It is no longer a secret that the discourse of "survival" is used as a political argument and varies according to the benefit-harm calculation in politics. It is also the case that politicians sometimes present some arguments that will benefit their political success in the form of a survival issue to the society.
 
When we evaluate the problem of survivability objectively, we see that it varies according to time and conditions, that some developments that were seen as a survivability problem yesterday have ceased to be a problem with planned and strategic moves, and that some developments that were not even a problem yesterday have become a survivability problem today. For this reason, although the discourse of survivability is made into the material of politics and used unnecessarily, it is the case that some issues cause survivability problems if necessary precautions are not taken.
 
At this point, it is seen that Turkey's two main issues will turn into a survival problem if measures are not taken with planned and strategic moves. One of them is "immigrants" and the other is "sales of property to foreigners". Both problems are related to the way of power and can be solved with a planned and determined will. However, if it is neglected, it will be a problem of survival in the near future.
 
Turkey not only from Syria but also from Afghanistan etc. It is necessary to see that irregular migration from countries will cause great problems in the near future. History is full of examples of how such waves of immigration affected the demographic structure of countries.
 
The most concrete example of a country getting out of hand with planned migrations is Palestine. Zionist Israel is the most obvious example of how a region was occupied, how its demographic structure was changed, and how a state was established through tyranny with a century-old insidious plan.
 
While the lands of Palestine, which was conquered by Omar (r.a.) in 638 and transferred to the Ottoman Empire in 1517 with the time of Yavuz Sultan Selim Khan, were ruled peacefully in the hands of Muslims for 1200 years, after the Ottoman Empire had to withdraw from there in 1916, it was occupied by the Zionists in the shadow of the Crusaders, and day by day the world The demographic structure was changed after the Jews brought from different regions were settled here, the Muslims here were expelled from the region by oppression and persecution, some of them were martyred, and Israel declared its independence in 1948 with a planned occupation. The Jews, a tiny minority in this region, attained the state in thirty years with the Zionist plan, day-to-day occupation and immigration policy, and spread throughout a century.
 
Another example is Iraq. It is necessary to see how the Turkmen presence in Iraq was destroyed day by day with the insidious plans implemented, and made it a minority either by massacres, forcing people to migrate, or by interfering with the land registry records.
 
Although Mosul and Kirkuk are completely Turkish cities, changing the demographic structure in the process that started with the British occupation and continued with the division of Iraq should be well examined. In the distant past, 90% were Turkish. In the recent census, which was based on ethnicity in 1920, 50 thousand of Kirkuk's population of 92 thousand were Turkmen. The removal of population records, the relocation of the Kurdish population during the war, and the planned moves to change the demographic structure have made the Turkmens a minority in Kirkuk compared to the Kurds.
 
Iraq was divided into two with the US invasion of the region on March 20, 2003. One part of Iraq was left to the Shiite Arabs and the other part to the Kurdish Regional Government led by Barzani. The influence of the Sunni population here was completely broken.
 
The occupation of the USA and its allies, which started on March 20, 2003 with the lie that it had "biological weapons" in Iraq, ended with the UK leaving Iraq on May 22, 2011, and the USA on December 18, 2011. However, this was an invasion that resulted in blood, tears and cruelty, changing the demographic structure of a country and dividing it into two.
 
An invasion that emerged with Turkey's policy carried out during the Turgut Özal era, by being the elder brother to Celal Talabani and Massoud Barzani, and by supporting the US policies. Another contribution to the occupation was made during the era of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan; With the adoption of the March 19, 2003 resolution allowing US planes to bomb Iraq using Turkish airspace, the US started bombing Baghdad.
 
At a time when the USA was making preparations to leave the country after invading Iraq and dividing it into two, it must have been determined to bring democracy(!) to the neighboring country Syria, because on March 15, 2011, under the pretext of the Arab Spring, it confused this place and started a civil war… Because it is racist. imperialism to confuse countries, start a civil war, divide, starve, enslave into debt; It knows how to leave a remnant of cruelty, blood and tears.
