Tell Me, Macron: Why Should The Better Be The Enemy Of The Good?
Prof. Dr. Ali SEYYAR
“Daha iyi olan, iyinin düşmanıdır.” (Le mieux est l’ennemi du bien) sözü, haddizatında aslen bankacı olan ve dolayısıyla sömürücü/faizci kapitalist sistemin temsilcisi olan Fransa Cumhurbaşkanı Emmanuel Macron’a ait değildir. Bu söz, esasında Fransız düşünür Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire (1694-1778) tarafından kullanılmıştır. Peki, Batı dünyasında atasözü hâline dönüşmüş bu ifade ne anlama geliyor? Bu atasözünün bir değil duruma veya niyete göre iki anlamı var:
As the Turkish Nation, perhaps more than any other nation in the world, we are in the first place to take pride in our nationality. We love heroism. The phrase “national unity and togetherness” has been among the most used expressions until today, especially in the first years of the Republic and after the 1980 Coup. We pride ourselves on being Turk, we are proud of being a ‘Turkish Soldier’, and we have very good reasons for this, such that we wait to see if the oppressed in any corner of the world “Did the Turks come for help?”; In other words, to be a Turk means to be “conducing towards Allah’s help”.
Armenia, with the 1992 Khojaly Massacre and subsequent conflicts, with the support of Russian motorized infantry troops, martyred more than 600 Azerbaijani descendants and occupied the Azerbaijani territory of ‘Nagorno-Karabakh'.

Written by Ersan ERGÜR

“Turkey has defeated USA for five times since 2015,” said Retired Brigadier General Adnan Tanrıverdi, the Presidency Chief Adviser. Speaking to Yeni Şafak, Tanrıverdi listed them one by one: 1- The US supported propaganda aimed at stability in the June 7 elections. With the foresight of the people, political stability was achieved after 5 months. 2- Then the pit actions started. U.S. support has caused Turkey new trouble with the PKK's self-government nonsense. Turkey solved this problem in 6 months. 3- While Turkey purged the FETO in Turkish Armed Forces, there was an attempted coup on July 15. Also, this attempt was suppressed within 20 hours. This was the 3rd defeat to USA. 4- The USA would hand over Jarabulus to the terrorist organization PKK-PYD. Turkey noticed this and brought its troops into the area and prevented it. 5- The United States moved to remove Turkey's bases in Iraq, but Turkey successfully prevented this. And this is the 5th defeat.

So, what is the big picture?
There was a different Turkey that had been allied with the United States for decades and could hardly develop any strategy without approval of USA. But now there is a different Turkey today which is no longer a passive, but a play maker country.
