Everybody might have a place to go

Suddenly, the studies related with the Resolution Process are gaining momentum in Ankara.


It is being stated that Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu will be meeting with the Wisemen committee on Sunday. Almost everyone from the government and the party is stating their support for this process, saying, “This situation should come to an end before the 2015 elections”.


The HDP delegation, which is formed of three people, is preparing for their meeting with Öcalan in İmralı on the first day of next week.


They will most likely be heading to Qandil afterwards.


The Wisemen committee is scribing down “the things that can be done” on paper and sharing it with public opinion.


When President Erdoğan said, “I had put my hand, body, life on the line. I will put up a fight until my last breath”, he had already presented the basic perspective and determination.


It’s clear that the main desire is to connect the process to a calendar with prominent dates, once and for all.


Then, when did all these happen?


These words had been said and conducted on the third day of the Bayram, when the streets had been covered in blood and fire following HDP’s “Go out to the streets, everywhere is Kobane” statement.


At the end of a week, almost everyone except HDP had made the severest criticisms on the matter.


While the corpses were being buried…


While the shops, which had been burnt down and pillaged, are just trying to get rid of the smell of fumes and hatred…


In the two law drafts, of which one of them had been dispatched to the Parliament and the other one is waiting to be dispatched, there are clauses that include new restrictor verdicts related with these incidents: the ones who caused it and the people who are involved in it.


While these new clauses, which also creates the worry of what results it will cause, are being discussed, while HDP is being objected to severest criticisms because of the decision they made, and while a stern statement and a severe response is being given regarding the incidents, an attack is being developed in the Capital City (Ankara), which will help the Resolution Process to jump up a couple of stages…


Ankara is tense and angry because the recent incidents. However, rather than showing a reflex to the incident, whose antidote is daily, Ankara is still keen on giving the essential answer by completing the Resolution Process, while searching for new legislation that might give answers to its repeat in a short time.


This is a Turkish-type practice.


This is a point of view that separates the security problem and the Resolution Process.


This mentality wants to solve the issue by focusing on the organization and timing of the incidents that occurred while being cornered this much in foreign policy, rather than focusing on the Kurds or communal demonstrations.


Not like, “Either carrot or stick”, but rather, sticks against the ones holding sticks, and flowers to the ones with flowers.


Also, both can happen at the same time; and on top of that, it’s being done openly.


Despite the party’s and Qandil’s contradicting sectional structure and their responsibilities in the recent developments in the past, the process is gathering speed once again following Öcalan and Ankara’s determined stance.


I hope these spurts that are related with the process will come through swiftly, so that we can permanently get rid of a radical problem; and while we are developing the democracy, we won’t be required to go back to the clause and legislation related to the old periods.


Do we have any other choice?


Everybody might have a place to go.


However, we don’t have anywhere else to go.


This is the point we reached and will reach, as we continue being disconnected, exiled and migrated, from Central Asia, the Balkans, the Caucasus, the Middle East and Northern Africa.


Others might have a place to go, but we really don’t have another place to go.


It’s not possible to understand “Today” without observing the history and these lands from this angle.


Ultimately, decades can only be counted as a section of this history. The Lausanne agreement, which left this troubled map to us as a legacy, was the same agreement that had reinforced our brotherhood.


We had declared to the rest of the world that we would not be separated from one another.


That statement is still valid.


Neither Turks nor Kurds nor people who define themselves in a different way, has another place to go.


This land belongs to all of us; the road towards recompensating these lands first passes through  comprehending it.
