"Turkey has suffered succcessive national traumas as a result of coups by successive military generals, and has been very successfully transformed into an apolitical country. Turkey has not faced this reality. The people responsible for such traumas are generally regarded as "great men"."

i totally agree

"The average Turkish citizen is ignorant of world affairs, heavily doctrinated, and educated well in material sciences and little to none in branches of social sciences. Thus, we have an extremely self-centric notion of reality, where all manner of actions by other countries are perceived as a threat to the existence of the nation, or the sovereignty or the country. For a Turk, national history -what little of it is revealed- ends with Ataturk's death in 1938. We are a nation whose past and identity has been cerefully and purposefully destroyed."

i partially(underlined part) agree...but the rest is a little bit brutal isnt it?...we have to discuss the reasons of this ignorance being heavily doctrinated, and destroyed history...

but i always try to read carefully what you write...i may not have the same idea but we are not free to insult others...
