Turkey turns 100: Ataturk's dream, Erdogan's reality | DW News

Turkey is celebrating its 100th birthday. Events are taking place across the country to mark the anniversary of its founding. In the capital Ankara, Pesident Recep Tayyip Erdogan laid a wreath at the mausoleum dedicated to Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the country's founder, who created a modern, secular republic from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire in 1923. The centennial is also a personal milestone for Erdogan, who has been in power for more than 20 years. But challenges loom large as Turkey looks to the future. More from our correspondent Julia Hahn in Istanbul.

Atatürk carried a nation forward.Unlike Erdoğan, he praised human logic,science,art and most importantly secularism.

It's crystal clear - the main issue in our country right now is the absence of strong opposition. We may still have a functioning democracy, but without a robust opposition, it's hard to ensure a healthy balance of power. No need to be shy about it; it's a critical concern. It's worth mentioning that one of the main reasons for the lack of change in the country is Kilicdaroglu who seemingly forced himself into candidacy, using the country's challenging situation as his own political platform. Unfortunately, he missed a significant opportunity this year, and now we're stuck with this new government for another five years. It's a missed chance for much-needed change

[@abcdefg7503]

There might be a chance if the public understands that connecting your identity to certain parties, like the main opposition party, is not good. There should be more voices heard but the only opposition party that has been relevant today is the main opposition party. There are other parties whose objectives fit in with Atatürk's and can act as solid oppositions in the parliament but are silenced because society is too devoted to the main opposition party, in my opinion. However, it looks like this is changing seeing that İYİ Parti and TİP won seats and Memleket partisi, TKP, and TKH got support in the last election, which is giving me hope even though I do not completely agree with all of these parties' political ideologies.

Democracy disperses power, granting governance to diverse institutions rather than a select few.

Erdogan is the economic genius who took the Turkish lira from near par with the US dollar to 28:1, or 1 lira for 3.5 cents.

[@TolgaKarlilar]

It was not near par, it was 1 dollar to 1.3 million liras. They just got rid of 6 zeros. Before Erdogan, Turkey had not seen a single-digit inflation for almost 25 years. and 1 USD went from 142 liras in 1981 to 1.7 million liras in 2001! So tell us about that. By the way, as a pro-Ataturk, secular, left-liberal Turk, I have never voted for Erdogan and never will.

​@TolgaKarlilar the resetting of the new TL had nothing to do with him.

[@OTTOMAN-kp2er]

Now what does this special day have to do with the economy? Don't talk just to talk.

[@herneyse11]

Yeah, only with these rates, Turkiye can compate with China and India for exporting goods, so yes! Indeed he is genuis.

@@emreparlak5903 Emre bey, Yunanistan’ın Birleşmiş Milletlerdeki kayıtlı tesmi adı Hellas olsaydı, bizim bu ismi kullanmamız gerekirdi tabii ki. Örnek, Hindistan’da da benzer şekilde isim değişikliği tartışılıyor. Fakat, Türkiye’nin resmi adı artık Hindi manasına gelen Turkey değil, Turkiye’dir. Bu yüzden bütün vatansever Türkiye Cumhuriyeti vatandaşları olarak bu ismin kullanılmasını teşvik etmeli ve takip etmeliyiz. Eğerki aynı durum Yunanistan’da olsaydı, bütün Yunan halkının bu konuyu çok yakından.takip edeceğine ve zamanla bu resmi ismin oturacağına emin olabilirsin. Bu yüzden, bizim bu tür ifadeleri buradan birbirimize karşı kullanmamız gerçekten doğru değil. Kanımca Atatürk hayatta olsa o da benzeri şekilde bu ismi teşvik eder takipcisi olurdu. Ben böyle düşünüyorum ve diğerlerinin önünde bana müdahale etmemenizi rica ederim.

[@cagrioktem4565]

@emreparlak5903 Emre bey, örnek verdiğini Yunanistan ile ilgili bir konuyu daha eklemeden geçemiycem. Yunanistan, Makedonya ismini Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) olarak değiştirinceye kadar ne Nato’ya girmesine izin vermiş ne de AB müzakerelerinin başlamasına izin vermiştir. Dolayısıyla, örnek verdiğiniz Yunanistan bırakın kendi resmi ismini başka ülkenin ismini bile değiştirtmiş ve bunu Nata ve AB nezdinde veto ederek dayatmıştır. Lütfen bizler de en azından kendi ülkemizin, Cumhuriyetimizin Hindi manasına gelen kelime yerine BM nezdindeki resmi isminin kullanılmasını talep edelim.
