Why are the poems of Hunkar Vektash Veli, Pir Sultan Abdal, Shah Ismail, Seyyid Nesimi, and tens of leaders and masters of the Alevi people, in Turkish?
The republic has given us the right to say openly that we are Alevis. It would be blindness to attribute the tricks of political masters to the 80-year-old republic.
Alevis do not bow to oppression due to their characters. They won't take up arms and go up the hills, either. They look for all their rights in the political and legal arenas.
