nationalism
Zeybek considers the Turkish language to be the oldest language in the world. According to his book "Ülkü Yolu", Islam and the legitimacy of Turkish national history are the sources of "idealism" (tr: Ülkü). Politics shouldn't instrumentalize religion, politics should serve religion. "Idealism" is not a reformist movement. She is fundamentalist. The “idealist” is a cadre who shed blood for a good cause. The greatest enemy of idealism is communism.
