How many Turkish people buy the idea of “Great Country, Great Nation”?
In the past few days, the publication of field research about the attitude of Turkish youth toward “hope” and “life” attracted the attention of scientific, political, and media circles.
In a situation where the government formed by the Justice and Development Party seeks to present Erdogan as a unique and historically powerful leader and highlight the sending of a Turkish astronaut into space as an unprecedented milestone, Professor Seljuk Shirin Turkish academic figures and famous researchers in the field of social sciences showed that, contrary to the government’s claim, Turkey is not in a good mood, and by the way, in the past few years, the youth of this country have become more desperate.
Professor Shirin published detailed statistics and figures in Oxygen newspaper and announced: We cannot move our country towards development with only epic advertisements and the use of exaggerated adjectives and expressions. Turkish academics have found out in field research that making big claims about Turkey’s regional and international role and exaggerating the role and position of this country in the global balance have no relation to reality.
