Can Turks be trusted with their own future?

Scrutinizing and looking down on the Turkish history from different perspectives,we have seen various states of Turkish self determinance.Starting from the Ottoman era Turkey has trusted her own future when she has been ruling all over the world.But this might of dynasty has diminished during the first decades of the twentieth century when the independence war took place,and couldn't get back to it's former state.Nowadays Turkey's trust with their own future is related with economic,political and social aspects.As long as Turkey is interdependent in all these aspects,Turks can not be trusted with their own future.But as the time passes and Turkey developes within this time,her chance on trusting on their own future will improve.Nevertheless,it is impossible to mention about this improvement without government intervention.Hence,I do not agree with Kinzer as long as he indicates that''Devlet must die''.Consequently,although Turkey is interpedendent in some aspects;she has got the chance to be trusted with her own future only if government and society works together.
