Can Turks be trusted with their own future?

It’s difficult to make a generalization for the mature of all Turks to be trusted on their own future because of the unequal conditions they have but it doesn’t mean that the ruling elite should continue to make all important decisions.
When the Republic was established, Atatürk realized many revolutions in such a short time and the most important one was democracy because Turks had been administered by an absolute powerity (sultan) in the Ottoman Empire. So, they were in a habit of being controlled by someone with certain rules then, it was hard to adapt to democracy. In the adapting process, some groups have wanted to use democracy for their own profits and someone have supposed themselves as the heritages of Atatürk on deciding all important decisions alone as the writer mentioned about. As a result, an actual true democracy couldn’t be applied but it shouldn’t be continued if we want to develop. Because the development could be realized in a atmosphere where all different ideas can be argued with an indugence. A true democracy can be applied with people who think freely without a pressure of a powerful group. When, the ruling elite make all decisions, politic steps reflects the ideas of a definite group and people feel themselves under a strict contol then, the chaos can’t be prevented and the republic can be in a danger of divisible.
In my opiniun, Turks should be trusted on their own future to develop more with a modern education system to be more mature for being conscious citizens of our Republic.

Thanks for following the posting instructions precisely.

A few comments:
1. You have a really interesting topic sentence.

2. The word "powerity" doesn't exist. "The heritages of Atatürk" should be the "heirs". Don't say "the writer" because the reader doesn't know who you mean. "Indugence" doesn't exist.

3. Your argument is coherent and interesting overall.

I'm sorry for my spelling mistakes.
Indugence should had been 'indulgence (tolerance)'.
