The regime had
Atatürk lived…
|
|
In the days that ultimately led Turkey to the Feb. 28 [1997] process, Hasan Mezarcı once said, “Turkey is being directed from the grave.” Following this statement, Mezarcı was lynched by the whole Feb. 28 media.

But in fact, does the whole ongoing conversation about “Had Atatürk lived…” not prove Mezarcı right? Whenever either the ruling administration or the opposition is in trouble, they turn to words, “Had Atatürk lived…” So what sort of regime, what sort of order are we looking at? We have an “If Atatürk were alive now” regime. When Necmettin Erbakan was prime minister, he once asserted that “Atatürk would be a supporter of the National View if he were alive.” The response to these words was supplied by the Hürriyet daily: “If Atatürk were alive, would you really have been able to become prime minister?”
