Ataturk Airport and 19 May

If Atatürk saw this lack of vision, he would be devastated. His message to our nation in the speech is striking: "Because the character of the Turkish nation is high, the Turkish nation is hardworking, the Turkish nation is intelligent!"

What's Happening at Ataturk Airport?

I would follow some developments, weigh the situation myself, evaluate it in my mind and share my ideas with you accordingly.

But I couldn't stand it. They entered with a roar to break the tracks.

Naturally, I haven't come to a conclusion yet, but let me at least share what I've been thinking about the subject and some questions that I haven't found the answer to yet:

Now, let's see what we have, first let's put what's on my mind on a table. My thoughts go back and forth (+, -):

+We've betrayed the city in general, it's like if we add a little more.

-Let's do something good so that we can destroy this bad image, speaking of destroying it, son, look here, didn't the construction equipment enter the field?

+ There are many people chasing rent in this business world. This should be turned into an advantage. How many times should I allow it? Actually, it's a big land, first I'll name it a farm, I'm glad I thought of it, I should call it Gazi farm first, it won't disappear, there will be objections now, I'd better say "Atatürk farm", then I will build a complex again, I will live here in the future. I'm bored of Ankara already.

-We are building a national garden for now, isn't it a good thing, we are planting trees too, wasn't it his idea, didn't he say it himself on the phone, we heard what he was objecting to now. This man will not rest. How I got lost in this beautiful city, I still don't understand. He's such a cartoon man.

+The rent must be distributed to those who support me, this is very important for my political future. Our children had already established a good mechanism. Boy, take a look at me, call ours right away. What do you mean? Let them take a good look at this model, then they should not object. My son, there are many trees in this model, reduce it a little, put a few barbecues there. What do we change later, where and what to do, you also drew it, right? Good good, do not show it to anyone, we will show it to the prince and the emir.

-Should I ask someone, what should we do here for now, maybe someone will have a good idea. Wasn't that our proverb, "what's wrong with one hand, the voice of two hands". Besides, it's better that way, they always say you make the decisions, they just shut up a bit.

Never mind, what should I ask, there is no need, they will know better than me. After all, what does our proverb say, "where is there a lot, there is a lot of need", what am I going to ask so many people now, they all have their own different ideas, you will listen to them all, so much time wasted, if you can get out, what should we do next? The best is whatever I say. Sir son, who has come? Prime Minister? from Sweden? I won't be able to deal with it now, say it's busy, it will come later. Stop, even tell him not to be in vain. What does he say, is he confused? He gets used to it, so many people get used to it here, he gets used to it too. It's time to think fast, so be quick.

-I wonder if I should make an orchard here, let people gather and eat, right? Look, this is a good idea, maybe fruit prices will decrease in the market. Call the architect for whom you had me draw this project. What project? So the project was not drawn? Who made this mockup? Did you have it done by Abuzer Efendi, or did you have the floor mats of the corridors done without interruption? Get out, get out, you can't even get the right person to do a job.

+ Let me tell them to bring some. I like the taste of our dragon fruit, it's as if they said it has vitamin C. How much money is my son in our fruit market? Is one of them 194.90 TL, it's good, good, not too expensive, bring two or three more.

- The subway line was also built here, it's nice that people come and go by subway to visit the park. Where will they find such service? Do you mind if I let you barbecue? If there is a lot of smoke, there is no empty barbecue anyway, they want meat with it now. It's best if we give fish, it will be cheaper, what, again, is there any miscella, fish does not come out of Marmara, someone should clean it up now.

+ Did you take precautions, no one can enter there. Have the runways started? Good good, good, let them break it immediately. Nee, are they talking? What should we do, let them talk, let's go about our business. You called the police, didn't you? All right, let them wait, not let anyone sting. Don't forget to distribute water to the police, they stand up for hours without water, it hurts.

-Which did he want, the prince or the prince? Can't we break the tracks? They object a lot. They say no, if it doesn't break, will you open it later? We built a hospital there, isn't it enough? As a guarantee, they would not send money without breaking it into pieces. Now they're going to put me in a difficult situation again. Well, let's break it.

+ Call him then, who was that, he said recently, don't beg, let me be your victim, put him in the field.

- What, were the heads of the provinces going there, did we not notify him that he would no longer engage in politics? Isn't he listening? Didn't I listen at the time too? What does that have to do with it, I love poetry.

+ How many floors does he want, will he build a skyscraper, or will he erect it right in the middle of the runway? Don't worry, it's ready, let's give it the flight tower, won't it work? He says the tower is small? What, did he like that runway?

Question Marks About Atatürk Airport:

These are on my mind for now. On the one hand, there are question marks.

Airports should be outside the city, but Ataturk airport is in the city, isn't it dangerous, how to do it?
Although the main landing direction was over Marmara, was the wind changing direction? Once, we went down by watching the Bosphorus, it seems that it happens every now and then. It is nice to land by watching the Bosphorus, but I wonder if the planes do not enter the city?
For example, should we ban flights over the city?
Is a third airport really necessary?
If Atatürk airport is open, will the planes overlap on departure? Will there be a coordination problem, how much will the landing and take-off at Istanbul airport be affected?
There will be vertical take-off and landing planes in the future, is Atatürk airport that important?
Why does it snow so much at Sabiha Gökçen and Istanbul airports in winter, but not at Atatürk airport?
It's always snowing in Russia, why isn't it a problem there? I wonder if the problem is the insufficient number of our snow removal vehicles?

Questions, questions. Everyone is already arguing, what can I say? It is best to make the decision together.

I think we were too late, we were not going to deliver the yellow ox in time, now the horse has passed Üsküdar, the tracks started to break. They'll break, they've tested us enough, they're not afraid anymore. If they say that when the ox dies, the partnership ends, when the tracks are broken, it will be forgotten over time, the fish is memory, and if they say that they will let you have a barbecue, no one will object anyway. But they need to distribute meatballs from the front. Let's say it's chicken or fish. Shall I tell him too?

What came to my mind when I was thinking about these, it would be nice if we used this place for the 19 May demonstrations, wouldn't it, if young people from all over Turkey would come to perform on the runways while the airport is closed, at least for now.

I listen to the debates in the programs, a joke comes to my mind, I won't tell you now, you know the joke of the student who didn't open the window of the bus for fear of getting a bad grade, you know. None of them can provide a logical explanation for why the tracks are broken, most of them are just cursing.

Let's Listen to Atatürk:

If Atatürk saw this lack of vision, he would be devastated. His message to our nation in the speech is striking:

"Because the character of the Turkish nation is high, the Turkish nation is hardworking, the Turkish nation is intelligent!"

Even more beautiful is its address to the youth:

"O Turkish youth! Your first duty is to preserve and defend the Turkish independence and the Turkish Republic forever.

This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is your most precious treasure. Even in the future, you will have internal and external evils who will want to deprive you of this treasure. One day, if you have to defend your independence and the republic, you will not think about the possibilities and conditions of the situation you will be in in order to take office. This possibility and circumstance can manifest in a very unfavorable manner. Enemies who will attack the independence and the republic can be the representatives of an unprecedented victory all over the world. By force and deception, all the castles of the holy homeland may have been captured, all its shipyards may have been entered, all its armies may have been dispersed, and every corner of the country may have been occupied. More grievous and worse than all these circumstances, those who have power in the country can be heedless, misguided and even treacherous. These rulers may even unite their personal interests with the political ambitions of the trustees. The nation may be devastated and exhausted by poverty.

O son of the Turkish future! Even in these circumstances, your duty is to save the Turkish independence and republic. The strength you need in the noble blood in your veins."

Let's read it well, let's keep it in our minds. He is the wisest of us, maybe listening to his word will help us these days.

Happy holiday.

Love and regards from Moscow
