HÃ¼nkar BektaÅŸ Veli'nin, Pir Sultan Abdal'Ä±n, Åžah Ä°smail'in, Seyyid Nesimi'nin ve onlarca Alevi halk Ã¶nderi ve pirlerinin ÅŸiirleri neden TÃ¼rkÃ§e?

Cumhuriyet bizlere Alevi olduÄŸumuzu aÃ§Ä±kÃ§a sÃ¶yleme hakkÄ± tanÄ±dÄ±. Siyaset erbabÄ±nÄ±n tÃ¼rlÃ¼ oyunlarÄ±nÄ± 80 yÄ±llÄ±k Cumhuriyet'e yamamak amalÄ±k olur.

Aleviler baskÄ±lara boyun eÄŸmez yapÄ±sÄ± gereÄŸi. Silah alÄ±p daÄŸa da Ã§Ä±kmazlar. Her tÃ¼rlÃ¼ haklarÄ±nÄ± siyasal ve hukuksal zeminde ararlar.

Title	Why are the poems of Hunka Bektash Veli, Pis Sultan Abdal
Translation English Translated by ToprakA	Target language: English 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.
Remarks about the translation	I did not translate the honorifics except for "shah". "Alevi" is sometimes spelled as "Alewite" but some scholars do not agree that they are the same. Instead of "in the political and legal arenas" you could say "on the political and legal platform". "legal" can be "judicial". Ahmet Toprak

	ToprakA จำนวนข้อความ: 36	Good catch! The last one should be "in". With a long sentence like that I lost track of my grammar. Or maybe "why the poems of Hunkar Vektash Veli, Pir Sultan Abdal, Shah Ismail, Seyyid Nesimi, and tens of leaders and masters of the Alevi people are in Turkish?"
