The Republican regime has restored sovereignty to the people. However, due to inadequate democratization of the regime, the impact of people over the decisions concerning their own welfare has been minimal. The most important reason behind the bottleneck in the system is that the state has never really transferred power to the people. Despite official doubts, democratization of the regime is possible through the creation of a pluralist political structure without hampering the unitary nature of the state. However, neither individual politicians nor political parties take responsibility for realizing this outcome.
Social conflict continues because of their opportunistic and irresponsible attitudes.
We believe that the people of Turkey would have been able to solve their internal problems much more easily, had the political parties not supported political factionalism and resisted change. The people wish to live together and have the common-sense to produce practical solutions to achieve this end through mutual consensus. Quarrels, lack of understanding, insensitivity, and resistance to popular demands stem more from existing political structures and authoritarian mentality. Nevertheless, recognition of the Kurdish reality represents an achievement in itself. The Kurds have been and are one of the main elements of the Republican and the Ottoman states.
