Will Turkey Normalize After the Elections?

Everyone is living a life of their own. No one is aware of anyone else's situation, and at the same time, no one cares about the other's situation.

Can you imagine, right now, as you are reading this article, part of the world is in darkness and part is in light.

In one part of the world, winter is in its apocalypse, while in another part the sun is burning from above.

In one part, night has turned into day and there is hardly any daylight, while in another part there is very little darkness.

At one end, storms are raging, while at the other, not a leaf is moving. It's calm.

Maybe there's a fire somewhere, and the heat and smoke are so thick that maybe someone is having trouble breathing.

Somewhere else there may be someone in a pleasant atmosphere, sipping champagne.

Somewhere there may be someone praying for a sip of water.

Somewhere else, there may be someone at a spring, drinking from a fountain.

Somewhere someone is probably in deep sleep, somewhere someone is probably sweating in the middle of the day to earn a living.

Somewhere someone may be having a wedding, but someone else is mourning in a funeral home.

You can probably understand what I mean, so many people, all in different environments, all busy with different things, all with different emotions. It is as if their hearts are beating in a different tone. 

Most of us don't know what the other is feeling right now, maybe we don't even care. 

After all, we are all living our own lives in our own world.

I would like to say that the opposition leader of a country is saying his will on the podium. Some don't even understand what he is saying. Even if they understand, maybe they don't care. And some are horrified.

Yes, I am talking about the opposition leader of our country. 

In his speech from the rostrum today, Mr. Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu responded in his own way to the paramilitary organization that said he scored a goal by giving an advertisement during a television interview, but at the same time, if you paid attention, he announced his will. Because he actually said that his life was in danger.

Maybe there are some of you who think, "Oh, he is just playing politics. There may be people who think like that. 

I don't know how much you are aware of the seriousness of this situation, after all, as I said, everyone lives their own life. 

No one is aware of the situation of anyone else, and on the other hand, no one cares about the situation of anyone else. 

I think this situation is grave enough.

But when it comes to the main opposition leader's statement that my life is in danger, I think this is a very serious statement.

So I think it should be taken seriously by everybody. 

We have elections ahead of us. As I said before, this is not going to be easy. 

The security of the elections is very important!

Even if the elections are won, it will not be easy to correct this mentality of polarization that has permeated this country for so many years. 

Moreover, it is not easy to overcome such a huge commonality of interests. This applies both to those who pretend to be pro-government and those who pose as the opposition.

I am not sure how prepared the opposition is for this post-election situation. 

Because as I have written before, this is the character of some people. No matter what you do, they will not improve. They always think about their interests. That's why they always lean towards power. And then they take power for themselves.

Still, I don't want to lose hope that this country will never get better.

I hope that our country will start to normalize rapidly after the elections and that the country will concentrate on what needs to be done to prepare a good future for the young generations as it should. 

There is a lot of work to do. First and foremost, we need to unite this society, we need to find a way for everyone to have the same heartbeat for a common cause.

What can I say, let's hope for the best. I hope we will get rid of this polarization soon.

Love and respect to everyone from Moscow
