Brief Ottoman - History of Türkiye

A detailed history of Turkey's "property" and power structure. From the formation of the Ottoman state and its identity to the construction process of the Republic in pursuit of "saving the state"... With a critical eye that looks back at everything we know and think we know. How does Türkiye stop being a country where people are killed "politically and out of carelessness"? Historian Kudret Emiroğlu, who looks at history not from the perspective of the state but from the perspective of "those below", analyzes an almost eternal Sultanate Culture in pursuit of the Ideal of Democracy.

"Since politics is a tactic carried out by the cadre directed towards the central power, instead of producing forms of social and class conflict and struggle, the cadre will have difficulty in fulfilling its bribery duty against the society and the collective leadership will always turn into a personality cult - the sultan - and the opponents will become traitors. Tanzimatists, Constitutionalists, Kemalists And Islamists are not the government; they see themselves not as the government, but as the cadre that seizes the power, because the people are outside the 'state politics'."
