and then they hold hands. it looks too fabulous to be real.

"DİNİN DEVLETİ HÜRRİYETTİR"

Olağan üstü hallerde, Kanun Hükmünde Kararname yetkisi; anlaşılabilir bir şeydir. Ancak amacı, OHAL’e SEBEBİYET VEREN kişi, kurum ve konuların üzerine daha hızlı, daha kararlı gitmekle ve daha seri sonuç almakla sınırlı olmalıdır. Kanun Hükmünde Kararname’lerin; OHAL’i gerektirecek sebeplerle uzaktan yakından ilgisi olmayan, “memur alımından tohum ıslahına kadar,” yargı ve yasamanın yapması gereken her konuda ve sivil hayatta bir kırbaç gibi kullanılması toplumsal yarılmayı kamçılamak demektir.

Fonksiyonları Kanun Hükmünde Kararnameler ile gasp edilmiş yargı ve yasama organları “yürütmenin” karakolu olmaktan öte anlam içermez. Kimse unutmasın ki; yargıyı ve yasamayı temsil edenler talimatla görev yapan kolluk merkezi değildir. Yasama organının yetkilerini kanun hükmünde kararnamelerle pasivize etmek; her sıkışık dönemde arkasına gizlenilen MİLLİ İRADEYİ rafa kaldırmaktır. Yargıya dokunmak vicdana dokunmaktır, yasamaya dokunmak demokrasiye dokunmaktır.

Kanun Hükmünde Kararname’lerin “yasama üslubuna” dönüşmesi ve yargı hükümlerinin yerini alması; bir “KRAL DEVLET” sanrısının acemi provasıdır ve toplumsal hayata totaliterleşme olarak yansır. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Devleti sanrılarla yönetilmeyi hakedecek kadar geleneksiz, üslupsuz ve hakkaniyetsiz değildir.

Siyaset kurumu unutmasın ki; vicdanı yaralanmış, adalet duygusu yaralanmış, hakkaniyet duygusu yaralanmış sosyal aktörlerin merhamet ölçüsü olmaz. Bugün hiçbir yargılamaya hatta hiçbir suçlamaya maruz kalmadan; can emniyeti elinden alınan, mal emniyeti elinden alınan, tahsil emniyeti elinden alınan kişilerin sayısı bir sosyal patlamayı tetikleyecek hacmi çoktan aşmıştır.

Türkiye merhametsizliğin kurumsallaştığı bir ülke olmamalıdır. Bugün görünen o ki; adaletsizlik, merhametsizlik ve intikam argümanları KHK’lerle kurumsallaştırılmak istenmektedir. Siyasal aktörleri uyarmak isterim ki; bu gidiş hayra değildir ve bu gidişat “cambaza baklar” ile gizlenecek kadar hafife alınmamalıdır. Siyaset kurumunu kanun hükmünde kararnamelerle sivil hayatı, toplumsal hayatı tanzimden vazgeçmeye ve kadim kültürümüzün gereğine, adalete, insan merkezli bir siyaset üslubuna davet ediyorum.

Hz. Ali ne güzel söyler; “Devletin dini adalettir; dinin devleti ise hürriyet...”

An Ode to Yargı: Part 3

Note 1: This is part of a series: Part 1, Part 2

Note 2: I had written this during Season 1, but am just getting around to polishing and publishing it, so it mainly references events from Season 1. 

Note 3: This is not meant to be an Ilgaz character study, but rather uses a few examples of Ilgaz’s behavior to help study audience biases. An excellent study of Ilgaz already exists here. 

As mentioned in Part 1, I love that Yargı and its fans are teaching me a lot and subtly causing me to examine my own internalized ideologies. Something that I’ve been grappling with throughout season 1 of the show is the audience (and my) reception of Ilgaz, and whether we have metaphorical blind spots for good men. Ilgaz is the perfect foil to Ceylin: the quintessential classical good man who values integrity, honesty, and is committed and loving towards his wife and family. His masculinity has never been toxic, but rather comprised of stoicism, a strong sense of right and wrong, strength of character, and frankness. We know that he has an unwavering belief in the justice system and is well known for being a morally upright savcı (prosecutor). However, we can love him and still note his flaws, without making him out to be a toxic man. 

Something I’ve realized throughout my time watching Yargı and keeping up with the Twitter fandom is that we seem to have a bigger blind spot for good men than we do for any other type of main character. I think this is due in huge part to the way many of us have been socialized and internalized the ideals that dictate our male-dominated patriarchal societies. When it comes to Yargı, we all know Ceylin to be a scrappy character with major trust issues when it comes to the justice system. We have no problem identifying her missteps, partially because she’s been written to make mistakes and then double down on them and partially because our societies have a pathological problem of women often being each other’s harshest critics. Pınar herself discusses the phenomenon and references John Berger’s book Ways of Seeing. With every misstep of Ceylin’s, especially when she hides something from Ilgaz, I find myself immediately thinking “ah Ceylin, ah!”. Similarly, the Yargı audience usually takes to twitter to discuss if Ceylin’s growth is happening too slowly, or that she has once again made a mistake. Don’t get me wrong, this discussion is honestly good and means Yargi has done its job because it leads the audience into constantly examining its views and beliefs. 

However, I realized that we somehow don’t see a similar extent of reflection whenever Ilgaz hides something from Ceylin. I don’t catch myself thinking “ah Ilgaz, ah!”, or at least not until I rewatch the episode and give myself time to process. How come? Is it because Ilgaz has gained our trust? Because he’s the kind of guy who won’t lie in a testimony and is willing to marry a woman (that he potentially loves already) in order to avoid telling said lie yet still protect her from the consequences of her actions? Is it because we agree with Ilgaz and his motives? I’m not questioning whether Ilgaz is truly morally upright or not, nor am I criticizing Ilgaz as a character, but I am questioning if we have a blind spot for some of his habits because we see him as an ideal, values-driven, non-toxic, good™️ man. I admit that there are hardly any of his kind left on TV, so the law of supply/demand might also apply here. Not convinced? Here are some examples that came to mind for me:

Episode 3/Episode 12: Ilgaz doesn’t tell Ceylin about his father’s involvement in her father’s wrongful imprisonment until Engin forces him into a corner. Ilgaz has known for some time (since Ep. 3), and even temporarily succeeds in having Metin resign/retire, which doesn’t escape Ceylin’s notice (Ep. 9). Regardless, we empathize with his struggle to divulge this information to Ceylin because he is literally torn between the woman he has come to love and his father (who was literally about to shoot himself) through no fault of his own, so we understand why it’s difficult for him to reveal this truth. Sound familiar?

Episode 17: Ilgaz hides his parallel investigation into his first avukat-era client, Mithat bey, from Ceylin. He has a strong suspicion that his client Mithat is not innocent and confirms this via Eren. He is well aware of Ceylin’s view on the matter (that it’s not their job to investigate the truth, they’re not prosecutors, and that they can’t afford to determine the truth before taking on a client), and still chooses to investigate the matter secretly. I’m not criticizing his choice because it makes sense for Ilgaz, and also leads to a steamy scene that we all rejoiced over. However, it does seem familiar…

Episode 18: Ilgaz and Ceylin clash over the right approach to dealing with Galip’s case (involving the staple gun) because of its implications for Melike’s custody case. Ilgaz promises Ceylin he will do it her way, hiding his true intentions, which are then revealed retrospectively to Ceylin in court. Why did Ilgaz feel hiding this was necessary? Hasn’t Ceylin been his true partner so far? It’s possible that this part of the story was told in this way in order to trigger some suspense and uncertainty for the viewer, but to me this is another instance of Ilgaz hiding something from Ceylin because she doesn’t agree with his view or approach. 

Episode 23: Ilgaz can tell something is up with Ceylin and tries to prompt  her to share. When this fails, he digs through her trash, dissects his suspicions with Eren, and even tricks Yekta into helping him decode Ceylin’s secret envelope. Despite receiving good advice to just wait for Ceylin to share, Ilgaz searches her laptop without her knowledge, this time with police help, and finds out Ceylin knowingly sat on information about Yekta’s innocence in this particular case. This is yet another clear example of Ilgaz going his own way in secret when he doesn’t get Ceylin’s cooperation. Furthermore, while I saw many viewers defend Ilgaz’s actions here based on the fact that it’s unjust to arrest or imprison Yekta for a crime he didn’t commit, this was a blatant invasion of privacy to me, not to mention a display of lack of trust. Ceylin may be complicit in having Yekta wrongfully imprisoned, but that’s on her. That doesn’t make Ilgaz right. 

Episode 28: The egg that’s been incubating since Episode 6 has finally hatched and Ilgaz knows about Metin and Cinar’s potential involvement in Zafer’s death and subsequent cover-up. At this point, Ilgaz has reprimanded Ceylin many times for hiding things. Remember when she briefly hid Parla’s involvement in money laundering from Aylin? Yet when Ilgaz is pushed to the brink by these new revelations, he ultimately can’t find the words to tell Ceylin the truth before the situation snowballs, and she finds out from Yekta of all people. Naturally, as viewers, we suffer with Ilgaz here and understand. Even as I write this, I’m questioning whether this was a true instance of hiding. 

These examples obviously illustrate Ilgaz and Ceylin clashing over their interpretation of justice, because that is the central conflict between them. They also demonstrate that Ilgaz is a human, and though he gets really close to it, he is not perfect. He is flawed, just like Ceylin. However, even more interesting, these examples show us that when it comes to hiding things and operating in secret, Ilgaz and Ceylin actually share this tendency. Yet, we only seem to berate Ceylin about it. So what do you think? Do we have a blind spot for Ilgaz’s flaws? I would love to know your thoughts!

i've had a tough week at uni, i'm still taking final papers and exams. not finished yet, but i went back and watched the series and fragments and i have a question what's going on in yargi?

i'm not taking this study out anymore, so here's a few words about what i think of the latest developments in this series.

ceylin. she is my comfortable character, my favorite character and in general i just love to think about her personality and actions. her attempt to send parla abroad and lie to ilgaz is not the best decision she could have made. but i am not going to judge her for that. i don't condone her, but i do understand. somewhere in episode 10 she talks about the way she is: choosing what seems right and beneficial to her at the time; not wanting to be judged for those choices. she thinks about the future and says something like "i won't stop, he won't change. trouble will knock on our doors again and we can't handle it". that's exactly what's happening now.

i don't agree that her character has no development. ceylin has never received professional psychological help in all her time. if you have never dealt with psychological problems, then i can only congratulate you. sometimes people cannot change just because they want to. sometimes it takes years of work with a therapist. ilgaz is very good, but he is not a universal pill that can cure all of ceylin's psychological problems just by love. that is not how it works.

ceylin has a huge amount of trauma related to family. she became the backbone of this family very early on, working 2 jobs to support inji's studies. being the sister of a mother who lost a child. replacing the mother for parla. and replacing the father for them all. she is not separated from her family. she cannot say "no" to them and is willing to give them everything, even at the cost of her own life and marriage.

her family is manipulative. aylin blackmailed ceylin with her own suicide. everyone remember ceylin's breakdown in the middle of the night when she thought her mother wasn't breathing? i was once blackmailed with the death of a family member too, it has a nightmarish effect on a person.

ceylin tried to do what she thought was right. how others react to her action is their decision. life is not a straight line. the show needed this situation because you can't hide the problem under kisses and hugs, even though they are sincere, and think it will go away on its own. they have to figure it out.

me personal opinion: teenagers should be held accountable. they are involved in drug trafficking, mafia activities, and eventually murder. it's time for them to think about what they are doing.

opinion #2: the adults should answer as well. the idiots who took the lynching. even if they went to serdar, they could have called the police a hundred times on the way. they could have called the police and ambulance later. but yes, team cleanup after the murder is clearly better.

i am sad for both ilgaz and ceylin. they are very unlucky with their families.

yekta. my favorite annoying yekta. sooner or later karma will catch up with him. he might be the victim from the 6 month arc.

yekta's son is very strange, i don't have an opinion on him yet.

pars and derya. i really liked pars wedding proposal. it's a very beautiful monologue and far from corny as i expected. that scene is very nice, really. waiting very much for their wedding.

that's it for now. i'm really looking forward to the episode on sunday and hope i can watch it live. i'll get back to writing "1095 days for you" in the new year, now i have absolutely no resources for either the fluff of the first chapters or the angst of the last one.

enjoy the show. discussions are great (it means sema and the whole team are doing a good job and we have something to discuss), but don't take it personally. i believe everything will be solved. thanks for reading it, btw.
