsory in the country, and the Nation Alliance, which was formed by 6 opposition parties.
 
While no one is looking for a new name to devalue the People's Alliance formed by the ruling wing, the Nation Alliance formed by the opposition has been described as a disgraceful alliance by the ruling wing from the very beginning. In short, given the attitude and style they display, the ruling wing does not want all parties in the country to either side with them or form an alliance.
 
In a way, forming an alliance that is right for them means haram and even treason for others, as they use a new derogatory and condescending phrase every day to denigrate the Nation Alliance.
 
From time to time, I try to draw attention to the fact that a divisive political style will not benefit the country, but will harm it. Let me state immediately that no party is obliged to ally with another party or parties. However, the new system created inevitably forces the parties to take part in an alliance.
 
As a result, 6 opposition parties came together and formed an alliance. Against the People's Alliance formed by the ruling wing, they described themselves as the Nation Alliance. However, this characterization is very common to opposition parties. They persistently describe the formed alliance as an alliance of disgrace.
 
The extent to which this characterization discredits the Nation Alliance parties will be seen in the elections, but I personally find it disrespectful to the nation that those who persistently keep their songs of democracy on their tongues display such an attitude.
 
This divisive attitude displayed by the ruling wing against the Nation Alliance is not just about characterizing it as a disgraceful alliance. In almost every speech, the Nation Alliance is accused.
 
For example, Bahçeli, in one of his speeches, said, "Nothing will happen with the Nation alliance," and continued as follows: "The voice rising from here is a challenge to protect Turkey's national dignity."
 
On the same day as Bahçeli, Minister of Justice Bozdağ's speech was given in a newspaper under the headline "The 7-table table is not looking for a candidate, it is looking for a commanding officer". There is a 6-party alliance formed by 6 opposition parties that everyone knows, but someone is trying to discredit the Nation Alliance by describing this 6-party table as a 7-party table, implying that there is another undeclared secret partner behind the alliance.
 
Another day, President Erdogan's speech was given in a pro-government newspaper under the headline "The six-party table will waste Turkey's gains". In summary, it was said:
 
“The six-party table almost acts in partnership with FETO and the PKK. Turkey cannot be left to the six-party table. If this structure wins the elections, Turkey's gains will be wasted. We shouldn't let that happen."
 
If what has been said is carefully evaluated, the parties in the Nation Alliance are seriously accused. If those who say this word truly believe what they are saying, the parties involved in this alliance are grave criminals. But if it is said to disturb the nation, those who say it have to prove the truth of what they say through the judiciary.
 
Otherwise, it would not be wrong to say that if everyone knows how to discredit them in the face of the society by imposing some adjectives on them according to their own understanding, it is not wrong to say that political interests are being tried to be gained in that country instead of embracing.
 
Lastly, CHP Chairman Kılıçdaroğlu insisted, “We do not want a separating Turkey. We want an embracing Turkey. I would like to end my article with the words “We want a Turkey that has the courage to face its mistakes”. Finally, are there those who are afraid of Turkey's embrace?" I think it is useful to consider the answer to the question.
