Although many attempts have been made to write a history of the National Struggle free from legends and superstitions, in our opinion, all these efforts have been insufficient, failed to fall into place, and could not be anchored in a "National Historical Consciousness." It is painful, but we must confess that to this day, our historians have been unable to write the true history of this most sensitive period of our past. Contemporary historian Murat Bardakçı stated in a television program that communication between Mustafa Kemal and Vahideddin never ceased until the liberation of İzmir, that documents regarding this communication are kept by a state institution and have not been disclosed to the public, that this state institution is not the General Staff Archive, and that he himself has seen the documents in question. This means that as a nation, our "Age of Logos/Ideas" has not yet arrived; we are still experiencing the "Age of Myth/Fable," though we cannot decide whether to call it "perception" or the "emasculation of perception." So, what is to be done? In view of the fact that some sources regarding our National Struggle History have been censored and banned, should we surrender to the weapons of legends and superstitions? Or, as those who have not believed in them have done until now, should we strive to address this most sensitive period of our history at a level far from being anchored in a "National Historical Consciousness"—through tiny, narrow witticisms and patchwork references—and thus be condemned to get lost among legends and superstitions?
