The Silent Power Shifting Global Geopolitics: Neodymium and Turkey’s Strategic Horizon
In the 20th century, global supremacy and economic dominance were dictated by crude oil. Nations fought wars, redrew maps, and forged historical alliances to maintain control over massive oil reserves. However, the paradigm is shifting rapidly. Today, the world is undergoing a massive transformation driven by green energy transitions and...

TRT Former Announcer Sırrı Er: “Society Has Lost Faith in the Future”
TRT Former Announcer Sırrı Er: “Society Has Lost Faith in the Future”
“Falsehood” and “Nullity”… These two words are enough to describe the situation into which Türkiye has been dragged today. Falsehood… A departure from truth. Nullity… Invalidity. The erosion of legitimacy. Politics in Türkiye is advancing precisely within this fracture. Politics in this country has increasingly become not a field for...

TRT Former Announcer Sırrı Er: “The Price of Silence is Heavy!”
I do not understand those who act as if lawlessness is being experienced for the first time. Moreover, I watch with astonishment as those who applauded what happened yesterday now engage in narratives of victimhood. A person should have at least some sense of shame… Some honor, some conscience, some...

20th-21st Term Kırıkkale Member of Parliament Kemal Albayrak: “Crises Make People Search For A ‘Door'”
CRISES MAKE PEOPLE SEARCH FOR A “DOOR” Morality does not expect applause. Morality is the way of behaving exhibited in the face of the facts that life presents to human beings. Civilization, on the other hand, is the morality of living together. The principles of living together are the division...

Former Member of Parliament for Kırıkkale (20th–21st Term) Kemal Albayrak: “Peace and Security Cannot Exist Without Justice”
When politics is polluted by corrupt politicians, their excuses are always the same: the deep state wants it, national survival is at stake, foreign powers are involved, the danger is great, there will be chaos if we leave, there are enemies everywhere. We are tired of these tactics used by...

Former TRT Presenter Sırrı Er Criticizes “A Broken System”: “The Country Keeps Losing Time in the Same Debates”
I want to talk not about a political party, a leader, or a particular group, but about a system that has been repeating itself for years. This country has been experiencing the same debates, polarization, and disappointments for decades. The cost of living continues to rise. Trust in justice is...

TRT Former Announcer Sırrı Er: What is the Virtue and Balance Between Excess and Deficiency?
The Golden Mean is the desirable balance between excess and deficiency. I know that what I say often finds little response. Because people usually hear what they want to hear, not the truth. Yet, as Fuzûlî famously said: “If I speak, it has no effect; if I remain silent, my...

The Message from the Supreme Election Council: Who Has the Final Word in a State Governed by Law?
The Message from the Supreme Election Council: Who Has the Final Word in a State Governed by Law?
Electoral law and institutional jurisdictional boundaries are the foundation of the constitutional order, moving beyond mere politics. The YSK’s rejection of the "certificate of election cancellation" request is not just a convention debate; it is a critical message for protecting the will manifested at the ballot box and the legal...

Former Kırıkkale MP for the 20th and 21st Terms, Kemal Albayrak: “These Claims Have Lost Their Credibility”
Status doesn’t matter; if you are an instrument of corruption, you cannot be free. Those who are slaves to exploitation and devoid of moral principles are no different. The FETÖ issue seems to be such a scheme that it elevates some people while bringing others down. We need to look...

20th – 21st Term Kırıkkale Member of Parliament Kemal Albayrak: “Will you cry or laugh?”
SHOULD YOU LAUGH OR CRY? Journalist N. Başaran stated that investigations would be launched against Özgür Özel and several members of parliament. We will see in time. Because conformity with the regime’s system is expected. There is also talk that Özgür Özel may face a FETÖ-related investigation over financial matters....
