People's experiences and struggles for years, It is inevitable that their friends and memories will have to leave the lands where they are located and go to other countries.brings longing and sadness together. They think that they will definitely return one day.
These feelings are normal in the first ten years of exile. After the first five or ten years, the real political immigration or exile begins.
It turns out that you will not be able to return in a short time, and what will you do then?
The following path is usually followed: the political struggle is limited to the country that had to be abandoned The language is not learned and the hope of returning one day is kept alive even after many years
As the years pass, each new information blocks the path of return a little more. Turkey is not the country you left behind and came to, it has changed a lot. Old friends have dispersed. There are no ancient human relationships. Everyone who can go back and forth because their case has expired tells the same thing.
Sadness becomes different. In the past, there was sadness of not being able to return, now the sadness of not being able to find those years ago begins, even if one could return. It was missed for years and years ago but it is no longer there, what was missed has disappeared.
Years have passed and almost nothing has been done in the country we live in, not even a proper language has been learned . 25-30 years ago are remembered. Those who tried to learn a language were not looked upon favorably. “They have no intention of returning; they are learning the language,” it was thought. The determination of the early years that "revolution cannot be done here" is over, but if it is to be done, minds are thinking about how it will be done.not illuminated.
German, English or French depending on the country of residence Attempts are made to distribute leaflets and enlighten the public, but efforts remain inconclusive. It is necessary to join one of the socialist organizations in the country and work, but very few people have learned the language at the required level for this. Moreover, the functioning of theseorganizations is different compared to Turkish organizations, it is contrary to people.
“You have been living in this country for 25-30 years, what did you do here?” There is no answer to the question. Organizations disintegrate, relationships are lost, and the political refugee of the past now realizes that he cannot returnbut still carries the hope of returning to the country that is no longer there
He could not turn the place he lived in into a new country.
He still sees himself as a foreigner in the place where he lives, and if worse comes back, he will be there too. He knows that he will be a stranger.
As a result of not being able to belong anywhere and not being able to create a world of his own sadness increases with variety.
Knowing that the past is not there, but he tries to live his life by repeating those good days.
And there is no way out from here…
