For some reason, the existing problems of our country that are waiting for a solution have been pushed out of the agenda by the governments for years with some artificial discussions. However, if we could concentrate on the problems of our country by joining hands instead, I think a problem-free country could not be created, but it would be minimized and the problems that need to be solved first would come to the fore.
For this, first of all, it is necessary to get rid of divisive and camping discourses and actions. However, not only in recent years, but also for many years, politicians and some military and civilian bureaucrats, instead of putting forward their own proposals and solutions to problems, have always preferred a separatism like traitors and patriots in their discourse and actions.
The reason for this may be the approach of seizing the country's administration in a short way and with little effort, as well as the central parties have been effective in politics as the main opposition even if they are not in power. Thus, different voices were prevented from reaching the society. However, the political cadres, who adopted such an attitude as their basis, not only kept democracy down, but also prevented the fact that tolerance to differences is the first condition of democracy from entering our agenda.
Thus, by displaying a common understanding with their right and left at certain points, they prevented the masses from coming to the agenda with different thoughts. Thus, on the one hand, circles and cadres, who did not leave democracy to anyone, imposed a democracy on the nation according to their own understanding. These impositions were endured for a while, but as time passed, there was no one who did not see or hear the fact that this way was wrong and that what was said and what was done contradicted.
These discriminatory discourses and actions created a serious tension in society until the 1980s. As a result of the provocation of some internal and external enemies, the country has become a conflict area and has been brought. As someone who has lived through those periods, I can say that; Our country has become an open space for some external dangers.
One of the facts that emerged after the 1980 coup, when people from almost all walks of life were gathered and put in prisons and the trials began, and what impressed me the most was that a rightist was murdered with a gun in the morning, while a leftist was killed in the afternoon, not only from word of mouth, but also in some memoirs published in the following years. .
In other words, the nation has suffered from the discriminatory and confrontational style, and has always lost in our country. Because although there were some who benefited from this separation, a significant part of our young people's lives was spent in courts and prisons. Thus, the long years of the youth of the time were wasted.
Although the young people had to endure all the hardships to save the country, they were between 30-35 years old when they were released from prison, their peers, especially the children of those who sent the young people to the squares, had completed their education and took their places in the state ranks in the new period. In short, while idealist youth were suffering, those who saw themselves as the true owners of this country and state turned the corner.
In this respect, as someone who has experienced the pain of the past, those who really want to serve this nation and country should abandon their discriminatory and hostile style. Let our people see and see the realities of the country. Don't just be satisfied with what's shown. The way to do this is to ensure that the real agenda is not kept in the dark by some artificial issues.
