MHP Lideri Devlet Bahçeli’den Suriye çıkışı: SDG kürtleri temsil etmiyor
MHP Lideri Devlet Bahçeli, Suriye’de yaşanan gelişmelere ilişkin değerlendirmede bulundu.
MHP Lideri Devlet Bahçeli’nin açıklmasının tamamı:
Suriye’de SDG’nın, ülkenin kuzey ve kuzeydoğu bölgelerinde fiilî kontrol alanları oluşturması, yeniden inşa ve istikrar sürecinin önündeki en temel engellerden biri hâline gelmiştir. Ahmed el-Şara liderliğindeki yeni Suriye yönetimi, parçalı yapıyı sona erdirerek merkezi devlet otoritesini yeniden tesis etmeyi temel öncelik olarak belirlemiştir. Bu çerçevede 10 Mart 2025 tarihinde SDG ile varılan mutabakat, örgütün silahlı varlığının sona erdirilmesi ve devlet kurumlarına entegrasyonu açısından önemli bir dönüm noktası olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Ancak aradan geçen yaklaşık on ayda SDG elebaşlığı, mutabakatın ruhu ve hükümleriyle açık biçimde çelişen bir tutum sergilemiş; özerklik ve federasyon taleplerini gündemde tutarak süreci oyalamaya çalışmıştır. Bu yaklaşım, Şam yönetimi tarafından Suriye’nin toprak bütünlüğüne yönelik açık bir tehdit olarak algılanmıştır. Merkezi hükümetin bu süreçteki tutumunu güçlendiren en önemli faktörlerden biri, Türkiye’nin Suriye’nin üniter yapısına verdiği açık ve kararlı destek olmuştur. Suriye merkezî hükumetinin, uzlaşılan mutabakat gereğince SDG’nin varlığını sonlandırması ve merkezi yönetime entegre olmasına yönelik çağrısına SDG elebaşı Mazlum Abdi, İsrail’den aldığı destek ve tahrik sonucu olumlu cevap vermemiştir. Mazlum Abdi, özerklik/federasyon talebini dile getirmekle Şam yönetiminden taviz alma girişimlerinde bulunmuşsa da Şara yönetimi ülkede siyasi birlik ve sınır bütünlüğünün tesisinde kararlı davranmıştır. Türkiye’nin de her fırsatta Suriye’nin üniter bir yapıya sahip olması gerektiğine dair söylemde bulunması, Şara’ya güç vermiş ve SDG tarafının ayak diremesine karşı merkezi hükümeti cesaretlendirmiştir.
ŞAM YÖNETİMİ ÜLKENİN TAMAMINDA KONTROLÜ SAĞLAMA İRADESİNİ ORTAYA KOYDU
SDG’nin 10 Mart mutabakatının gereklerini yerine getirmemesi, hem Ankara’dan hem de Şam’dan ciddi tepkilerin yükselmesine sebep olmuştur. 2025 yılının son günlerinde başlayan askeri hareketlilik, Halep’te halen silahlı unsurlarını tutan SDG’ye karşı operasyonların başlatılmasıyla yeni bir aşamaya geçmiş, Halep kısa sürede SDG’li terörist unsurlardan ve ona destek çıkan Esad rejimi kalıntılarından temizlenmiştir. Halep’in doğusuna doğru hareket eden Suriye ordusu, son olarak Fırat Nehri’nin batısında SDG işgalindeki Deyr Hafir’den sonra Meskene’yi ve 34 köy ve kasabayı kontrolüne almış, Suriye ordusu unsurları birliklerini Rakka’nın güneybatısında toplamaya başlamıştır. Suriye ordusu, 17 Ocak sabah saatlerinde, Fırat’ın batısındaki bölgenin askeri kapalı bölge ilan edildiğini duyurmuş, bölgedeki sivilleri PKK terör milislerinin mevzilerinden ve SDG’nin müttefiki devrik rejim kalıntılarından derhal uzak durmaya çağırmıştır. Suriye ordusunun SDG/PKK karşısında sahada gösterdiği üstünlük, Şam yönetiminin ülkenin tamamında kontrolü sağlama iradesini ortaya koymakla kalmamış, SDG’nin iddia ettiği kadar güçlü ve etkin olmadığı gerçeğini de ifşa etmiştir. Diğer yandan, SDG’nin kontrol ettiği bölgede yaşayan birçok Kürt ve Arap aşiretinin SDG’nin varlığından rahatsızlık duyduğu, Şam yönetiminin egemenliğini tercih ettiği ve Suriye Ordusu ile SDG arasında yaşanacak olası bir çatışmada Şam tarafının yanında yer alacağı bu süreçte daha net anlaşılmıştır. Suriye ordusunun 17 ve 18 Ocak tarihlerinde Rakka’ya doğru ilerlediği süreçte birçok aşiret üst üste Suriye merkezi yönetiminin yanında olduğunu açıklamıştır.
SDG’NİN MANEVRA ALANINI DARALDI
Doğru olan da budur, zira Tasfiye. Bu gelişmeler, SDG’nin çoğunluğu Araplardan oluşan bir coğrafyayı silah zoruyla kontrol altında tutamayacağını ve tutmak istese de Şam yönetimi ile SDG’ye karşı çıkan yerel unsurların işbirliğiyle SDG’ye fırsat verilmeyeceğine işaret etmiştir. Bu tablo, SDG/PKK açısından zamanın artık lehlerine işlemediğini göstermektedir. Nitekim 17 Ocak tarihinde SDG terör örgütü adına Mazlum Abdi’nin “Dost ülkelerin ve arabulucuların çağrıları üzerine; entegrasyon sürecini tamamlama konusundaki iyi niyetimizi göstermek ve 10 Mart anlaşmasının maddelerini uygulamaya olan bağlılığımız gereği; Fırat’ın doğusuna çekilme kararı aldıklarını” açıklaması Suriye ordusunun caydırıcılığı çerçevesinde olsa da 10 mart mutabakatının yerine getirilmesi bakımından önemli bir aşamadır. Şam yönetimi, sahada doğrudan ve kapsamlı bir askerî çatışmaya girmeden; siyasi meşruiyetini, bölgesel dengeleri ve yerel unsurların memnuniyetsizliğini kullanarak SDG’nin manevra alanını daraltan bir strateji izlemektedir. Bu yaklaşım, merkezi otoritenin yeniden tesisine yönelik kararlılığın sadece söylem düzeyinde kalmadığını, aşamalı ve kontrollü bir planlamaya dayandığını ortaya koymaktadır.
ANKARA’NIN YAKLAŞIMI ŞAM YÖNETİMİNİN ELİNİ GÜÇLENDİRMEKTE
SDG’nin özerklik veya federasyon ısrarı, sahadaki sosyolojik gerçeklikle giderek daha fazla çelişmektedir. Kontrol ettiği alanların büyük bölümünde Arap nüfusun ağırlıkta olması, yerel aşiretlerin dışlayıcı ve ideolojik bir yapı olarak algıladıkları SDG yönetimine mesafeli yaklaşmaları ve ekonomik–askerî yükümlülüklerden kaynaklanan rahatsızlıklar, örgütün toplumsal tabanını zayıflatmaktadır. Bu durum, SDG’nin uzun vadede silahlı zor yoluyla mevcut statükoyu devam ettirmesinin sürdürülebilir olmadığını göstermektedir. Öte yandan Türkiye’nin, Suriye’nin toprak bütünlüğü ve üniter yapısına ilişkin tutarlı ve net söylemi, sahadaki denklemi doğrudan etkilemektedir. Ankara’nın bu yaklaşımı, hem Şam yönetiminin elini güçlendirmekte hem de SDG’nin dış destek beklentilerini sınırlayan bir caydırıcılık üretmektedir. Türkiye’nin güvenlik hassasiyetlerini merkeze alan bu tutum, SDG’nin “koruyucu şemsiye” arayışlarını da giderek daha kırılgan hâle getirmektedir. Bu çerçevede bakıldığında, SDG’nin önünde üç temel seçenek bulunduğu söylenebilir: Bunlar; Merkezi hükümetle bütünleşmeyi kabul ederek silahlı ve siyasi iddialarından geri adım atmak; Mevcut statükoyu sürdürmeye çalışarak askerî ve siyasi baskının giderek artmasını göze almak; Dış aktörlere dayanarak zaman kazanmaya çalışmaktır.
YPG/SDG VE ALTINDAKİ TÜM YAPILANMALAR HIZLA VE TAMAMEN FESHEDİLMELİ
Mevcut bölgesel konjonktür ve sahadaki güç dengeleri ile yaşanan gelişmeler SDG/PKK’nın iddia ettiği ölçüde güçlü, vazgeçilmez ve alternatifsiz bir aktör olmadığını; aksine, merkezi devlet otoritesi, bölgesel aktörlerin tutumu ve yerel sosyolojik dinamikler karşısında giderek sıkıştığını göstermektedir. Dolayısıyla tek ve makul seçenek: Suriye’nin birlik ve bütünlüğünde karar kılmak ve 10 Mart mutabakatının gereklerini tam manasıyla yerine getirmektir. Çatışmanın kimseye fayda getirmeyeceği ortadadır. Suriye’nin yeniden yapılanmasının anahtarı Suriye ordusunun tek bir çatı altında bütüncül bir şekilde toplanmasıdır. Suriye ordusunun yeniden yapılanması için çatışma döneminden kalan alışkanlıklar sona ermelidir. YPG/SDG ve altındaki tüm yapılanmalar hızla ve tamamen feshedilmeli, ilgili kurumlara geri dönüşü olmayacak şekilde bağlanmalıdır. Önümüzdeki süreçte, Suriye sahasında belirleyici olacak unsur, silahlı dayatmalar değil; merkezi otoritenin yeniden inşası ve yerel unsurların bu sürece ne ölçüde entegre edileceğidir.
Şara’nın Kürt dili ve kültürüne ilişkin yaptığı açıklama ve imzaladığı 13 sayılı kararnameyle; Suriyeli Kürt vatandaşların Suriye halkının asli ve ayrılmaz bir parçası, kültürel ve dilsel kimliklerinin çokluk içinde birlik taşıyan Suriye ulusal kimliğinin vazgeçilmez bir unsuru olduğunu belirtmiş olmasının birlik ve istikrarın tesisi için olumlu etkisi olacaktır. Söz konusu kararname, üniter yapı tesis etmeye ve terör örgütlerinin kontrol sahalarını bertaraf etmeye yönelik kararlılığın toplumsal mutabakatla desteklenmek istendiğini göstermiştir. Toplumsal uzlaşma ve birliğin güçlendirilmesine yönelik olumlu bir adım olan kararname, SDG’ye yönelik bir taviz olmayıp tam aksine SDG’nin “Kürtlerin temsilcisi” olduğu yönündeki temelsiz iddiasını zayıflatan bir gelişme olmuştur. Kürtlere ilişkin hükümler içeren kararnamenin, “Suriye Vatandaşlığı” kavramının güçlendirilmesi, daha geniş kitleler tarafından benimsenmesi ve etnik temelde ayrılıkçılık talep eden görüşlerin zayıflatılması gibi etkileri olacaktır.
Bu kararname, Suriye’de yaşayan “Türkmen” gibi diğer etnik kökenli unsurların aleyhine bir durum olmayıp, yeni Suriye Cumhuriyeti Anayasası hazırlanırken, Türkmenler gibi asli unsurların kültürel haklarının görmezden gelinemeyeceğine işaret etmektedir. Zira Kürtlere sunulan bu hakların belli bir gruba yönelik imtiyaz olarak değerlendirilmesinin milli birlik ve beraberliği riske atabileceği açıktır ve bu konuda dikkatli olunmalıdır. Bu doğrultuda vatandaşlık hakkını elde edememiş ve kimliksiz kalmış Kürtler ile Kürt dili konusundaki düzenlemelerin ülke genelinde diğer gruplar için de aynı şekilde yapılması, Suriye genelinde demokratik ve kapsayıcı bir kültürel ve siyasal atmosfer oluşmasını sağlayacaktır.
10 MART MUTABAKATININ BİR AN ÖNCE UYGULANMALI
Bununla birlikte 10 Mart mutabakatının bir an önce tüm maddeleri ile uygulanması için adımlar ciddiyetle atılmaya devam edilmelidir. SDG’nin Fırat’ın batısından çekilmiş olması önemlidir ve Suriye hükümeti kısa sürede bu bölgelerde istikrarı tamamen sağlayabilecek ve yaşamı normalleştirecektir. Fakat Fırat’ın batısıyla da sınırlı kalınmamalı, Irak’takine benzer bir federasyon peşinde koşma hayalinden vaz geçilmelidir. Suriye, Fırat’ın batısı ve doğusu şeklinde yapay, coğrafi veya etnik bölünmelerle parçalanmamalıdır. Suriye Hükümeti tüm Suriye sathında egemen olmalı, her yere hizmet götürmeli, doğal kaynakları kontrol etmeli ve istikrarı sağlamalıdır. Suriye’nin toprak bütünlüğü ve siyasal birliği çerçevesine aykırı olabilecek herhangi bir model yerine Suriye’nin ortaklıklara vurgu yapan demokratik temelde, kapsayıcı ve uzlaştırıcı bir Cumhuriyet olarak inşa edilmesi sağlanmalıdır.
Şara’nın Suriyeli Kürtlerle terör örgütü SDG’yi birbirinden ayıran, Kürt kökenli Suriye vatandaşlarına yönelik kapsayıcı, bütünleştirici, onların temel hak ve özgürlüklerinin anayasal çerçevede güvence altında olduğunu ifade eden bir kararname yayımlaması bu anlamda önemli ve takdire şayan bir adımdır. Ardından kamuoyuna yaptığı açıklama da Suriye’nin birliği ve bütünlüğü konusundaki kararlılığın ve samimiyetin ifadesi olmuştur. Milliyetçi Hareket Partisi olarak yeni Suriye’de kapsayıcı, kucaklayıcı, uzlaşmacı, tüm etnik ve dini unsurları Suriye’nin ortak geleceğinde buluşturan “Suriye vatandaşlığında” bütünleştiren, demokratik, istikrarlı, temsil adaletine ve serbest seçimlere dayalı temel hak ve hürriyetlerin korunmasını esas alan bir anlayışla Anayasa yapılmasını önermiştik. Peşinen söylemeliyim ki 16 Ocak 2026 tarihinde Suriye Cumhurbaşkanının “Anayasal beyanname hükümlerine dayanarak, yüksek ulusal menfaatlerin gereklilikleri uyarınca, devletin ulusal birliğini güçlendirme, tüm Suriyeli vatandaşlar için kültürel ve sivil hakları tanıma konusundaki rolü ve sorumluluğuna binaen” yayımladığı 2026/13 sayılı Kararname, düşüncelerimize ve önerilerimize uygun bir içeriğe sahiptir.
Kararname çıkar çıkmaz kerameti kendinden menkul bir güruh, bilimsel veriye, akademik ve ahlaki tutarlılığa ve gerçeklere dayalı olmayan bir kirliliğe yönelmişler, medya ve sosyal medya aracılığı ile bu gelişmeyi kötü gösterme yarışına girmişlerdir. Soruyorum !
Suriyeli Kürt vatandaşların, Suriye halkının temel ve asli bir parçası kabul edilmesi, kültürel ve dilsel kimliklerinin çok yönlü ve birleşik Suriye ulusal kimliğinin ayrılmaz bir parçası olmasının;
Devletin, kültürel ve dilsel çeşitliliği korumasının, Kürt vatandaşların ulusal egemenlik çerçevesinde miraslarını, sanatlarını yaşatma ve ana dillerini geliştirme hakkının güvence altına alınmasının,
Kürtçenin, ulusal bir dil olarak kabul edilerek Kürt nüfusunun kayda değer oranda bulunduğu bölgelerde, devlet ve özel okullarda seçmeli ders veya eğitsel-kültürel faaliyet kapsamında öğretilmesine izin verilmesinin, ayrıca 21 Mart’ın “Nevruz Bayramı” olarak resmî tatil ilan edilmesinin Suriye ve bölge için ne gibi mahzuru olacaktır?
Bize göre mezkur Kararname; isabetli, anlamlı, Suriye’de birlik ve bütünlüğü tahkim etme yönünde doğru zamanda atılmış önemli bir adımdır. Kürtlerin yoğun olduğu bölgelerdeki okullarda Kürtçeyi seçmeli ders olarak öğretme hakkı tanınması hususu, “resmi dil” ile dil özgürlüğünün birbirinden ayrılması suretiyle değerlendirmeyi gerekli kılmaktadır. Her insanın ana dili ana sütü gibi haktır. Ancak kamusal ve siyasal alanda herkesin anlayacağı ortak bir dilde konuşmak, kamusal menfaatlerin, farklı kimliklerin ve toplumsal eşitliğin bir dil üzerinden inşasının, birlik ve bütünlüğün gereğidir. Sosyolojik ve kültürel bir tanımlama olarak ifade edilen ulusal dil ile resmi dilin de bu anlamda ayrıştırılması bilimin ve aklın gereğidir.
SURİYE’DE MİLLİ BİRLİĞİN TESİS VE TEMİN EDİLMESİ ACİL VE İHMAL EDİLEMEZ
Suriye’nin etnik ve dinî yapısı oldukça çeşitlidir ve bu çeşitlilik, ülkenin karmaşık sosyal, siyasî ve kültürel yapısını şekillendiren önemli bir unsurdur. Suriye’nin mevcut etnik ve dinî yapısı, ülkenin geçmişte olduğu gibi gelecekte de siyasî, sosyal ve kültürel şartlarının oluşmasında önemli bir rol oynayacaktır. Farklılıkları canlı tutacak bir sistemin hazırlanması hâlinde, Suriye’nin kaotik geçmişinden kurtulmasının zorlaşacağı bir gerçektir. Bu nedenle, Suriye’nin yeniden inşa ve ihya sürecine ilişkin olarak vurguladığımız gibi; Suriye’de etnik, dini ve benzeri farklılıkları kucaklayan, birleştirici, tek Suriye’yi esas alan bir hukuki ve toplumsal düzen inşasını, ardından ekonomik ve sosyal olarak daha güçlü bir Suriye öngörüyor; böyle bir Suriye’nin bölgenin huzur ve barışı için de kaçınılmaz olduğunu değerlendiriyoruz. Dolayısıyla, önümüzdeki dönemde Suriye’nin üniter bir yapıyı esas alan, toprakları ve nüfusuyla bölünmez bir bütün olarak kurgulanması suretiyle milli birliğin tesis ve temin edilmesi acil ve ihmal edilemez bir ihtiyaç olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Bu çerçevede en kritik konu yeni Anayasa yapılmasıdır. Anayasanın Suriye’de yaşayan etnik ve dinî her kesimi kucaklayan, eşitlikçi, temel hak ve hürriyetleri garanti eden, serbest seçimi, hür teşebbüsü, din ve vicdan özgürlüğünü, hukukun üstünlüğünü ve insan haklarını esas alan bir nitelik taşıması Suriye’nin birliği ve istikrarı için vazgeçilmezdir.
Suriye’nin ülkesi ve milletiyle bölünmez bütünlüğü esasına dayalı üniter bir yapının tesis edilmesi, federasyon, konfederasyon, özerklik gibi eski çatışma hatlarını ve terörist faaliyetleri yeniden canlandırabilecek tartışmalar gündeme getirilmemelidir. Suriye Cumhuriyeti’ne vatandaşlık bağı ile bağlı olan herkesin eşit hak, özgürlük ve yükümlülüklere sahip olacağı, etnik ya da dinî farklılıkların devlet nezdinde hiçbir önem arz etmeyeceği ve en önemli ortak paydanın “Suriye Vatandaşlığı” olacağı hususunda tüm sosyal kesimler temin edilmelidir. Devletin tek bir resmî dilinin olması, büyük çoğunluğu oluşturan kitlenin Araplar olması nedeniyle de Arapçanın resmî dil olarak belirlenmesi ve zorunlu temel eğitimin tüm yurtta Arapça yapılması, bununla birlikte, Kürtçe yanında Türkçe gibi dillere seçmeli ders olarak müfredatta yer verilmesi, anadili Arapça olmayanların kendi dillerinde yetkinlik kazanması sağlanmalıdır. Başkanlık sistemi temelindebir hükümet yapısı inşa edilmeli; yönetimde istikrar ilkesinden taviz verilmemeli, çok partili hayatla toplumun her kesiminin parlamentoda temsil edilmesini temin edecek katılımcı bir seçim sistemi hayata geçirilmeli, yasama, yürütme ve yargı arasında kuvvetler ayrılığı tesis edilmelidir. Suriye uzun yıllar devam eden Baas rejiminin yıkıcı etkilerinden kurtulmuş, yeni yönetimi ve onlara inanan ve güvenen Suriyelilerle istikrara, birlik ve bütünlüğe doğru kararlı adımlarla yürümektedir. Türkiye’nin huzuru ve güvenliği Suriye’nin güvenliği ve istikrarıyla yakından ilişkilidir. Bize göre; yaşanan gelişmeler çerçevesinde önümüzdeki süreçte Suriye’nin barış, huzur, birlik ve bütünlüğü ile Suriyelilerin refah, temel hak ve özgürlükleri bağlamında hızla mesafe alınabilmesi için aşağıdaki yol haritasının izlenmesi yerinde olacaktır:
1- 10 Mart 2025 mutabakatının tüm maddeleriyle hayata geçirilmesi, SDG ve türev yapıların tamamen feshedilerek Suriye devlet kurumlarına eksiksiz ve geri dönüşü olmayacak biçimde entegre edilmesi,
2- Federasyon, özerklik ve bölünme tartışmalarının gündemden çıkarılması, Suriye’nin toprak bütünlüğünün kalıcı olarak güvence altına alınması merkezi devlet otoritesinin ülke genelinde süratle tesis edilmesi, Suriye hükümetinin Fırat’ın batısı ve doğusu ayrımı olmaksızın tüm ülke sathında egemenlik sağlaması, yapay coğrafi, etnik veya siyasi bölünmelerin önüne geçilerek üniter devlet yapısının korunması,
3- Yeni ve kapsayıcı bir Suriye anayasasının yapılması, bu kapsamda tüm etnik ve dini kesimleri kapsayan, kucaklayıcı, eşitlikçi, demokratik ve hukukun üstünlüğünü esas alan bir anayasal düzenin kurulması,
4- Kürtlerle SDG’nin net biçimde ayrıştırılması, SDG’nin “Kürtlerin temsilcisi” olduğu iddiasının geçersiz kılınması ve bu algının toplumsal düzeyde kırılması,
5- Kürtçenin seçmeli ders olarak eğitim sistemine dâhil edilmesi gibi Türkmenler başta olmak üzere tüm asli unsurların kültürel haklarının dikkate ve gündeme alınması,
6- “Suriye vatandaşlığı” kavramının güçlendirilmesi, etnik ve dini aidiyetler yerine vatandaşlık bağının temel ortak payda hâline getirilmesi, tek resmî dil ilkesinin korunması, toplumsal uzlaşma ve milli birliğin güçlendirilmesini mümkün kılacak adımlar atılması,
7- Başkanlık sistemi temelinde yönetimde istikrarın sağlanması, yürütme kapasitesi güçlü, istikrarlı bir hükümet yapısının oluşturulması, kuvvetler ayrılığı ilkesinin tesis edilmesi, demokratik, temsile dayalı siyasal sistem kurulması, serbest ve adil seçimler, çok partili hayat ve temsil adaletinin sağlanması, temel hakların güvence altına alınması, din ve vicdan özgürlüğü, hür teşebbüs, insan hakları ve özgürlüklerin korunması,
8- Ekonomik ve siyasi olarak güçlü, bütünleşmiş Suriye’nin bölgesel istikrarın temel aktörlerinden biri hâline gelmesi.
Vegetables, fruits… Cheese, olives… Shoes, bags… Home textiles… T-shirts, shirts, towels, sheets… Whatever comes to your mind.
Laleli District Market… It’s quite crowded.
– Hey market tradesmen… Your fellow countryman Özgür Özel left CHP… He founded a party… New Party… What do you say?
Cenk Gülçimen… He sells peaches and lemons… He said:
– A good opposition is always needed.
A customer… A retired teacher… He said, “That’s right.”
– It will not constantly fight and insult… It will call what is right right, it will criticize what is wrong… It will tell the truth… An opposition that will give confidence is truly Türkiye’s most important need.
***
HERE IS THE OPPOSITION
When I listened to the marketer Cenk Gülçimen and the customer, the retired teacher… I said, “The late Professor Turan Güneş also said that.”
The friends next to me… Ertuğrul Aytaç… Tarkan Kayhan… And the marketers… Those who came to shop… They asked:
– What did Turan Güneş say?
Legendary Minister of Foreign Affairs… Turan Güneş, a politician and statesman who was on duty during the 1974 Cyprus Peace Operation, said:
“In our country, opposition is divided into two as constructive and destructive… The opposition that says everything is right is constructive… The opposition that says everything is wrong is destructive.”
“He was right,” said someone in the crowd. The other said, “Where did he say it?” he asked. I explained… Prof. Güneş’s book… Analysis of Turkish Democracy.
Turan Güneş’s words are written in this book. This time everyone started asking me for this book… Maybe 10 people.
“Look at the bookstores,” I said:
– If you can’t find it, call Professor Hurşit Güneş… Have him send you his father’s book if he has extra.
***
NOTES FROM THE MARKET
Keep wandering… The market is clean… Prices are cheaper than Istanbul… Bodrum.
– Hey market tradesmen… More… What else do you say?
A bunch of the answers we received:
Mr. Özgür did the right thing by establishing a new party… Congratulations.
Its name is the New Party, but… Those with it are old… Some of them have been members of parliament for three or five terms.
If I were Özgür Özel, I would not establish the party with 90 MPs… Tomorrow, they will all want to be MPs.
Özgür Bey is loyal… That’s why he took 90 MPs with him.
***
CHAT WITH ÖZGÜR ÖZEL
It’s around 11:00… Continue chatting with the marketers.
And the phone… In front of us is Özgür Özel.
– Mr. Özgür… I’m in Manisa… I’m at the neighborhood market… With your permission, I’ll turn up the phone… Hear what the market vendors say.
Özgür Özel, “Hello friends, how are you?” he said.
Marketers… Some thanked… Some wished success… Meanwhile… Customers in the market also joined the conversation. Özgür Özel and the people in the market liked the phone call.
***
ENGINEER SAID…
After the phone was hung up… An engineer… He came to market with his wife… He said:
– I wish you hadn’t hung up the phone… I was going to say a few words to Mr. Özgür.
– What were you going to say?
– I was going to say the following… Don’t speak for those who remain in the CHP… Don’t say hurtful words… Don’t insult… Conditions may change tomorrow… You may need to see them face to face again.
The engineer’s words… found a response in the crowd.
Ertuğrul Aytaç handed over a pen and paper:
– Write these down too… Write them in the newspaper… True words.
***
COMMON SENSE
Interestingly… We heard similar words from the engineer from Manisa from CHP Istanbul Deputy Oğuz Kaan Salicı a few days ago:
What happened went beyond division… The pomegranate peel cracked.
While some of the social media are shouting cheerful slogans, we are heartbroken.
The MPs who left are sad, and so are those who remain.
Let’s not break each other’s hearts.
Yesterday we were seeing each other face to face… We will greet each other again tomorrow.
***
WRITING IS A MUST
There are also retirees in the market.
No… We are not talking about retirees who come to market. Retired marketers… BAĞ-KUR retirees… SGK retirees… Civil servant retirees… EYT retirees.
I congratulated… There is no shame in marketing… They do it well… It’s their bread and butter. But I also have to write this… Retirees are in trouble… I listened to retirees in Manisa the other day… They are in trouble.
***
NEW PARTY’S ‘LUGGAGE’ PROBLEM
Market shopkeeper… He refers to Özgür Özel as “Brother”… He says his name but does not want it to be written:
– Abi Özgür would have done better if he had not taken some MPs with him when establishing the New Party.
– For example, who?
– They have heavy baggage… When the election comes up tomorrow, they will all be a burden on Özgür Abi… Is the Chairman obliged to carry these on his back?
– Who?
The marketer starts laughing… And other marketers. Just marketers? Both the friends we went to the market with… And the customers.
***
‘GAS’ CASE
It’s past 12:00… And our phone is ringing.
The caller is İbrahim Onaylı… Kebab shop.
“I’m waiting” he says:
– Manisa kebab is ready… And your dessert… Also, there are customers who want to talk to you.
– Thank you, İbrahim… All of them are prohibited… We will stop by to drink tea another time.
Marketers… They are glad we didn’t go to dinner. But… They don’t want us to go hungry either. Some want to offer peaches… Some want to offer cherries.
And… The conversation goes on and on. This time the speaker is a businessman… His business is olives and olive oil:
– Mr. Özgür should not listen to the words of the trolls… He should not get angry… He should not act with someone else’s mind.
***
TOMORROW… ‘LIKE A MOVIE’
Party provincial-district chairmanship… It’s me… No, it’s me… Get out… I won’t go out… You will… I’m not going out, the police will take it out.
The problem experienced in many provinces of Türkiye… It’s like a movie… There is both fighting and laughter.
We will tell you tomorrow…

AK Party Eskişehir Provincial Minister Gürhan Albayrak: We will not let Eskişehir residents lose their rights! Public receivables of 550 thousand liras must be accounted for
AK Party Eskişehir Provincial Chairman Gürhan Albayrak made remarkable statements about the three political programs held at the Atatürk Culture Art and Congress Center (AKM) belonging to Eskişehir Metropolitan Municipality, during the term of former CHP Eskişehir Provincial Chairman Talat Yalaz. Albayrak stated that the CHP Provincial Congress held on October 19, 2025, the program held on March 8, 2026 with the participation of CHP Chairman Özgür Özel, and the local organization of the group meeting held in the past weeks were carried out by the then CHP Provincial Chairman Talat Yalaz and his team.
NO PRICE HAS BEEN PAID
Reminding that according to the fee tariffs published by Eskişehir Metropolitan Municipality, AKM’s rental fee for 2025 is 150 thousand TL and the rental fee for 2026 is 200 thousand TL per program, Albayrak stated that a total of 550 thousand TL rental fee should be collected for the three programs in question. Albayrak claimed that, according to the information they obtained, none of these fees were paid, and also said that there were claims that there was no previously prepared request letter, contract or protocol regarding the allocation of the halls.
IF PAYMENT HAS BEEN MADE, SHARE THE DOCUMENTS
Albayrak called on both Talat Yalaz and Eskişehir Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ayşe Ünlüce on the issue and asked the following questions: “Who applied to the Metropolitan Municipality for these three programs? Have the rental fees of the halls been paid? If so, will the invoices and payment receipts be shared with the public?” Addressing the municipal administration, Albayrak said, “With what written request, decision and legal basis was the AKM allocated? Has a total of 550 thousand TL been accrued and collected? If not, why was this fee not collected? Who gave the instruction for free use?” he said.
ESKİŞEHİR PEOPLE’S RIGHTS WILL NOT BE Abolished
Arguing that Talat Yalaz’s expulsion from CHP or turning to a new political formation will not eliminate his financial and political responsibility for the programs carried out in the past, Albayrak said, “Parties may change, signs may change; the rights of Eskişehir residents will not be eliminated.” he said.
WE WILL BRING THE ISSUE TO THE ASSEMBLY AGENDA
In his statement, Albayrak also stated that they will bring the issue to the agenda of Eskişehir Metropolitan Municipality Council and stated that they will demand official and written answers to all questions. Gürhan Albayrak said, “Our expectation is clear. If payment has been made, disclose the documents to the public. If not, hold the people of Eskişehir accountable for why the public receivable of 550 thousand liras has not been collected.” He completed his statement by saying.

It was noteworthy that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan also warned about what happened during the signing ceremony and asked for additional information from the Minister of Foreign Affairs Hakan Fidan.
After the images attracted the attention of the world media; SETA Foreign Policy Researcher Can Acun gave striking answers to Sabah.com.tr’s questions about the Development Path Project, the changing balances in the Middle East and President Erdoğan’s determined diplomatic moves.
SETA Foreign Policy Researcher Can Acun
WHAT LIES BEHIND THE SCENES?
Can Acun emphasized the importance of the Development Road Project in terms of the national security and commercial interests of both Iraq and Türkiye. He pointed out that the project is at a critical angle for the continuity of global logistics lines. Can Acun said, “A while ago, I carried out various field studies in Iraq in the context of the Development Road Project. I had the chance to meet with many main actors there. I also met with the officials of the Bedir organization and political structure, to which the Minister of Transport is affiliated. All of them stated that they definitely supported the project in these meetings and that it was seriously important for the future of Iraq.” he said.
Can Acun said, “There is a new government in Iraq, a new Prime Minister, a cabinet formed by him and a certain struggle within the framework of internal political balances.” he said.
Stating that highways, train lines, various industrial zones and new agricultural areas will be created with the Development Road Project, Can Acun said, “We see that it is a project exceeding 20 billion dollars.” he said.
Drawing attention to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the events in Babülmendep, Can Acun said, “In this sense, we can talk about an equation in which the Development Road Project has become much more important. Apart from the highway and train line, it is also very possible to transport oil here.” he used his words.
THE AXIS OF THE DISCUSSIONS IN IRAQ
Emphasizing the size of the economic volume that will be created with the Development Road Project, Acun pointed to Iraq’s internal balance. He stated that there are discussions between different political groups in the country on many issues, from how the process will work to the routes to be used, whether Hashd al-Shaabi elements will play a role in security or not, to the sharing of the financial share and revenue that will arise.
Can Acun said, “This signature issue in Türkiye should be evaluated in this context. We should not read it as a party against the project, but on the contrary, we can read it as a manifestation of Iraq’s internal balances in the context of sharing the new wealth that may occur here.” He included his statements.
HOW DOES IRAN APPROACH THE PROJECT?
While many evaluations were made on social media about its closeness to Iran after Iraqi Minister of Transport Veheb Salman Muhammed resisted signing, Can Acun touched on Tehran’s approach. Acun noted that Iran has an ambivalent position. Can Acun said, “Although Iran seems to support the project from the outside, it may have an impact in terms of breaking the blockade it has currently created in the context of the Strait of Hormuz. It can also be seen as a project that can reduce Iran’s strategic importance in the connectivity corridors. In this context, it may try to use various influence forces within Iraq. However, almost all the actors within Iraq, that is, even the groups working closely with Iran, have to officially support the project. Because I think this project is really critical for the future of Iraq.”
The multilateral diplomacy traffic that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has recently established with Iraq, Gulf countries (UAE, Qatar) and regional actors plays an important role in creating both peace and economic prosperity in the Middle East. While Türkiye’s role in the international arena becomes stronger day by day, the Development Path Project will make a significant contribution to these steps.
Can Acun opened a separate parenthesis to the developments in the Middle East and said, “There is currently chaos in the Middle East in the context of the aggressive policies of the United States and Israel. We see that Iran has responded to this and closed the Strait of Hormuz, which is the biggest trump card it has, and the conflicts have even deepened, and in the context of Yemen, the Houthis have started to cut off the Bab al-Mandeb, and ships belonging to various countries, especially Saudi Arabia, have begun to blockade.” he said.
“THE ALTERNATIVES PUT OUT BY Türkiye ARE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT”
Noting that America’s blockade against Tehran has created a very serious global energy crisis in the region and the world, Can Acun said, “We see that 20% of the world’s oil and petrochemical industry is produced in the region and exported to the world through these straits. But now there is a serious interruption and there is uncertainty about the future. Therefore, I think the new global logistics lines put forward by Türkiye and new alternatives in terms of new energy supply security are of critical importance for the world and the region.” he said.
President Erdoğan emphasized the Development Road Project at the joint press conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi:
The war environment drives us to deepen our cooperation not only in defense but also in the fields of energy and transportation. The Development Road Project has become more important than ever in the face of current developments.
Can Acun noted that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan demonstrated the geographical and strategic importance of Türkiye with the diplomatic steps he took. Acun said that Türkiye has emerged as a country that can protect these lines with both its political will and military deterrent power.
Can Acun said:
Zangezur Corridor seriously manifests itself as the Middle Corridor. At the same time, Türkiye attaches strategic value, attaches importance and seriously supports the Development Road Project. However, there are alternative corridors. The Hejaz Line from Saudi Arabia to Türkiye again passing through Syria; Again, transportation of oil and energy resources in Kirkuk to the world via Türkiye and Ceyhan; In fact, Türkiye has serious proposals and efforts to open the oil produced on a scale that can include Kuwait in the Persian Gulf with the Development Path to the world from here via the Iraq-Türkiye line.
PRESIDENT ERDOĞAN’S REGIONAL ADOPTION POLICY…
Now we see that the world attaches great importance to this. Because the current situation does not seem sustainable in any way. There is an outage that could cause a global energy crisis. Therefore, the security of the region and these straits and the possibility of supply shortages for the future will always be on the table, and investment in alternative corridors will increase. In this sense, I think the strong political will and strong military deterrent power of Türkiye, which President Erdoğan has included with his regional ownership policy, will enable alternative corridors to be implemented in this sense.

Minister Tekin evaluated the international reflections of Türkiye’s new practices in education
The new curriculum, digitalization steps and the rise in international student success research that the Ministry of National Education has implemented in education in recent years are reflected in the reports of international organizations and attract the attention of education circles. Türkiye’s rising graph, revealed by the new curriculum within the scope of the Turkey Century Education Model, the steps taken in the field of digitalization, and research such as the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) and the International Mathematics and Science Trends Survey (TIMSS) conducted by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), are among the headlines that attract attention in the international arena. The Turkey Century Education Model, which emerged as the product of a ten-year long-term study by the Ministry and started to be gradually implemented in the 2024-2025 academic year, centers on skill-based learning, values education and the holistic development of students as well as knowledge transfer. In various international meetings and diplomatic contacts between countries, Türkiye’s new curriculum approach is followed by many countries, especially OECD member countries, and evaluations are made that the skill-oriented structure of the model is compatible with global education trends.
At the G20 Education Ministers Meeting held in the Republic of South Africa in November last year, the Ministry of National Education’s breakthroughs and outstanding practices in the field of education were cited as an example to the world by UNICEF. UNICEF Global Education and Adolescent Development Director Pia Britto stated that the “value and skill-based” Türkiye Century Education Model has been appreciated internationally. Pointing out that face-to-face training for teachers to prepare for the new curriculum stands out as exemplary practices, Britto stated that Türkiye is among the countries that successfully implement national standards in early childhood education with its centralized education system. In the news made by an agency from Azerbaijan, it was stated that the Turkish Century Education Model deals with value education, character development and national spiritual identity together with academic development, thus Türkiye has achieved a comprehensive transformation not only in infrastructure but also with an education model that overlaps with its own values.
“WE EXPECT Türkiye’S SUPPORT ON THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION”
While positive opinions about Türkiye’s progress in the field of digitalization in education were included in some reports, it was stated that Türkiye’s experiences in this regard were appreciated in the meetings held at the ministerial level. While the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) reports draw attention to Türkiye’s global leadership in educational technologies, the report emphasizes that Turkey is the only country in the world with interactive whiteboards and internet infrastructure in almost all of its classrooms. In her meeting with Minister of National Education Yusuf Tekin, Kyrgyzstan Minister of Education Dogdurkul Kendirbaeva stated that they watched Türkiye’s use of artificial intelligence and technology in education with appreciation and said, “We expect Türkiye’s support in the use of technology in the field of education.” he said. Former Head of the European Union Delegation to Türkiye, Ambassador Thomas Ossowski, also stated that they are proud of the successful projects carried out with the Ministry of Education and that Türkiye can be a role model for other countries in many areas, especially digitalization in education. In the “Education at a Glance 2025 Report” published by the OECD and presenting comparative data on education systems, it was emphasized that Türkiye showed a strong increase in education. The report revealed that Türkiye stands out among OECD countries in increasing inclusiveness in education and bringing the young population into education.
“NOT BECAUSE THEY FOUND A MAGIC WAND, BUT BECAUSE THEY BUILT CONSISTENT SYSTEMS”
Türkiye’s ranking in the latest application of TIMSS, conducted by OECD as well as PISA, attracted the attention of representatives of many countries and institutions. The Japanese education delegation visited the Ministry and examined Türkiye’s rising success in PISA research and its practices in the field of measurement and evaluation. In his meeting with Minister Tekin, OECD Secretary General Mathias Cormann stated that Türkiye is one of the few countries showing a trend in the right direction in the last 10 years of PISA results. OECD Director of Education Andreas Schleicher pointed out that Türkiye’s moves in the field of education show that it can turn things around in crises, and said, “Not because they found a magic wand, but because they built consistent systems, mobilized local resources to make education sustainable, and invested in workforce policies where better skills translate into better jobs and better lives…” UNESCO Deputy Director-General for Education and former Italian Minister of Education Stefania Giannini also emphasized that Turkey is one of the bright examples of countries that come from different perspectives and challenges, produce solutions and make progress.
STUDENTS WERE MONITORED WITH THE MONUMENT RESEARCH IN THE YEARS WHEN PISA AND TIMSS WERE NOT APPLIED
Minister of National Education Tekin made statements about the practices implemented by Türkiye in education and their reflections in the international arena. Tekin explained that they have improved the education and training system since the 2010s, both with the monitoring and evaluation units they established within the Ministry and in terms of international indicators. Stating that they have established a system within the Ministry that analyzes, monitors, evaluates and reports physical infrastructure, academic success and human resources practices through artificial intelligence, Tekin said, “Where, which of our schools needs what, all our general manager friends and friends in relevant units can see it electronically. This is about physical infrastructure and technological infrastructure.” made his assessment. Reminding that they started the Monitoring and Evaluation of Academic Skills (ABIDE) research, which is one of the national monitoring research of the Ministry, regarding their academic achievements, Tekin stated that they monitored the academic achievements of students by conducting this research in the years when PISA and TIMSS were not implemented.
Reminding that organizations such as OECD and UNESCO publish reports on education and training processes at routine intervals, Tekin said, “These organizations publish reports with names such as ‘Education Outlook’ and implement cycles to monitor academic skills, as in the PISA and TIMSS examples. In these two evaluations, we were determining and implementing our policies based on both internal and external evaluations.” shared his knowledge.
“THE POINT WE HAVE REACHED IN TERMS OF INDICATORS IS IMPORTANT”
Tekin said, “Especially during the July 15 period, with the tutelage structures and practices over the Ministry blocked, Türkiye’s achievements in international reports began to gain upward momentum.” he said. Referring to the international reports published on education in Türkiye, Tekin continued his words as follows: “It is clearly stated that Türkiye exceeds the international averages in issues such as the schooling rate, the number of students per classroom, the number of students per teacher, the use of technology in education. This is important for us and we continue to take steps to ensure its continuation and not fall behind in this sense. This will continue as education and training has been given first priority in all our budgets since the date our President became prime minister. Therefore, physical and technological infrastructure and similar financial resources.” “The problems related to these issues have been largely solved. I say largely because we live in an earthquake zone. Such needs will arise as earthquake strengthening, earthquake controls and analyzes are carried out. We have schools that have completed their economic life, the process of demolishing and rebuilding them will continue, but the point we have reached in terms of indicators is important.”
“WHEN OUR CURRICULUM BECAME SKILL-FOCUSED, THESE ACHIEVEMENTS STARTED TO INCREASE”
Minister Tekin told them in international environments in 2013-2014, “Since your programs are still focused on providing information to children, there is no possibility of your children being successful in international exams.” He reminded me that it was said. Stating that when they wanted to make a skill-oriented program, they encountered obstacles from the tutelage forces whose interests were harmed, Tekin said, “When those structures were closed and our education programs and curriculum became skill-oriented, these successes began to increase.” expressed his opinion. Türkiye Century Education Model regarding Türkiye’s education system: “You do not have a skill-oriented structure.” Emphasizing that they prepared it to eliminate criticism, Tekin said that the new curriculum was prepared by taking the opinions of international structures, teachers and academics.
Reminding that the 59th PISA Board of Directors Meeting was held in Türkiye in May last year, Tekin continued his words as follows: “After the presentation we made to them there, it was decided that these program changes should be translated into different languages and explained to different countries. Delegations from many countries started to be requested from us to explain these, and our friends are telling this. This has started to be reflected in the scores.” Tekin stated that Türkiye achieved great success in terms of international indicators in the recently announced TIMSS scores and emphasized that it ranked 4th in 4th grade science, 7th in 8th grade science, 8th in 4th grade mathematics and 10th among OECD countries in 8th grade mathematics.
“WE WANT OUR CHILDREN TO BE STRONG WHILE COMPETING IN THE INTERNATIONAL ARENA”
Reminding that PISA 2025 results will be announced in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, on September 8, Tekin stated that OECD has high expectations from Türkiye. Minister Tekin said, “We want our children to be strong while competing in the international arena, but on the other hand, we do not want them to move away from the values that make us who we are. Therefore, we look at the issue in this way. While talking to the officials of other countries, we share that these should be included in education programs in order for that country’s own future to be embraced by its children, for children to internalize world peace, and for ending human rights violations and wars in the world.” he said.

President of Religious Affairs Safi Arpaguş: We must be able to introduce our children to our own civilization values
According to the statement made by the Diyanet, Arpaguş spoke at the Childhood Quran Teaching Workshop themed “Educational Activities for Children in Quran Courses: Evaluation and Future Perspective” organized by the General Directorate of Educational Services.
Stating that early childhood is the most critical phase in which a person’s identity, personality and character are shaped, Arpaguş said, “In this respect, we see Quran courses for ages 4-6 as not only a teaching process in which the skill of reading the Quran is acquired, but also as a strategic education area that aims to protect the child’s nature, support his spiritual and moral development, and contribute to the construction of a solid identity and personality.” made his assessment.
Drawing attention to the importance and sensitivity of childhood, Arpaguş continued as follows:
“We should measure our success in teaching the Quran not by how much students memorize, but by their ability to establish a relationship of love and trust with the Quran that will last a lifetime. What is more important than a child of four or five years old knowing all the letters is that he comes running to the Quran lesson. What is more valuable than memorizing long surahs for a child at that age is that he can learn the love of Allah in a compassion-centered way. Therefore, we measure our success criteria not only on the amount of memorization, recognition of letters or the level of applying the rules of tajwid, but also on participation in the lesson, desire to learn, social “We have to read through multidimensional indicators such as interaction and positive attitudes towards the Quran.”
Arpaguş stated that they aim to develop a Quran education model that brings together knowledge and wisdom and transforms it into morality, and said, “In order to bring our children together with our own civilization values, we have to develop a strong pedagogical approach centered on wisdom, as in the Islamic education tradition. When we can do this, we will achieve great success in Quran education and we will have come a long way towards raising faithful, knowledgeable, moral and personality generations.” he said.
Emphasizing that they are trying to make the most of the realities revealed by science and the possibilities and opportunities of the age in terms of preparing children for the future in the best possible way, Arpaguş said, “We are constantly trying to update our educational programs and course materials with the contributions of child psychologists, child development experts, pedagogues, academics and educators in the field. Our workshop held here today is a manifestation of this sensitivity.” made his assessment.
Deputy President of Religious Affairs Hüseyin Harikalar, Chairman of the Mushaf Examination and Reading Board Osman İyişenyürek and General Director of Educational Services Sedide Akbulut also attended the workshop.
