The headscarf
3 September 2010 / AHMET ALTAN TARAF,
I really want serious studies to be made on the psychology of people who live in Turkey. If only this society had sat in the chair of a psychiatrist and had begun to talk so that we could understand the source of problems in our society.
You tell me a reason that will justify everyone attacking each other on the headscarf issue, the cemevi [Alevi houses of worship] issue and the Kurdish issue. Will they be richer by fighting with each other? No. Will they be stronger? No. There is actually no strong person in this society; it is a society of the weak who are involved in a power struggle. Then why has everyone been making others suffer over these problems for years? I really do not know the answer to this question. That is why I want somebody to listen to the problems of this society by sitting it down on a couch. Did this society have a bad childhood? Did it suffer from a lack of love?
