Implemented by the Association of Journalists and financed by the European Union the Media for Democracy\/ Democracy for Media Programme (M4D) hosted former Member of Parliament and former chairman of the Foreign Affairs Commission for the Grand National Assembly Mehmet D\u00fclger in the Press House. D\u00fclger who made a presentation called \u201cDemirel, Democracy and Press Perceptions\u201d talked about his memories of the late S\u00fcleyman Demirel and his many qualities that are not widely known by the public.<\/p>\n

M4D Programme Assistant Director Seva \u00dclmen made the opening speech with these remarks: \u201cThe Media for Democracy\/Democracy for Media Programme would like to welcome Mr. Mehmet D\u00fclger, who served as a member of parliament and was chairman for the Foreign Affairs Commission\u2026<\/p>\n

The main goal of the M4D programme is to strengthen pluralism in the media and freedom of the press as a safeguard for democracy. In this context, I would like to take this chance to remind you we offer various supports for individuals and organizations involved in the press. I would strongly suggest you take a look at our website for more information about these supports. We are doing our best to hold talks and trainings in our Press House for the benefit of our young journalist friends and colleagues.<\/p>\n

When preparing today\u2019s event, we wanted to show you the unknown sides of S\u00fcleyman Demirel, who has had a very important place in the last 50 years of Turkish politics, he as served in many positions ranging from being Prime Minister to President, and we of course want to talk about his approach to the media. We thought \u201cwho would be better than Mehmet D\u00fclger?\u201d who was once described as \u201cDemirel\u2019s successor\u201d to hold this talk, so we kindly invited him to our event. We would also like to thank executive board member of the Association of Journalists Nursun Erel for making this possible today.<\/p>\n

\"\"Nursun Erel who took the floor after \u00dclman talked about when she first met D\u00fclger in the first years of her journalism career: \u201cI met Mr. D\u00fclger during the first years of my career. We actually sat next to each other flying to Izmir with Turgut \u00d6zal. Throughout the years we\u2019ve always had a very amicable relationship with Mr. D\u00fclger. He has been one of the most important politicians and bureaucrats who has sympathized with journalists, this is something I\u2019d like to remind all of you. I would also like to remind you that through his later father Bahad\u0131r and late mother Aliye, D\u00fclger has shares in the Anatolian Agency\u2026 Before handing the floor to Mr. D\u00fclger I would like to thank my dear colleague \u0130lhan Kuyucu. He was kind enough to share his 55-year collection of Demirel\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

D\u00fclger \u201cDemirel would make the impossible happen if it made reconciliation possible\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Mr. D\u00fclger referred to former President and politician S\u00fcleyman Demirel as \u201cone of the biggest symbols of democracy\u201d. D\u00fclger commented that he worked with S\u00fcleyman Demirel closely for years, but of course there were points they didn\u2019t see eye-to-eye. He added:<\/p>\n

\u201cDemirel, at least in my opinion, was naturally polite. Politeness is like a jacket; you wear it when you need to, then you take it off. He wasn\u2019t like that; he was genuinely a very polite person. I had the first-hand opportunity to witness this many times. He was of course very smart, witty and hardworking. He had an amazing memory; he would amaze you with how much information he could retain. He was also very quick to grasp things and he was very respectful. Demirel was very patient and tolerant. His patience was legendary, he would invite the people around him to be calm as well. He was a very determined man, if he believed in something he would follow through it until the end. He was quite stubborn and faithful, too. Demirel was a very patient man, you could say almost anything in his presence that most people would find hard to swallow, provided that you showed decorum. I would like to especially underline that Demirel was an accommodationist. I will never forget him saying \u201cI would make the impossible happen if it made reconciliation possible\u201d. I believe this is one of the most important aspects of a democracy. Demirel was not only committed to democracy institutionally but he was committed to it intellectually as well.<\/p>\n

Demirel used to say \u201cMy greatest fear is that the country will one day be run by a demagogue\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

D\u00fclger mentioned that one of the strongest attributes of Demirel was how articulate he was; D\u00fclger quoted Demirel \u201cMy greatest fear is that the country will one day be run by a demagogue\u201d. D\u00fclger added \u201cI recall this quote a lot these days. Demirel was a good leader, very calculated in his actions. He was a master of simplifying complex issues, for example the issue of determining minimum prices\u2026 When questioned about how to determine tobacco prices in the Aegean region he responded \u201cA kilo of tobacco should amount to a kilo of halva\u201d, I had never heard of measuring units this way. He was excellent in his correspondence to demand. This is one of the reasons why tobacco planters loved Demirel.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDemirel would never refrain from using slang and making blue jokes. One day, Ecevit\u2019s advisor Mr. Turan said \u201cWhenever Ecevit gets angry, he slams whatever he\u2019s holding on the desk. That\u2019s how we know if he is really angry. What does Demirel do?\u201d I responded \u201cHe opens the curtains and starts cursing like a sailor.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to D\u00fclger, Demirel was a strong believer in democracy and that there were two instances regarding this: \u201cThe first instance was when he resigned on 12 March. Many people resented him for it but Demirel wanted to preserve parliament which is of course a big democratic institution. The second instance was 28 February\u2026 During a National Security Council meeting the Chief of Staff approaches the President and they talk for a few minutes. The Chief of Staff says \u201cWe decided on these subjects in the meeting. If there is something you don\u2019t agree with, please let us know. We will be meeting on Thursday anyway, we\u2019ll tell you all about it then.\u201d On February 28 the Chief of Staff and the National Force Commander enter the National Security Council meeting together and say \u201cErbakan is going to resign\u201d Demirel, who was President at the time, is of course quite surprised and responds \u201cThis is impossible\u201d to which they retort \u201cIt is going to be possible\u201d and Demirel answers \u201cI can\u2019t do this\u201d which in turn the Chief of Staff says \u201cIf you can\u2019t do it, you\u2019ll find yourself in G\u00fcniz Street.\u201d I\u2019ve talked to my friends in MSP, this is what I would have expected; Erbakan would turn to the National Force Commander and say \u201cHow come you know all of this and we don\u2019t? I\u2019m your Prime Minster, too\u201d then call for a break in the meeting which would be followed by the President declaring the decree for the early retirement of these military men. If he hadn\u2019t agreed to this, I would have expected him to resign. This would have been a great service to democracy, but it didn\u2019t happen\u2026\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cListen to Erbakan for the first 20 minutes he is very right, but after the 21st<\/sup> minute he becomes intolerable.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

D\u00fclger commented on how Demirel was a chain smoker \u201cHe would fold pieces of paper during long meetings. I recall a long cabinet meeting when Erbakan took the floor. Demirel was listening with the same attitude, he was filling up the ashtray in front of him with folded pieces of paper. He used to say \u201cListen to Erbakan for the first 20 minutes he is very right, but after the 21st<\/sup> minute he becomes intolerable.\u201d I was following Demirel throughout the meeting, I looked up to him and saw he had put a folded piece of paper in his mouth like it were a toothpick, he proceeded to do it again. He then gave Erbakan his answer; he was an interesting man with a lot of patience.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the most important qualities of Demirel was his respect for institutions remarked D\u00fclger, he added \u201cAnother thing I believe is integral to the press is that Demirel believed in providing evidence; he wouldn\u2019t care of rumours. He would carry cut-out newspaper articles with him in party meetings or in parliament and use them as evidence. Newspapers were very different back then, of course.\u201d<\/p>\n

His commitment to Mrs. Nazmiye\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

D\u00fclger shared a memory of how committed Demirel was to his wife Mrs. Nazmiye: \u201cThe wife of a good friend was Demirel\u2019s dentist. One day Mrs. Nazmiye slipped and broke her front teeth. They operated on her for four and a half hours. Demirel sat next to her and held her hand throughout the operation. Not many people know how committed Demirel was to his wife Mrs. Nazmiye\u2026<\/p>\n

Demirel always carried a notebook and took notes of his ideas commented D\u00fclger \u201cHe would write a word or two in his notebook and then put it back. One day, he went back to the parliament building because he had forgotten a piece of newspaper he took a note on. We went through the whole archive for four and a half hours and finally found the piece of paper which had a single word scribbled on it. He gave great importance to detail. He had a creative mind and would always overcome great obstacles. He was a simple man, he led a humble life, and was deeply tied to his traditions.\u201d<\/p>\n

D\u00fclger talked about how Demirel read a lot and because he had a good memory, he would use quotations in his speeches. D\u00fclger also remarked that Demirel was very interested in recent political history and was adamant about archiving everything or making sure the necessary documents reached whoever it concerned. Demirel was very disciplined said D\u00fclger, he would know by heart the content of documents; he was also very organized and wouldn\u2019t allow unexpected events to unfold during trips.<\/p>\n

He would never do anything without consulting someone<\/em><\/p>\n

D\u00fclger said this about how Demirel worked:<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough he seemed quite authoritarian Demirel was very interested in discussing matters. After each speech either on TV or in the party he would ask \u201cIf you would like to add anything, please do so.\u201d And he did this after every election. He would never do anything without consulting someone.
\nTravelling around the country was important to Demirel. I have never seen anything like it, where the public could interact with its leader with such warmth. I personally preferred the campaign preparation periods; we would pick themes and he would guide us. Demirel was open to criticism but he was a straight shooter. I\u2019ll never forget the time we were in Kars, Demirel was prime minister and we had a group of media bosses following us. There was only one good hotel in the city centre, when we arrived there, we were informed the media bosses were given the room that was reserved for Demirel. He spent the night in a tiny room that could barely hold his suitcase; he never said a word about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coups and the GAP Project<\/em><\/p>\n

D\u00fclger also talked about Demirel and military coups: \u201cDemirel was opposed to coups, he knew what they did to Turkey. He entered politics after the 27th<\/sup> of May, he wanted democracy to prevail. He was a leader that suffered many injustices after military coups.\u201d<\/p>\n

Demirel was deeply committed to the GAP project said D\u00fclger: \u201cGAP was first thought of in 1967, there hasn\u2019t been a bigger project since. It is quite unfortunate that not even 40% of the project has been completed. I believe that foreign powers have played a role in this. When he visited the Southeast during the troubles he was greeted like a prime minister, he said \u201cI\u2019m here to talk about GAP, ask me anything\u201d and he answered the public\u2019s questions for hours. One of our biggest problems is communication, we needed to be able to tell this to the public systematically.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t look back\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

D\u00fclger remarked that Demirel saying \u201cI don\u2019t look back\u201d as he left the Presidential Palace caused a lot of controversy: \u201cIt was interpreted as him breaking away from the party, or as disinterest, and in my opinion caused the end of the True Path Party. Tansu \u00c7iller is still a big mystery to us\u2026 I think Demirel\u2019s words could be understood as \u201cpull yourselves together\u201d but his words were interpreted as though it came from a father who was offended and leaving.\u201d<\/p>\n

D\u00fclger underlined that Turkey must struggle to institutionalize democracy, and that welfare is important for a democracy. He emphasized the words \u201cFreedom, security and bread\u201d and added \u201cone doesn\u2019t enable the other, they all have to exist at the same time. I wish Turkey will be able to attain this.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued \u201cEmployment, debt and power are our most fundamental problems and they come with a lot of baggage. Through Demirel I learned how to explain these issues to the public in simple terms, about justice, forgiveness and tolerance; and through my father I learned that the main ingredient of politics is man.\u201d<\/p>\n
