Associations are like people.
They are born, they live, and they die.
The number of those that survive for long is very few.
They either disappear because of the negligence of their administrators or because of lack of support.
.
Most of those thought to exist are in a vegetative state.
And there are organizations that do not die but kill because of the jealousy and anxiety of politicians.

The Turkish Nationalists Association, discussed in this book, is one of those organizations that was destroyed in this way during its most active period.
