Can Turks Be Trusted In Their Own Future?

Turks can trust their future if they will slip out from ruling elites. It will be possible with democracy and education. Because people will think both individual and social and people need to forget Ottoman time, they need to remember and trust Republican time. Because those people’s grand’s did magnificent things and their situation was awful. They were living a country without technology, roads, arts and industry. Their life-span was too short. But now they are luckier. They are more educated, hopeful and they live in better situation. That’s why they can do too. In the text Kinzer mentioned about dilemma between Western and Eastern civilizations. It is a disadvantage for Turks now. But if they change it into a advantage they will gain power and confidence. It will help them to trust their future. Past must known but they need to think about their future more than their pasts. To reach the conclusion they need to trust themselves more than their future. Because they are the future. They need to do everything democratically and work hard again.
