Otrzymałem przed chwilą maila z Antalyi od znajomego marinero. Miło wspominam moje żeglowanie w Turcji. Przeczytałem tego maila i jakoś nie mogłem pozostać obojętny. Źle bym się czuł gdybym wywalił go do kosza.
Poważnie wątpię w to, że sprzedajemy gaz łzawiący i armatki wodne do Turcji, ale chyba nie tylko o ten apel chodzi. Hasan chce nam powiedzieć, co się tam dzieje i zależy mu na tym, żeby te wieści rozpowszechniać.

Treść maila wklejam poniżej (Google tłumacz daje radę).
Napiszę mu kilka słów pocieszenia i wyślę linka do forum.

Dear Marek,

This time I don’t have good news from Turkey. Probably you receive the news from your TV’s what is happening in Turkey over the past few days starting from 27th May 2013.

The first article attached was written few days ago by a friend of mine who is a Turkish sailor and her friend is from New Zealand. The second and third articles explain that the situation in Turkey is becoming more difficult for the Turkish people if they don’t agree or accept the Turkish government decisions on every subject to reorganize their personal lives.

The Recep Tayyip Erdoğan government has received 50% of the votes at the latest election in 2011 and according to the system; they have received 326 members in parliament, which is 60% of the total of 550 members.

The government is one person only, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and it is believed that he is personally ;
· against secularism and he is trying to establish the Muslim religious rules and orders to reorganize people’s life in Turkey. To limit the alcohol is one of the significant attempts.
· against secular education system; the number of the religious schools has increased lot during the last 10 years,
· against the Syrian President not because the Syrian President is a Dictator but he is from a different sect of the Muslim Religion. Probably you know something about Sunni – Shia division
· against the old business groups and he has created his own Muslim businessman’s organization. Now the new Muslim Businessman’s organization has the full support of the government and the state which is more corrupt.
· against the free media; all the major TV & newspaper groups are under his control and they can’t give the correct information to the people in Turkey about what is happening in our country or to the rest of the world. The situation for the media is very similar or even worse to what is happening in Russia. Depending on the latest reports of the world media centre, Turkey is the second country in the world after China to have many news reporters and writers in the prison because of their articles.

Turkish Parliament is not a decision making place any more. If the Prime minister asks them to vote they do, or if the prime minister asks them not to vote, they don’t. They are all figure heads and the oppositions have no rights in parliament as they can vote but always lose and because of their small numbers they are always defeated.

The majority of the Turkish people, 70% are against the politics in Syria. We don’t want to be involved with the interior problems of Syria. We believe that they will find their own way, and they should decide for themselves what is better for them in Syria. As the Turkish Military General and, Admirals are also against Tayyip Erdoğan politics in Syria, 30% of the Generals and Admirals are accused of organizing an up-rising against the Turkish Government and they all have been sent to prison. Most of them have been in prison for more than 2 years and the court couldn’t finalized the case as there are 1,2 million documents to be inspected.

Why I am writing this e –mail to you, to my friends around the world.
1. Please contact your local government or your local parliament members,
2. Explain what is happening in Turkey,
3. Ask them to stop selling “tear gas” and “water cannon trucks” to Turkey
4. Ask them to build a commission to investigate what is happening in Turkey
5. Ask them if Turkey became a Religious ruled country like Iran, would it be better for the rest of the world.
6. Forward this message to your friends around the world

Today is the 19th day of the demonstrations. This is not a revolution or uprising but a protest of the Turkish people who are not sharing the Prime Ministers personal ideas. Up to now, 4 people lost their lives in total 3 people were killed because of the police violence and 1 police died as he was fallen from the bridge by mistake while they were chasing the protestors. 12 young people lost one eye because of the plastic bullets and tear gas cartridges and more than 7,500 people injured of whom 100 and over are in intensive care. Now the Prime Minister gave the order to the security forces to arrest the medical people, doctors & nurses, who are treating the wounded people during the demonstration in 78 different cities in Turkey. More than 600 people in total are arrested temporarily from the day one. The police started also arresting people if they send messages to each other by e-mail or twits to protest the government policy for Taksim Square. It might be very difficult for you to believe all this is happening in Turkey right now but all is true.

I would have liked to tell you that Turkey is as beautiful as before and as peaceful as before, but unfortunately it is not today.

With my best wishes,

Hasan Kaçmaz, Antalya, Turkey
