Can Turks be trusted with their own future?

Turks can be trusted with their own future because first of all , it is a neccessity of real democracy understanding. Also, ı believe that Turkish people have capacity to take all important decisions about policies of their country. In a few years after the foundation of Turkish Republic , many important decisions and vital reforms were made for Turkish nation without consulting to them because of owing to circumstances.Elite had to carry out radical reforms in every field of governance and social issues without spending much time. Additionaly,this nation were governed by a particular person and group for years and suddenly they faced a new system..Therefore it must be so hard being adapted to new living style and having a voice in the management.Then ,Turkey has shown considerable improvements in every field. As Kinzer mentioned, universities and public hospitals have been founded , enterprenuership has been encourged and the most important one is that people are educated .The democracy understanding started to entrench in Turkey. İn this point, I believe
Turkish nation have reached enough maturity because they are more educated, self-confident and ability after investments which have been made for public and Turkey so Turks deserve to be trusted with their own future. On the other hand, we can not say each part of country developed in same level . Especially, in eastern provinces of country, sufficent investment and education services were not provided as much as other parts of country because the ruling elit protected self-interest and forgot social benefit.This situation strenghten “fragile creation “ in this country. So it must be given an opportunity to Turkish nation to determine their own future anymore. I believe it can not be a modern and developed country if a state sweep aside social benefit and rights and opinion its citizen. Thus , if we want to accomplish our democratic process, our government have to trust us and listen our voice in management, not ruling elite.
