Description: “…There is something I consider essential in the present time. We must not belittle the people who lived in the past and who created our present (with all its good and bad). Often, the belittling of yesterday is not done out of objectivity but rather out of opportunism; it hides our own smallness.

Some, when they cannot reach high, try to bring down the high of yesterday to the low. This is happening today, in the name of ‘new pedagogy’ or under the guise of some nebulous ‘deconstructive history,’ with which they aim to erase anything that can be called ‘nation’ and ‘national,’ and first of all, national history and national literature, which inspire national spirit and the national politics of independence.

Thus, the individuals who created in 1821 are systematically tarnished."
