In a recent declaration, Turkish nationalists identified what they described as the 'six arrows' of the country's proper identity: nationalism, secularism, statism, republicanism, populism and revolutionism.
To find a way forward, we need to retrieve and develop ideas from the conservative revolutionism of the Founding Fathers, who were aware that true democracy and freedom are hard to achieve, even harder to safeguard, and that preserving them from the normal abuses of power as well as from "the impostures of pretended patriotism" would be a task for the generations.
Consequently, the article stating that "the established religion of Turkey is Islam" was removed from the constitution and the principles of secularism and revolutionism was added.
