Who Diminished Democracy—Morsi or Menderes
The island bearing the name "Island of Democracy and Freedoms" in the Sea of Marmara has become a site of significant historical events. It hosts a museum that covers different historical eras and stories about democratic movements, presenting models of elections and mosques, as well as sculptures depicting past trials and policies. It was visited by a school and its female students as part of an educational trip. The scenes and events they observed sparked questions and inquiries into the history of grievances and coups, especially drawing comparisons between Turkey’s experience with the coup of Adnan Menderes and Egypt’s experience with President Mohamed Morsi’s rule, and their connection to the island’s submersion and the role of the seas in exile and punishment. The article highlights the symbolic significance of the island as a place reflecting the journey of democracy. It questions the possibility of restoring rights and uncovering the true history, and compares the details of the struggles in both countries.
