If this map is really within Istanbul's subway station it means that irredentism disease has spread to Turkey. The map is an altered version of "Misak-i Milli" (national oath) and named "Ahd-i Milli" since these new altered concepts look fancier and became quite popular. This is different from claiming disputed islands and territorial water disputes with a neighbouring country and similar what we always see in "Greater Armenia", "Greater Georgia", "Greater Iran" irredentism, which Turkey never had it due to Ataturk's "Peace at home, peace in the world" concept that has been the main pillar of Turkish foreign policy, blocking path to revisionism. Now it is, together with many things, have been revoked. Nothing lasts forever and no concept is holy, but let's see what are the dangers and gains? -Looking from a logical and strategical view, adding all these areas in an imaginary scenario will make ethnic Turkish population below %50, while the contemporary mindset of specific groups aiming this map also won't allow any kind of a decentralized system that would allow autonomy and self rule to ethnic Adjars, Arabs, Greeks, Kurds and Assyrians in the new lands. Naturally all these population will resist in armed way, supported by their kins and other countries. - As nearly everyone that wants such "new lands" have never seen those areas in Iraq or Syria. Those areas need HUGE investment, and it is impossible to do it with contemporary Turkish economy. If that will be the aim, original Turkish cities will be neglected and will have massive lack of infrastructure. If not, the new areas will rebel again due to the neglect, while their huge expectations will turn into huge disappointments. Education opportunities to "cement a national(!) identity" will push to make thousands of new schools and teachers added, infrastructure costs will be impossible to be paid, military will be over stretched, law enfocement will never be enough in numbers. - Most of the local population in those lands do not want a Turkish rule. The image of Ottomans have never been positive and is accused still for their situation today, with lots of bitter stories told among population. Adjara was different in 90s and could be a part of Turkey with plebicite, but ethnic identification today is Georgianized and it is too late. Turks in Western Thrace can be exception and minor areas like Tal Afar, Azzaz, Tuzkhurmatu, Jabal Turkman etc. Ottoman experience failed and revisionists have absolutely no doctrine or strategy to make this possible "Greater Turkey" to work. - Strategically it will be a nightmare; westwards of Drama is open and have no geographical barriers in Greece, Syrian deserts are extremely challenging and impossible to have a clear control with ISIS and possible insurgencies, north of Baghdad towards Zakho is full flatlands and same applies. - Soil is not fertile, educating dozens of million citizens is impossible, keeping a centralized and unitary state is impossible, nearly nobody wants to be rules by "Turks", strategically nightmare to defend, and the only gain is the oil and gas, which will never be enough to develop this "new Turkey" - Leave aside all these, any random Turk that idealize Kirkuk will never spend more than a day there and never move there. The city is in horrible condition and even the most neglected townz in Turkey offer a much, much high quality of life. Deir ez Zor, Raqqa are even worse. Even relatively developed cities like Erbil will never be an attractive areas for the new, revisionist Turks until they are pad big salaries. - Allowing such maps will remove all excuses to oppose Greeks, Armenians, Arabs, Kurds, Persians, Georgians, or even Bulgarians similar maps that will take place in public areas. Turkey and Turks complain and criticise maps that claim lands from Turkey, but such maps will remove all excuses to complain.

Ahmet İnsel (@ahmet__insel), @goksugoksel'e konuştu: "'Bu iştene hiçbir şey olmaz' demek, aslında Kürt sorununun çözümünü istememek demektir. Demokratların, solun, sosyalistlerin, sosyal demokratların, eğer kendileriyle tutarlıysalar böyle bir tavır alma ihtimali yoktur diye düşünüyorum. Sorunların, ihtimallerin, endişelerini dile getirilmesi bir demokratik tartışma zemininin var olduğunun işaretidir. Yoksa bir taraf emir vermiş, bir örgütün lideri bir otokratla oturmuş, bir pazarlık yapmışlar, ondan sonra o pazarlığın sonuçlarını ne olursa olsun herkesin kabul etmesini beklemek, o otokratik rejimin özelliği zaten. Dolayısıyla otokratik rejime karşı çıkıyorsak, otokratik yöntemlerle yapılan işlemleri de şüpheyle, endişeyle, eleştirel olarak yaklaşmamak elbette zannediyorum doğaldır" ➡️youtu.be/_Nuf-dlhcs0
