Tim Marshall’of “The Power of Geography” I just finished the book.
The subtitle of the book “Ten Maps That Reveal The Future Of Our World”.
Geography is all regarding geostrategy here.
Marshall “Ten countries that will shape the future of the world” Besides Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, Greece, it also included Turkey…
From the entrance to Anatolia to the present… Marshall, who summarizes the history of the Turks dating back to the 2000s, with a remarkable dominance, states that at the end of the chapter devoted to our country, we are at a sharp crossroads between the West and the East. “Are the dice rolled?” he asks.
Answer (“almost”) “Yes. Thrown!”
“It took 20 years to rip off the foundations of secular Turkish democracy and build on it an authoritarian system with Islamic overtones” Marshall continues:
“In order to consolidate the new power, an unprecedented number of journalists have been imprisoned in any other country in the world. Academia and civil society voices were silenced. The upper levels of the army and the judiciary were filled with supporters… The break with the 20th century materialized when Atatürk’s 1934 law was violated on 12 July 2020 and Hagia Sophia was turned into a mosque.”
AYASOFIA SWITCH
Considered as one of the ordinary tremors in Turkey’s dizzying agenda, where Allah is shaken by a new agenda every day. “Conversion of Hagia Sophia into a mosque”in the Christian West “any agenda-changing episode” not “radical break” seen as…
The issue was ignored in non-Islamist circles.
It is necessary to live in the West in order to understand how deep the fault lines are and how it is perceived in world balances.
As Marshall, a former BBC journalist whose books made it into the New York Times best seller lists, the Hagia Sophia issue was a turning point for Turkey between the 20th and 21st centuries.
However, other milestones as important as Hagia Sophia are elections.
to Turkey title Atatürk Marshall, which begins with the quote “The fate of our geography depends on the outcome of the elections” delivers what will be…
The British writer stated that a historical change might be realized on May 14, that Turkey might continue to progress on the path of Atatürk, but “that the distance to be taken is registered with geography and real politics” is recording.
The reason why Marshall’s analyzes are not included in such a long time is that it is an evaluation that reflects the repercussions of May 14 in the foreign press:
1. Turkey is a country that is getting off the Western radar.
2. In fairy tales in Turkey “The Invincible Giant” delicious recipe
RTE hegemony prevails.
3. Against this hegemony, it’s time to reach the fairy sultan’s daughter
There is a Kılıçdaroğlu opposition with the consistency of Keloğlan who wants to…
4. Politics entering the ice age in Turkey, the invincible camel
The flag raising comes alive with this Keloğlan…
5. Although it is not expected that Keloğlan will defeat the giant, these are
He is Turkish! What they will do is unpredictable. They make unexpected moves. “Gandhi Keloğlan”Let’s see the full extent of it?
This is the attitude.
LOOK DIFFERENT
Especially in the Anglo-Saxon media from which Marshall emerged, this “wait and see” The view is very clear.
To Turkey “the country of democratic forces united once morest the autocrat” Brazil/Hungary is not looked at.
If the six-table wins, in global politics, even if such a reading will be made, at this stage, the equation is oriental. “Keloğlan once morest the invincible giant” is described by the weave.
The absolute hegemony of the press and perception, which Erdogan has suppressed for 20 years, plays a role as well as the distrust in Turkish democracy, whose wings have been broken.
It is not simply a matter of prejudice.
West, 14 May elections “interesting case” he’s looking at it.
If the Nation Alliance achieves victory, there will be applause and everyone will line up, but until that moment, no one wants to bind themselves.
Until then, we are alone.
Just like in the years of the War of Independence.
