(en) DAF, Meydan #24 - "Political opportunism: State History
Lies" - Emrah Tekin (tr) [machine translation]
A stronomik costs, mainly; constructions; opening; including about architects rooms, the
new Presidential Palace falling from the public agenda with cases brought by individuals
or various NGOs, last month in Palestinian President Mahmoud held during the visit of
Abbas "out of order" was discussed quite a state of ritual. Some by political commentators
and columnists "Neo -Osmanlıc" of the defined political power environment, this "ritual"
is a former Ottoman lands made during the adoption of the president of the Palestinian
perhaps is beyond coincidence. ---- President of Turkey Erdogan, the guests, while meeting
the grand staircase of the palace gaudy displays managers in these two states the right of
the stairs and out of the 16 figures prominently ranked on the left. Later, these "16
historical figures" in the TC 16 star flag Presidential reference, the date established
during the Turkish government announced that 16 symbolizes. Now with this and similar
state of ritual, "New Turkey" will be encountered more frequently authors of the ruling
pro-corner, emphasized indirectly in their media.
Again by the ruling circles of the debate presidential system "is inserted into the
agenda" in these days, as established by the Turks to refer to the 16 states, Taksim
Travel resistance and anti-corruption operation after i upgraded does not contradict the
fact that the nationalist rhetoric heroism. Remember; Taksim Travel Resistance i often
after the state government and its supporters pens "foreign centers" discourse wrapped
accordingly, "interest" in particular and varied to be "creative" allegations of lobbying,
"traitors addresses" showed as. This is the aspect of "16 Turkish state" to send, it may
seem not create conflicts Given such nationalist highlights, in fact, against the
discourse of ethnic nationalist political reference in the tradition of power "Islam
ümmetçilig" of issuing National Opinion origin "political Islamists" in line with
contradictory.
Right political traditions in our regions, from time to time seem to have entered the
inner çakışs and interrelated, they are actually different political lanes that
nationalism and Islamism have tanımlayagel identity of conservatism. When founded in 2002,
political Islam with reference to the National Opinion identity perhaps-as a periodic
tactical step "conservative democrat" identity with the change saying that the AKP
political line, being in power, brought to life with the possibility gave a strong signal
on behalf of the return to political Islamism line with practical steps. Imam increasing
number of Preacher school girl in school-man hybrid system to be discussed, Sunni rather
increase of the status of the Presidency of the Islamic state institutions of Religious
Affairs and events, relationships developed with radical Islamic circles Muslims,
especially brothers in the Middle East come to mind some of these steps.
You know, if we return to the issue of 16 Turkish government at the ceremony above data as
well as a discursive and practical paradox of the current state power in the light of the
reality of the point of the state's official history assertion important question of pilot
are emerging. Islamist reference to politics conducting state power, there is also
reference to the 8 pre-Islamic 16 Turkish state, as well as creating a conflict, the
Islamic discourse ümmetçilik and practice essential to get the racist-nationalist be
interpreted as a green light. When entering a new selection process, this step of the
government which has utterly pragmatic politics, although not present a consistency in
itself, Islamist political discourse and practices constitute a contradiction in terms.
State power of the current maintainer of the environment for political gain out of this
pragmatism is the presidential insignia "16 Turkish state" oriented discussions, lies in
the state's official date has revealed again the day. The Fors "16 Turkish state" theory
of years ago in 1969 with reference also to the state's racist by Turkic-Turanian
horseless Nihal of ideology theorists, the same ideology "Self Realization" in the
magazine's "16 State Tables and fitting Flags" in an article titled refuted appeared.
Horseless, writing that there is no clarity on the number of states established by the
Turks, but between features "state to establish that" a nation, said it should be
questioned why it had been unable states. Similarly, Ankara University Faculty of
Political Sciences-known academics and nationalist Kemalist identity Prof. Coskun Üçok in
History and Society magazine January 1987 issue of "16 Turkish state" while emphasizing
that the reality of a claim, with an interesting application in a state recently wrote a
post that said supports this claim. TC 16 stars in the current state of the Standing
Presidential pennant, November 15, 1983 in Istanbul, Turkey 17th state (?) Is established.
In this case the galley slaves, it is necessary to add another star representing the TRNC.
But the period of the state of mind, perhaps "16 harmony" to the breaking of this new
Turkish state by removing the West Hun Empire from 16 "has opened the place."
The present state power, on one side Turkism-Turanism, on the other hand Osmanlıcılıkl to
feed it the örerk the process of building an eclectic new regime, in fact, benefit from
the tutelage period he also called it nearly 100 years settled period historical lie. From
this perspective, the "old" and "new" based on political interests in a partnership
supported by actual accounts and appear to lie. They wash establish states, "new regimes"
while the facility; Each state was destroyed installed, find the body of the oppressed
over their lives stolen.
