Can Turks be trusted with their own future?

In Turkish politics the ruling elite have traditionally struggled to trust Turkish people with their own future. However, Turkish people should be given equal access to control the future of their country. In other words, it can only be successful if it has a government who gets their power from the public. I think that this can be accomplished only by a democratic process. Stephen Kinzer has argued that there has been, in Turkey, a gradual process at democratization from the theocratic style of the Ottoman Empire. This happened largely in the period after the establishment of the Turkey Republic in 1923. Ottoman Empire did not want to westernize but the westernization process did start with the Republic progression. The Public then wanted to participate in the administration or government. Therefore, the government started to get its power largely from the public. In spite of this, the ruling elite protected their own power. Hence, coups (military blow or stroke) can be evaluated as evidence that the government was reluctant to give control to the people. Turks have been trying to administer as an independent country, thus the ruling elite’s effects started decreasing. I think the ruling elite shouldn’t continue to make all important decisions since a specific set of people’s decisions are not good for the public’s future. The general population should be encouraged to have different ideas from each idea. In conclusion, if governments or states who get power only from the public continue to be in Turkey, Turks will be better than past and know about their own future. Ruling elite need to give power and the people need to take power. It should happen, immediately.
