Turkey is not only a politically polarized country. It consists of different ethnic and religious groups. On the other side, since 1970´s rural traditions became more and more mainstream in the big modern cities like Istanbul, due to its job opportunities and in general infrastructure. If you do not know the history of Turkey, a short reminder, from beginning of the modern Turkey, its core ideological tendencies laid on nationalism and secularism. Everyone started to be defined as Turk. In Turkish language there was no difference between Turkish (as nationality) and the ethnic group "Turks". Similarly, many religious institutions got banned due to their co-operative tendencies to Ottoman monarchy. I mentioned this just because, they are crucial to understand the main endeavour of this series. In current turkey ethos became not something that makes life eligible or better to say bearable. It became an obstacle two see each other behind our walls. But more precisely, it makes life unbearable for all the people of Turkey. Only the rich is living the life as they want. Look at the most religious seeming politicians, they send their children to Europe to study. Their children does not suffer in Turkey´s deteriorating educational system. They are not going to wars. At this very moment, the ethos should be re-created by those who suffers the most from ongoing "passive" conflicts. United Turkey has become utopia. It is because maybe we are starting from an abstract thing. Why are we not starting with thinking about our ethos first?
