Half of Turkey believes in the invulnerability of the so called 'Father of the Turks' and the other half in that of the 'New Father of the Turks'. Each half hates the other with a passion. Both "religions" are laughable to anyone with western logic and reason capacities.
Now, the other third of the country
are Kurds, forced to be called Turks, "forced" to adopt Turkish names and forced to speak Turkish. This third is trying to reason with a majority, the 50+50, a majority molded in militaristic fascism and religious conservatism respectively. Fat chance of them succeeding.
The real concern however is that the third won't take it any more. It will be interesting as the third speaks Turkish too, lives in Turkish cities including Ankara and Istanbul & has had just about enough! If the third decides to become an enemy in the open, how would you tell apart the third from the two 50s?
