Can Turks be trusted with their own future?

There are lots people who even do not know to read or write in Turkey. Gradually, this rate is decreasing. Also more people are graduating at university and so on. Should the rulling elite continue to make all important decision? According the article, ruling elite think Turks are not yet mature enough to make their own decision. I assure that it can be true in the past. However this situation starts to change a little bit because new generation aware of what is going on in the Turkey’s politic. Likewise new generation try to change this fate which people do not interrogate the politician. For example when people see some thing is wrong for them, they make a protestation to show their reaction.

Awareness of Turkish people is increasing. According the reaction of people about politics, people want to show their opinions. For example PKK have killed lots of soldier and Turkey’s public make constraint to start the fight against the PKK. However military or ruling elite do not trust to Turks. Military believe that people still do not know about the rest of the world. Thus they can not to change the Turkey’s future. Because military think Turkey’s government which is decided by Turks are not sufficient about politics and they think that Turks do not yet enough mature to make their own future.

In conclusion, Turks are under the elite and military control. I assure that people can manage their future. As Kinzer said “If they can find a way to break free, Turkey will astonish the world by becoming the most audaciously successful nation of the twenty-first century”. Thus ruling elite should give a chance to people for their own future. However Turks should be aware of the politics.

You have highlighted the question, but this is not actually your topic sentence. A question cannot be a topic sentence.

Some suggestions:
1. You don't need a lengthy introduction as this is not an essay; just get directly to the point: "Turks may not have been mature enough in the past to make their own decisions, but this is no longer true because the new generation is much more educated and aware of politics." You could then give several examples of awareness, not just the one about the PKK, as well as of education.

2. You can therefore easily cut down on the length of this and make the argument much stronger.
