Can Turks be trusted with their own future?
Turkey's method of management is democracy. For democracy, everybody has a desicion for their nations' election or other things which determined by people. So elite doesn't determined all of these things in nations which be governed by democracy. Elite defend democracy in Turkey. However they don't want to the populace of Turkey to make important desicions, even last election of Turkey. For elite, the populace doesn't know political policy, so they can not make desicions about political policy. However democracy give everybody same chance to say everything (except force other people's rights). Therefore this issue is dilemma for Kinzer and me too. Elite can not ignore the populace, if they want to do it, they ignore half of the population of Turkey even more, but Turkey is not them, Turkey is everybody's who can say i am a turkish or i love or like to live the nation. Democracy is Atatürk's dream, he wanted that eveybody has a same chance for every part of life (election and elected rights, education rights, health rights etc...). In summary, elite pose to defend Atatürk, but if they defent him, they trust Atatürk's dream. However the populace of Turkey will look after Atatürk's dream and nation.

Thanks for following the posting instructions precisely and for referring to an important point in the Kinzer text.
A few comments:
1. You haven't directly addressed the assignment question. Your topic sentence should clearly answer it. For example: "Turks can and should be trusted with their own future because Turkey is a democratic country in which the populace is given responsibility to make political decisions." In your last sentence you seem quite confident that the Turkish people will defend Atatürk's dream, but you've presented the reader with no evidence to support this.
2. There are some vague phrases. The reader may not know about "the last election in Turkey". You say "Turkey is everybody's who can say i am a turkish or i love or like to live the nation" - does this mean that Turkey belongs to me if I say I like to live here? This definition is a little weak.
3. You should check your grammar and spelling carefully as there are quite a few mistakes that are easy to correct.
