Notes
Legal opportunities have been provided to give a rational and efficient form to our management style, which cannot satisfy the people and the government, and our entire administrative organization has begun to be examined one by one and in detail. In order for this reform attempt and movement to be fruitful and fruitful, it is necessary to first reform the high institutions that are at the top of the administrative organization and give directives that control all administrative activities, and to bring them to a high level worthy of the administration of the Republic. The judgment of the people (fish stinks from the head) is not unwise and inaccurate. But, before getting into the subject, I would like to point out that institutions do not represent any value in themselves, they are, in a sense, ordinary non-existent entities. It is the inherent merits and values of the individuals who constitute and represent them that evaluate the institutions. In fact, are all social institutions and regimes, political and administrative, nothing more than tools created for the purpose of pleasing and making the people happy?... These are service and activity devices that are designed to realize only this purpose. Services and activities that are beneficial to the public on a large scale are not the profits of non-existent entities, but only of distinguished people with merit. In order to be worthy of the name of such a highly qualified official, public and government eunuch, it is necessary to be familiar with at least one of the general culture and western languages. Because, as Socrates said, "virtue, like everything else, is acquired through constant training and exercises."
