Ypres ya da Flemenk\u00e7e ad\u0131yla Ieper; Bel\u00e7ika\u2019n\u0131n g\u00fcneybat\u0131s\u0131nda yer alan, 40.000 n\u00fcfuslu k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck bir kasaba. 1. D\u00fcnya Sava\u015f\u0131 s\u0131ras\u0131nda b\u00fcy\u00fck \u00e7arp\u0131\u015fmalara sahne olmasa muhtemelen kimse taraf\u0131ndan da tan\u0131nmayacakt\u0131. Oysa \u015fimdi tarihe merakl\u0131 milyonlar taraf\u0131ndan biliniyor.<\/p>\n

Ge\u00e7en g\u00fcn tesad\u00fcfi bir \u015fekilde bu \u015fehirde bulundum, saat 19:30 gibiydi. Kasaban\u0131n meydan\u0131ndaki b\u00fcy\u00fck an\u0131t dikkatimi \u00e7ekmi\u015f, onu yak\u0131ndan g\u00f6rmek istemi\u015ftim. An\u0131ta geldi\u011fimde ise etrafta m\u00fcthi\u015f bir kalabal\u0131\u011f\u0131n oldu\u011funu fark ettim. Zaman zaman Bel\u00e7ika Kral\u0131\u2019n\u0131n kasabalara d\u00fczenledi\u011fi gezilerden biri olarak tahmin edip \u00f6nemsemedim ama kalabal\u0131\u011f\u0131n i\u00e7inde \u00e7ok say\u0131da \u0130ngiliz\u2019in bulunmas\u0131, toplanman\u0131n nedeni konusunda beni meraka d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcrd\u00fc. Kalabal\u0131k i\u00e7inden bir ki\u015fiyle sohbet edip i\u015fin asl\u0131na vak\u0131f oldum.<\/p>\n

Ypres, \u201cGreat War\u201d<\/strong> olarak da an\u0131lan 1. D\u00fcnya Sava\u015f\u0131 s\u0131ras\u0131nda, Alman \u0130mparatorlu\u011fu ile Birle\u015fik Krall\u0131k kuvvetleri aras\u0131nda m\u00fcthi\u015f \u00e7arp\u0131\u015fmalara sahne olmu\u015f. Yak\u0131n\u0131nda be\u015f ayr\u0131 muharebenin ger\u00e7ekle\u015fti\u011fi Ypres, ayn\u0131 zamanda zehirli gaz\u0131n da kullan\u0131ld\u0131\u011f\u0131 ilk yer olarak tarihe ge\u00e7mi\u015f. Toplamda Birle\u015fik Krall\u0131k 510,000, Alman \u0130mparatorlu\u011fu ise 350,000<\/strong> zaiyat vermi\u015f. \u0130ngilizler verdikleri kay\u0131plara ithafen \u015fehri Ypres yerine Wiper (silecek) olarak an\u0131yorlarm\u0131\u015f.<\/p>\n

\u201cYpres\u2019ten \u00e7\u0131karaca\u011f\u0131m\u0131z ders ne?\u201d<\/strong> derseniz, vefa ve sayg\u0131<\/strong> dersi.<\/p>\n

Kasaban\u0131n her yan\u0131na an\u0131tlar, an\u0131t mezarlar, m\u00fczeler yap\u0131lm\u0131\u015f. T\u00fcm kay\u0131plar\u0131n isimleri \u015fehrin her yan\u0131na kaz\u0131nm\u0131\u015f. Birle\u015fik Krall\u0131k\u2019tan hemen her g\u00fcn turlar, ak\u0131n ak\u0131n insanlar\u0131 buraya ta\u015f\u0131yor. Ve as\u0131l hayrete d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcren hadise; her g\u00fcn saat 20:00\u2019de 10 dakikal\u0131k bir anma d\u00fczenleniyor. Evet yanl\u0131\u015f okumad\u0131n\u0131z, y\u0131l\u0131n 365 g\u00fcn\u00fc tekrarlanan bir anma bu.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Anmadan yakla\u015f\u0131k yar\u0131m saat \u00f6nce insanlar an\u0131t etraf\u0131nda toplanmaya ba\u015fl\u0131yor. Birle\u015fik Krall\u0131k ordusu\u2019na mensup askerler, ellerinde \u0130ngiliz bayra\u011f\u0131 ile sessizce saatin 20:00 olmas\u0131n\u0131 bekliyor. 20:00\u2019de ba\u015flayan \u201cg\u00fcn sonu borusu\u201d ile sayg\u0131 duru\u015funa ge\u00e7iyorlar. Bir konu\u015fmac\u0131 hayatlar\u0131n\u0131 kaybeden askerleri minnetle yad ettikten sonra an\u0131ta \u00e7i\u00e7ek koyularak t\u00f6ren tamamlan\u0131yor.<\/p>\n

Olay\u0131n \u00fczerinden 1 as\u0131r ge\u00e7mi\u015f olmas\u0131na ra\u011fmen, a\u011flayan insanlara \u015fahit oldum. T\u00f6ren boyunca kimse bir saniye olsun ciddiyetten taviz vermiyor. Ses \u00e7\u0131karan \u00e7ocuklar \u00fcslubunca uyar\u0131l\u0131yor, hat\u0131raya sayg\u0131 i\u00e7in telkin ediliyor.<\/p>\n

Yer ve olaylar\u0131 kar\u015f\u0131la\u015ft\u0131r\u0131nca Ypres i\u00e7in Bat\u0131 Avrupa\u2019n\u0131n \u00c7anakkalesi demek yanl\u0131\u015f olmaz. M\u00fccadelenin sertli\u011fi, yerin lojistik \u00f6nemi ve tabi kay\u0131plar… Her y\u00f6n\u00fcyle \u00c7anakkale\u2019yi \u00e7a\u011fr\u0131\u015ft\u0131ran bir sava\u015f Ypres Sava\u015f\u0131.<\/p>\n

Bel\u00e7ikal\u0131lar, o topraklarda can veren \u0130ngiliz askerine bu kadar vefa sergiliyor. 100 y\u0131l sonra bile onlara sayg\u0131 duyuyor, onlar i\u00e7in g\u00f6zya\u015f\u0131 d\u00f6k\u00fcyor. Ve bunu her g\u00fcn tekrarl\u0131yor. 90\u2019lardan itibaren bizde de \u00c7anakkale\u2019ye ilgi artt\u0131 ama hi\u00e7bir \u015fekilde buradakiyle k\u0131yaslanamaz.<\/p>\n

Salt \u00c7anakkale olarak da d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnmemek laz\u0131m. \u201cKurtulu\u015f Sava\u015f\u0131 Tiyatrosu\u201d<\/strong> diyerek, verdi\u011fimiz binlerce \u015fehidin aziz hat\u0131ras\u0131n\u0131 kirleten deyyuslar var. Bir Flaman\u2019\u0131n, \u0130ngiliz askerine g\u00f6sterdi\u011fi sayg\u0131n\u0131n binde birini, \u00fclkenin kurtar\u0131c\u0131s\u0131na g\u00f6stermeyen a\u015fa\u011f\u0131l\u0131k nank\u00f6rler var. Y\u0131lda d\u00f6rt kez kutlanan Milli bayramlar\u0131, bir kez tutulan milli yas\u0131 hazmedemeyen ars\u0131zlar var. Ulus bilincimizi \u00e7elikle\u015ftiren her olaya nefretle yakla\u015fan namussuzlar var…<\/p>\n
