Atilla Yayla is one of the most popular and richest Columnist who was born on March 3, 1957 in Kırşehir, Kırşehir, Turkey.
Atilla Yayla (Turkish: [atiɫɫa jajɫa] , born (1957-03-03 ) March 3, 1957), is a Turkish political thinker and a proponent of liberal democracy. He is one of the founders of Association for Liberal Thinking in Turkey. He was Professor of Politics, Political Economy and Political Philosophy at Gazi University in Turkey. After his retirement from the public sector in 2009, Yayla became head of the International Relations department at Faculty of Commercial Sciences of Istanbul Commerce University until he was fired in 2015. In 2016 he was fired from his teaching post at Haliç University, after the University administration was charged with corruption and turned over to Istanbul University by The Council of Higher Education (YÖK). Yayla lost the case against Haliç University administration in 2019 and was ordered to pay the court fees.
In the 1970s he was involved in Yeniden Milli Mücadele Hareketi (The War of Independence Anew Movement), an anti-communist, anti-zionist and anti- imperialist reactionary movement founded by Islamist students. In the mid- 1980s, around 1984-85 according to his statement, he embraced liberal views. However, Yayla went on during the 1980s to support the military junta in Turkey, writing “Thanks to the 12 September 1980 operation, Turkey has been freed from the blaze of terrorism, which had almost turned into a civil war, and found peace.” He praised the army, writing “… the fact that the Turkish army has established an unprecedented tradition in terms of commitment to democracy is also the guarantee of our democracy’s survival”, and praised the leader of the military junta, the Chief of the General Staff, Kenan Evren, as “… one of the significant sources of hope for the survival of our democracy.” Again, in 2007, Yayla praised Evren for his views on a possible transition to a federal system in Turkey, saying: “No one dares [to express these views] since freedom of speech is not developed enough [in Turkey]. Kenan Evren is in the best position to express these views. He is opening a new era in our thought life, it is a pleasant development.”
