History is Not Written in Capital Letters

History many times becomes a narrative of the past that the government shapes according to its own needs. As power and the powerful change, they also change the past. Each new generation is faced with an atlas of the past prepared for itself under the influence of this cyclical political atmosphere. In a sense, accepting what has not happened as if it has happened; This is the indispensable condition of the pendulum. Historical reality is breaking; but that doesn't matter; Because the important thing is not history; nor is it trying to know what really happened in the past; The only thing that matters is to create material that can somehow meet the political, ideological and even psychological needs of the day!
