Selahattin Demirtaş, lawyer by formation, was involved in the politics from the young ages within the Kurdish -I would describe as a self-discovery- movement. This movement was involving many generations of having different experiences in the face of a solid resistance to their recognition as a society with constant ethnic traits forming their cultural bonds (or Völkerdaseins) such as language.
This search for an identity under difficult circumstances makes it a difficult subject to understand in the context of the Turkish politics and history. Yet even observation is difficult because it involves historically a self-claimed political party with a military organ holding terrorist attacks towards Turkish Republic being taken as responsible for the suppression of the Kurds in search of an identity, broadly.
Turkish Republic unfortunately took apparent measures about its Kurdish subjects to prevent threats to its security however we should here especially take our attention on a fundamental question about democracy: Without having a maintained relation, in the broadest meaning, with the State, or the administrative body: can a group of peoples democratic status be preserved? (Which makes me think of the election of political bodies as a form of participatory democracy is not only a beginning but a consequence of a peaceful political settlement, an acquisition by a successful political integration)
Its further consequences can be traced in furious yelling and disputes from both sides.
Fear is common, in this case: and even the context of it. And this fear is, unfortunately, subject to, in a pervasive manner, to the usual citizens. Dialogue, diplomacy could be maintained more peacefully if ever the concerns could be able to induced to a specific representation, but the masses are involved.
"Der Untergang des Abendlandes, zunächst ein örtlich und zeitlich beschränktes Phänomen wie das ihm entsprechende des Unterganges der Antike, ist, wie man sieht, ein philosophisches Thema, das, in seiner ganzen Schwere begriffen, alle großen Fragen des Seins in sich schließt.
Will man erfahren, in welcher Gestalt das Erlöschen der abendländischen Kultur vor sich geht, so muß man zuvor erkannt haben, was Kultur ist, in welchem Verhältnis sie zur sichtbaren Geschichte, zum Leben, zur Seele, zur Natur, zum Geiste steht, unter welchen Formen sie in Erscheinung tritt und inwiefern diese Formen — Völker, Sprachen und Epochen, Schlachten und Ideen, Staaten und Götter, Künste und Kunstwerke, Wissenschaften, Rechte, Wirtschaftsformen und Weltanschauungen, große Menschen und große Ereignisse — Symbole und als solche zu deuten sind."
Spengler: 1920
Societies, civilizations, people are joyful, rich, enchanting. Yet, it also makes it gigantic in movements, attitudes, quests and responses.
Fear had important impacts on political processes, which is important to be discussed within the political science maybe especially in this time of the populists where passion as a form of discourse by consultative means highly employed.
HDP with a wide-range of politicians has proposed a modern and contemporary "minority politics" enjoyed by the concentration of democratic demands in the Gezi event, which was historical because along with the public supporters the "Minority" concept in Turkey has been rediscovered without assumptions of being bonded to ethnicity, whereas the relation of ethnicity and minority is better to be handled with different legal notions other than political.
In the case of Demirtaş, this should be a problem of representation among various predicaments related to the history, civilization, culture, etc., I consider.
