Thank you for the linked post.

I'm glad to see you have hope for a positive change. Can you reconcile that with the purges in the Turkish education system after the 2016 coup?

I'd love any reason to be optimistic here.



Removing Gulen and the like from the education system was long overdue, as they are a political org with an agenda, butbthe purges went too extreme. I have heard stories where people cant find decent jobs because the read at a Gulen lycee, albeit unknowingly. Another which worked at one for one month as a teacher and didnt have any ties to the org itself, but still cant find a job because of that. We say in turkish: the wet was burnt because of the dry. A proper law-bound state would clear the innocent ones in a snap.

Muharrem Ince promises to execute every change necessary for such a state and to revitalise all the institutions. I believe him. I want to believe him. And I believe he will be elected. There is no other way out. Basically this is the most important election ever in the history of the Turkish Republic.
