TÜRKİYE ORTA ASYA HABER KKUORDİNATÖRÜ

"When the Ottoman Empire collapsed, we experienced the greatest catastrophe. 100 years later, we are experiencing a second catastrophe thanks to the AKP. Institutions in the country have disintegrated, national feelings have disappeared. We are currently experiencing a second collapse. Can the nation's determination and resolve save us from this collapse? There are various political, economic, and sociological analyses on Türkiye's historical processes, state structure, and social transformations. The nation's determination and resolve have always been the most fundamental determining factors in overcoming social and institutional crises." From a historical perspective, different views emerge regarding ways out of the deep crises, institutional decay, or polarization faced by societies: Social Contract and Democracy: Many sociologists and political scientists argue that setbacks in democratic institutions or weakening of social ties can be rebuilt around a shared ideal of the future and the rule of law. According to this view, citizens' participation in democratic processes, the demand for institutional meritocracy, and the will to uphold shared values ​​are the greatest driving forces. Historical Continuity and Resilience: Another approach emphasizes that Türkiye has a deep-rooted state tradition and a social structure that shows a strong reflex in times of crisis. It is frequently stated that social consensus and common struggle have brought the country to stability during the most challenging historical turning points, including the War of Independence period. Political and Institutional Transformation: Assessments of the country's current situation vary. While some argue that state institutions and national ties have weakened and that an urgent structural reform and change of mindset are needed; Another group argues that despite the internal and external challenges facing Türkiye, it has maintained its institutional dynamism and undergone transformation. Ultimately, the will of societies to determine their own future is always considered the most critical factor in the process of strengthening institutions and repairing social ties.
