IN THE CENTENTURY YEAR OF THE REPUBLIC, EITHER TRANSFORMATION OR.?

Either TRANSFORMATION OR.

We are at the most difficult transformation crossroads of the republic, which has left behind its centennial...

At the beginning of the last century, with the outbreak of the first world war, the Anatolian geography, a geography that was left behind after the six-hundred-year-old Ottoman Empire was shattered, the people here stand shoulder to shoulder. They succeeded in establishing a republic according to the new world order.

However, the politics of some of the founders on Turkishness and the mentality of empowering themselves cost the people of this country very dearly. It was the Kurds who showed reflexes against this Turkist Turanist mentality. The Kurds, the most ancient people of Mesopotamia, opposed this monist and denialist mentality. 1914 Bitlis, 1921 Koçgiri, 1925 Azadi movement (Şeyx Said) 1926-1930 Ağrı, İhsan Nuri Pasha, 1937 As a result of the suppression of the rebellions with blood, starting with Dersim, this historical In the process, a deep and unforgettable pain continued to be up to date.

Predominantly led by sheikh, aghas, bey and Kurdish aristocratic families, the struggle has taken its place since 1941. left it mostly to Kurdish intellectuals who had studied at university. Kurdish Intellectuals gathered around the Dicle Student Dormitory, which was established in Istanbul in 1939, and tried to question the past and determine new methods of struggle. This would be a very long-term process,

Kurdish Students attaching importance to the social justice and rule of law aspects of European states, While they continued on their way without stopping by emphasizing the rule of law and living in equal conditions, the biggest obstacle in front of the democratic change of the country was that the ruling classes and the security bureaucracy responded with the psychological reflex of guilt they had done in the past.

The relentless struggle of the last forty years has cost all segments of society and the Turkish state structure dearly. During this period, incompetent politicians and the political establishment, which had difficulties in finding solutions, tried to divide the society by using the national and patriotic feelings of the non-Kurdish segments of society in order to suppress the just and humanitarian demands of the Kurds. At the current stage, we have come to the last bend of the change transformation junction.

The urgency of today has made it necessary to reveal the existence of a great social opposition from the left to the far right. That's why this election has the importance of being the election of the century. Tomorrow, the first step of a new century will be taken. Either we will decide on a great democratic change or transformation or we will become a classical Asian and Middle Eastern country far from law and democracy. Sensible votes to be given will be the cornerstones of labor, human rights and freedom, and the construction of an honorable future.
