Does Türkiye have a plan for 2053?
| Several think tanks affiliated with the ruling party of Turkey have presented part of the dimensions of the 2053 document and put forward ambitious goals that are not clear to what extent they can be realized. |
According to the international group Tasnim News, the year 2023 for Turkey It was an important year. Because the deadline of one of the most important upstream documents of Turkey has arrived this year.
The Justice and Development Party led by Recep Tayyip Erdogan, during the peak of glory and power in 2011, claims It was said that in the framework of the big vision called “Turkey 2023”, this country will become one of the 10 economic powers of the world. And Erdogan promised that this year, he would bring Turkey to the top and the country’s economy would become the leader of the region, but ironically, the Turkish people experienced the most difficult and bitter period of inflation and scarcity of livelihood in 2023. And in just one year, every 1 US dollar went from 17 lira to nearly 30 lira.
In plain words, most of the goals of Erdogan’s Vision 2023 and the Justice and Development Party It failed. But now, the Akparty team or the ruling party has put forward another slogan and apparently another high-level document has been drafted that has tremendous goals. They presented the year 2053 and put forward ambitious goals that are not clear to what extent they can be realized.
Erdogan said this year in his speech at the anniversary ceremony of the Justice and Development Party: We We mobilize all our facilities for regional and global peace and justice and continue to fulfill our responsibilities at the highest level. I wholeheartedly believe that we will lead Turkey in line with the vision goals of 2053 and 2071.
Two days ago, the Minister of Transport and Infrastructure of Turkey, Abdulkadir Oraloglu, announced “Now the world has faced a different Turkey. If in the past we planned for 2023, now we have such power that we can plan for 2053 and even for 2071. In the last 21 years, under the leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey, we have made many investments in our country. We have done things that serve not only the country, but also our geography and the world. Now we are witnessing a Turkey that has attracted the attention of the world. While in 2002 we had flights to only 60 destinations, today we fly from our country to 343 destinations in the world. We increased the number of our airports from 26 to 57. The number of ports in our country has increased from 152 to 197. 20/1402102014574089229175684.jpg”/>
Some of the objectives of the document 2053 announced by the Tassam think tank affiliated with the ruling party of Turkey are:
Being among the top 5 countries in human development
Being among Top 5 countries in the competitiveness index
Being among the top 5 countries in the productivity index
Being among the top 5 countries in the ranking of soft power capacity
Increasing the range of medium and high technology products to 40%
Location Among the 5 largest exporting countries in the defense and space industry
Allocation of 7% of the gross national product to the defense and space industries
Energy production and nuclear technology with domestic technology
Being among the top 10 countries in development finance, development and projectPutting energy, water and food security at the center of the multidimensional security strategy
Omer Polad, Minister of Commerce of Turkey, has also announced that finally in 2053, Turkey will have one of the 10 most powerful economies in the world. These are only part of the goals of the ambitious Turkey 2058 document, and the National Movement Party is also working on the Turkey 2071 document.
The year 2053 AD coincides with which event?
The conquest of the beautiful city of Constantinople as the most important center of power of the Byzantine Empire, one of the biggest dreams of the united Ottoman sultan Was. In 1453 AD, with a long siege of two months and digging several tunnels and canals to put gunpowder under the castle walls, he was finally able to take over this city and earned the title of “Sultan Muhammad Fatih”.
The sum of 1453 plus 600 is 2053 or the same number that Erdogan has chosen for his new document! In clear words, Turkey is supposed to move towards the realization of the goals of the document, whose expiration date will coincide with the 600th anniversary of the conquest of Istanbul.
Why the goals of 2023 were not achieved
Last year, many critics of Erdogan criticized him for not achieving the goals of the Turkey Vision 2023 document. criticized But he almost never responded to these criticisms and sometimes implicitly mentioned the reasons for Turkey’s lack of development:
1. PKK terrorist group to Turkey It hurt us and we could not achieve our full goals in the field of economy and attracting foreign capital.
2. Fethullah Gulen’s coup stopped us from moving.
3. The spread of the corona virus has affected the goals of all countries, and we are no exception.
4. Russia’s attack on Ukraine has damaged the Turkish economy.
5. Foreign conspiratorial enemies in London and elsewhere targeted our economy from afar.
Summary whenever inflation in Turkey The high and unbearable limit was reached and critics reminded Erdogan, “If he wasn’t supposed to fly according to Turkey’s 2023 document”, he gave one of the above excuses.
Turkish political and economic experts, They believe that the non-fulfillment of the goals of the 2023 vision document in Turkey is not directly related to Akparty’s excuses, and the main reason should be found in the heart of this vision itself.
They believe that the said document was compiled far from the principle of realism, and there was an exaggerated view of Turkey’s capabilities and capacities among the designers of this document. In addition, the internal problems of the Justice and Development Party and Erdoğan’s move towards totalitarianism, eliminating critics and putting aside the principle of meritocracy and party democracy have been mentioned as other reasons for not realizing the goals of the document.
A question from a 104-year-old president!
Erdogan apparently It is a clear conclusion that announcing short visions of 10-12 years is not a visionary work! Before you want to turn your hat, 10 years have passed and the goals that you talked about in hundreds of speeches and conferences have been lost. set it so far that even if it fails, you can blame it on future generations! Because Erdogan is finally the president of Turkey until 2028, and he is not going to take responsibility for the historical periods after the end of his power!
In 2058, if Erdogan is alive, he will be an old man He will be 104 years old, and his partner Dolat Baghçeli, the leader of the extreme right party of the nationalist movement, if he survives until then, on the 600th anniversary of the conquest of Istanbul, he will be an old man of 110 years old, and no one expects them to be responsible for the failure to achieve the goals of Sindh!
Of course, in addition to the 2028 document, there have also been talks about the 2071 document. The year 2071 coincides with the 1,000th year of the victory of the Turks in the Battle of Melazgerd, and Turkish nationalists believe that Turkey will be a very powerful country in the world at that time.
In addition to the philosophical importance of the issue called “uncertainty”, there are other important factors, perhaps one of the most important of which is the frequent droughts and climate changes that have affected Turkey and caused this country that lacks fuel resources. And energy, in the long term, will be faced with stable inflation and its consequences.
