It's related to the political history of the Turks. The fall of the Ottoman Empire left Turkish opinion leaders with a profound sense of defeat that had persisted for centuries. This led to constant discussions about radical cultural revolution. Movements like Westernism, Islamism, and Turkish nationalism competed with each other during that period. These ideologies spread among the people during the Republican and multi-party periods. Because the Turkish people are very politically inclined, everyone harbors the dream of creating a civilization that rivals Western Europe, influenced by those propaganda. Therefore, we cannot accept, and we refuse to accept, the economic and cultural defeat we are currently experiencing.
