AAccording
with a study of the US government issued in the four-months publication
Insight Turkey, in the first ten-year period of the 2000 Turkey is behind
china in the BEM score, the then Big Emerging Markets that in that period
will bear economic references with the States, Japan or the European
continent weight kind.
Until
some time ago, the Kurd matter was one of the main elements concurring
to make grow the first and block the latter.
The
capture and the conviction of Ocalan, his declarations on trial contributed
to the thaw of relationships and to the will to find a solution allowing
exiting the impasse they ended into.
For
the Kurd institute placed in the ancient quarter of Aksaray, the first
forty language teachers graduated. They are the teachers for a school
that does not exist, but it's a matter of time, there'll be. Till 1991
it was prohibited speaking Kurd, then even this ban was lifted. The
Institute issues a quarterly, Zend, and schoolbooks.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Ismail Cem's, past months pronounced
on favour of the Kurd cultural rights: president Demirel was reproached,
nevertheless that's the way. There's a Kurd party, the magistracy stated
by law that a couple may give a Kurd name to one's own daughter and
it is being studied how to conceal this minority's rights with the European
standards, military source assert that violence has drastically dropped.
If
it is succeeded seeing this delicate coexistence home all the rest will
come by itself. The continuous debate about the fundamentalist risk,
for example, is more related to the European fears than to the Turkish
reality.
Crisis
in ideologies and decay of the traditional parties leaves in fact to
the Muslim radicalism the role of alternation to the system. But its
growth is more the result of the inability showed by the political forces
than its real appeal. Social and wages problems and terrorism have influenced
this forward movement, but if it is kept under control and as it seems,
they start revising the economic polity (inflation is high still, beyond
sixty per cent and unemployment on five per cent, the half in comparison
with French and Italy, a third of the Spanish "miracle"), the matter
ends being framing in a normal minority position about which nevertheless
we, the Europeans, are muddled up.
Due to the crisis and parties fragmentation, football teams recover
the lost identities. The Galatasaray roots in the Galatasaray Lisesi,
the town French High School. It represents the educated, urban and cosmopolitan
middle-upper class. The Fenerbahce is the lower middle class, nationalist
and proud of his history. At its origin there's the team that beat the
French, English and Italian occupation troupes next day the Great War
.
The Besiktas is supported by civil servants, electors and Left politicians
public. Of these teams, the first has entered triumphal in Europe and
at the stadium fundamentalism has no supporters. It does not concern
a sociological analysis, but maybe is the sign of times.
