FİRST POWERFUL CENTURY OF THE REPUBLIC 1923 - 2O23

We have something to say "About Our Republic". This book in your hand, which consists of "republican love",
It is not a classical study of history, and not an academic work at all.
Just a series of Republic chats...
A look at our country, our state, ourselves and the last century of our recent history...
Each and every one of our meetings with George Hodja at various times and places over the years was filled with delicious conversations about history, culture, literature, city and life.
This time, I had the chance to listen to our Republic, its founder, the great Atatürk, and the adventure of our state so far, from our wise historian who made us love the Ottoman Empire with his books. This was also the story of our country's most difficult adventure, which was shaped around a difficult geography and interacted with world history. I asked curiously, and he patiently explained. Sometimes we talked about "we Turks" during a long dinner in Istanbul, sometimes on a trip to Urfa, Mardin, sometimes during weekend meetings or visits to the palace...
Yes, indeed it was... History was actually one that continued to live with us right next to us with its glorious, destructive and burning aspects. But neither an idealized Ottoman history narrative nor an idealized Republic reading could fill these historical gaps. The loss of consciousness caused by historical rejections that are isolated, cut off from each other or accusing each other unfortunately only aggravated our alienation.
