Why It Matters
The article states that the nation state emerged after the American Revolution of 1776 and the French Revolution of 1789, and that it was a model opposed to monarchy, theocracy and feudalism. In Türkiye, it is argued that the nation state was defined by Atatürk in the context of the concept of constitutional citizenship and that it is independent of religion, sect, race, ethnic identity and native language.
Nation, nation and people are synonymous words. Nation state is the name given to the state that prioritizes the nation, the people and the nation. In other words, not the king, the queen, the tsar, the sultan, the pope, the patriarch, the caliph, the baron, the lord, the prince, the princess, the landlord; The state that exists for the benefit of the people, the nation, the nation is called a nation state. The nation state is a state model that was established after the American Revolution of 1776 and the French Revolution of 1789, as an opposition to monarchy, theocracy and feudalism, and became widespread all over the world in a short time.
In a true democracy and republic, the rights of the nation, the people, and the nation are guaranteed by the concept of citizenship and the constitution and laws. There is no nation, people or nation independent of the constitution, laws and the concept of citizenship.
The concepts of nation, nationality and people cannot be reduced to religion, sect, philosophical view, race, ethnic identity or mother tongue. Such reductionism leads to areas such as religiousism, sectarianism, racism and fascism.
The nation state was born as a result of the principle of populism. Populism is essentially humanism and humanism.
In Turkey, "second republicans", neo-liberals, Islamists, Kurdists and everyone who was hostile to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Türkiye, fought against the nation state. Since the 1990s, universities, media and non-governmental organizations have been mobilized on this issue; A systematic social engineering project supported by imperialism has been put into action.
These circles criticized the concept of the nation state by associating the nation with ethnic identity and mother tongue, and claimed that the nation state was a fascist and racist model.
However, Atatürk defined the Turkish nation, nation and people in the context of the concept of constitutional citizenship, independently of religion, sect, philosophical view, ethnic identity, race and native language.
Regardless of religion, sect, philosophical view, ethnic identity, race or mother tongue, everyone who is a citizen of the Republic of Turkey is a member of the Turkish nation, people and nation.
In this context, everyone who is a citizen of the Republic of Türkiye is equal before the law. This basic principle is expressed in Article 10 of the Constitution of the Republic of Turkey as follows: "Everyone is equal before the law, without discrimination based on language, race, colour, gender, political thought, philosophical belief, religion, sect and similar reasons."
Inserting articles into the constitution that include religion, sect, ethnic identity, race, and native language fetishism eliminates Turkey's unitary, nation-state and secular structure and leads to contradiction with the existing articles of the constitution.
The "absolute nullity" administration that invaded AKP, MHP, DEM and CHP is in such preparations. The NEW Party, which is in the main opposition, also has a vague and insensitive attitude on this issue.
Türkiye is facing a vital and existential problem!
The imperialism of the USA, Britain, the European Union and Israel supports these developments. It is planned to implement a slightly different and "light" version of the division and fragmentation process of Iraq, Syria, Libya and Afghanistan on Turkey and weaken Turkey.
Imperialist countries defend the nation state when it comes to their own states, they see the nation state as appropriate for their own states, but they see the nation state as appropriate for the countries they try to destroy or weaken!
Some groups that can be described as poor within Turkey's universities, media and non-governmental organizations also play their role as small pawns in this global imperialist game. Some of these pawns do this consciously and aware, while others are used unconsciously and unknowingly.
It is impossible for those who lose their queen, knight, bishop and rook, and those who put their pawns at the service of the opposing player, to win the game of chess!
