To become a nation in Yenikapı

Since the night of July 15, Turkey has discovered that it has two potentials it never realized before. The first is that it is a nation that has the power to stand against and even repel a coup. The second is the picture of solidarity that we saw at the Yenikapı rally – a picture in which differences were erased. The identity politics that has constantly divided, isolated and polarized the society since the foundation of the Republic of Turkey has finally become meaningless. Alevis and Sunnis, Turks and Kurds, Kemalists and Conservatives, Christians and Jews, Greeks and Armenians, ethnic minorities and majorities were all present at the meeting on Sunday. Yenikapı was the common ground for people who we actually thought did not have any common ground at all. For the first time, we saw that groups that saw each other as the enemy were actually standing side by side in the colors of peace. We came across pictures that we could regard as the king of oxymorons that took us from a state of surprise to a state of happiness. We smiled. Besides this was not just a symbolized number or stance. The number of participants was not limited to 5 million people, as there were those who gathered in all the other cities of the country and those who could not come for one reason or another, but had their hearts there. The thing that united all these people from different walks of life was that FETÖ is a terrorist cult that was used as a tool by superior powers.
