İSTANBUL-AKP founding member Fatma Bostan Ünsal pointed that there is decay in Turkey in terms of political, social and systemic and said that the solution of this can be a democratic collaboration that provides keeping all liberal powers and differences together.

Fatma, who is known with her criticisms towards government policies and dismissing from her duty by declared statutory decrees while she was academician in Muş Alparslan University, emphasized that the solution is to collaborate and evaluated as ‘decayedness’ what happened in Turkey.
‘A new lawlessness system has been organized’
Saying that AKP has came into power saying “we will lift the tutelage system” in a term that effect of military and judicial bureaucracy felt severely, Fatma said “the fact that balance and surveillance system, which prevents power concentration after the lifting tutelage, generally doesn’t exist in this region, led to major problems,” and added “The tutelage system was lifted but problems haven’t finished yet because there is no balance and surveillance system in Turkey. A new lawlessness system has been organized.”
‘Distrustfulness has been deepen among people’
Fatma also talked about “denunciation” suggestions that are often emphasized on squares by AKP General President Tayyip Erdoğan and ministers of AKP after July 15 coup attempt. Fatma stated “People have started to denunciate each other just because they don’t like each other. Distrustfulness started among people and the state did the opposite instead of taking confidence-building measures.”
‘Nuriye and Semih became mirror’
Adressing to dissmissing by statutory decrees, Fatma said “People dismissed from duties have been also condemned to social death. Semih and Nuriye has became mirrior for all of us. The stance of Nuriye and Semih hold mirror what major of people live.”

Saying that big problems also create opportunities for solution, Fatma stated that latest news in Syria will stimulate to create a new solution table in Turkey. “This can happen in the long run, things called 'red lines' can sometimes be abandoned. I think that a new solution table will be create in the long run in Turkey because the only way everyone can win is peace.”
