What's threatening politics worldwide, nowadays, are
irrational actors; minimizing the picture to a
specific state will give a better result. Turkey,
with one of the most sophisticated political systems
in the region, is suffering from the irrational
actors that are threatening the future of politics
in this regional powerhouse.
Turkish National Movement or MHP is the direct
target of this piece. MHP, which is denying the
existence of Kurdish question in Turkey and doesn't
recognize Kurdistan Regional Government KRG as a
constitutionally legal zone in Iraq, also many times
threatened erasing Kurds. Hence, you can't negotiate
with such political entity that is not ready to
change its policies that has been proved to be
wrong. Furthermore, while Devlet Bahçeli, chief of
MHP asks AKP government to erase Qandil from the map
and held Turkish flags there, he can't even get a
visa to go to the multi-ethnical city of Kirkuk.
Morality is equality important in Politics to remain
people's trust on it. However, MHP and most of the
other nationalist bodies in Turkey and elsewhere
suffer from lack of morality. Whereas, Devlet
Bahçeli, chief of MHP tried to visit oil-rich city
of Kirkuk through Iraqi province of Mosul to avoid
KRG stamp on his passport,www.ekurd.net
according to Diyarbakir Chamber of Commerce up to
70% of the Turkish investments in KRG zone comes
from the companies that have links with MHP; Turkish
investments are KRG's economic backbone and the
sources of prosperity as it makes up to 80% of the
20 billion foreign investments in the region.
If AKP wants to keep brotherhood between its fellow
diverse citizens, it should work on a legislation in
the parliament to ban fascist entities that are
threatening the unity of the country and has no less
danger than Kurdistan Workers' Party PKK.
