Fact-checking
Establishing coordination and networking
Lobbying
We believe that the current political landscape of Turkey makes sense in the light of a historical-sociological perspective that can uncover the primary tensions: a polarity emerged between the center and the periphery, and both politics (state institutions) and the people have been divided based on this polarity since the beginning of the transition process from the Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Republic.
The center has been occupied by the military-bureaucratic authority and capital owners subsidized by the state, while the Sunni religious majority, Kurds, non-Muslims, Alevis and local craftsmen were alienated and abandoned in the periphery.
