Türkiye’s ruling party in the throes of inefficiency and decline – the final part

The heavy defeat of the Turkish ruling party led by Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the recent elections, many analysts seek to understand the reasons for the decline of this party. Because the Justice and Development Party or Akparty has been in power for 22 years undisputedly and as a single bowl and has always been the first-rate party. But this year, this category was given to the 101-year-old and old party J. e. The People’s Republic Party gave way and now Erdogan’s party is the second party in Turkey.

Professor Yasin Aktai, one of Erdoğan’s former advisors, who is known as a sociologist and brotherhood politician, is of Arab descent and plays an important role in strengthening the relations of the Middle East brotherhoods with Erdogan’s team.

He, who still writes in Yeni Shafaq newspaper, in the first part of this report, revealed that the decrease in the votes of the Justice and Development Party is much more than a normal defeat, and Erdogan himself He also considered it a loss of blood and life.

He also announced that the Justice and Development Party, at the beginning of its journey, came to the field in order to fight Kemalist and secular discourse, but now that It has tasted defeat, entered through the door of compromise with them and fell short of its ideals. According to Aktay, the Justice and Development Party needs a shake-up and intellectual and political revision, but it still does not see any signs. which shows the determination of the Akparty leaders to step on the path of change.

Now we will review the final part of Aktai’s note together.A wall in the city, a wall in the party
As Erdogan himself declared as the leader and founder of the Justice and Development Party: “There is no more dangerous enemy for a party that comes from the hearts of the people.” Erdoğan is right, and in all cities, the officials of the Justice and Development Party, instead of being with the people, are practically on the same floor. They have been converted and walled. But the problem is only here? no They have created other walls and fences inside the party, and between the body, middle managers, senior managers and party leaders, again fence within fence, they are all separated and lack unity and cohesion.

In fact, these walls have been built not only between citizens but also between the cadres of the Justice and Development Party. It is a point that almost everyone agrees on, that in the early days, managerial professionalism and specialized technocracy prevailed for the benefit of the people. /newsmedia.tasnimnews.com/Tasnim/Uploaded/Image/1403/02/23/1403022310511398830021434.jpg”/>
The current condition of the Justice and Development Party is that there is no tradition and procedure based on honesty and passion for redefining The mission of the Justice and Development Party in each period, the reproduction of the party’s goals and its transmission to new generations, has not remained. and offer his experiences and advice to him. Now, the first thing that every person in AKP does is to settle scores with his predecessors in the position he inherits instead of handing over the flag of honor to the next person!

He who takes the flag acts as if he has won the war against the rival party! This situation can cause people who have served in the party for a while, after completing their duties and handing over their posts, to move away from the party or even oppose the party. This is one of the most obvious examples and consequences of moving away from the party spirit.

Institutional measures should be taken to restore healthy relations, the spirit of cooperation and companionship in the Justice and Development Party, to revive the original spirit of this important Turkish party. to be One should feel that being a member of the party is more than a normal professional job.

The staffing should be based on the party spirit and ideal. If not, a simple technocrat or an expert who has no ideals, convictions and spirit cannot fulfill this mission.

I don’t mean that finding suitable cadres for the Justice and Development Party is like looking for dervishes and good and pious disciples for a monastery. no But finally, the Justice and Development Party has beliefs and opinions. A person who does not care for Palestine, is not eager for Islamic unity, does not take steps to free Turkey from intellectual and cultural occupation, can be a member of any other party, but cannot be a good and suitable cadre for the Justice and Development Party.

When their official duties in the party they have served for a long time ends, their ties are severed, and this means that any change of position is seen as the loss of an old cadre!

So that handing over the post and responsibility does not mean saying goodbye to the mission and ideals of the party, ways should be considered to evaluate them as a source of experience accumulation and keep them active in the field.

The first way that comes to mind might be “super advisory boards” made up of former provincial presidents and managers whose advisory function is guaranteed and will be considered in decision-making processes. Of course, the essence of the story begins with defining the party not as a center for sharing opportunities and limited blessings, but as a center of friendship and common ideal.

Party officials and advisory committees are now asking each other this question. They ask: How can the loss of blood and soul in the Justice and Development Party be compensated? As long as the Justice and Development Party does not conduct this questioning in a healthy way, does not make the correct diagnoses, and does not courageously propose appropriate treatments, the fate is that the Justice and Development Party will melt like ice in front of the sun.

The fact is that Akparty has made a white revolution in Turkey in the last 22 years and with all its victories and mistakes, it has done great things. has done in this country. It therefore matters whether the party should rise again and rebuild itself, or bleed to death as its four-eyed enemies await.

In my opinion, the Justice and Development Party needs rethinking, reflection and reconstruction more than ever, and maybe it is better to use knowledgeable advisors from outside the party in addition to internal wisdom.

They should not behave in such a way that As if they only have a position and worldly wealth and are only looking for material benefits. This is exactly the reason why there is no memory, accumulation of experience and continuity of the mission during the 23-year life of the party.

The biggest competitor and goal of a person who takes over a ministry is to challenge the performance of the previous minister. This is despite the fact that the previous minister was from his own party, that is, from the Justice and Development Party and not from any other party!

The same is true for the representatives, and as soon as they reach the parliament, they meet with the officials of the provincial branch. They get involved. Of course, there are many other issues. May God purify our intentions and words, we will continue.

In the end, I have to say, those who can take on the mission and mission of the Justice and Development Party and continue who, above all, are eager for knowledge and They know that getting a post in this party means wearing a fire shirt and not welcoming a bird that sits on their shoulder and brings power and wealth.
