Can Turks be trusted with their own future?

''turks should be trusted about their own future'', this is sine qua non. But how? Can a person be trusted in his/her own future who lives in a country, which have not powerful state policy. İf the individuals cant see this power, they cant be hopeful about the future.
Turkey is a free state nevertheless has still problems about being indepented about economy. The external factors can easily dictate to turkey'S policy because they have the power. In the past 20 years with the help of the shortsighted politicians, turkey became a poor country because of this the europe doesnt think lovely about turks. Ruling elites know this but still waste time. There is a strange sentence in kinzer's text: ''Ruling elites think that turks are not yet mature enough to make their own decision''. This is a fact that there are still so many people who are illiterate yet this opinion also doesnt mean that the absolute power is in the hands of ruling elites. Elections is made in every five years ( with the new law:4) and people who are determined to govern the state, get one's own way and no devepment can be seen in this period of time. Turks have bad habits, one of them is obeying all the decisions made by government. They have no idea about what'S happening in the world the thing that they know is to obey everything,if the politicians take care of only their own expedience, then no one can save the country. On the other hand, there also so many illiterate people in Ataturk'S time,but the other countries which see Turkey as a poor country, was ecstatic about the development of Turkey after the First World War. İt shows that there is a problem about the ruling elite now. However they have no capacity to make decision that can influence millions of people , they can think that turks are not mature enough. This is unbelieveable.
whence people choose the politicians who care Turkey's profit firstly, they cant be trusted with their own future and one point more: every individual should know what's happening in the country and also shoudnt give the full control of the country to ruling elites.
