Varlik vergisi

S Vikipedije, slobodne enciklopedije

Varlik vergisi (tur. Varlık Vergisi; „porez na bogatstvo” ili „porez na kapital”) je bio porez usmeren uglavnom prema nemuslimanima koji su živeli u Turskoj 1942, sa deklarisanim ciljem da se prikupe sredstva za odbranu zemlje u slučaju eventualnog ulaska u Drugi svetski rat. Stvarni razlog je bio ekonomsko uništenje manjinskog nemuslimanskog stanovništva zemlje,[1] okončanje njihove istaknutosti u privredi države[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] i transfer imovine nemuslimana u ruke muslimanske buržoazije.[11] Radilo se o diskriminatornoj meri koja je oporezivala nemuslimane i do deset puta više i dovela je do prenosa značajne količine bogatstva i imovine od nemuslimana ka muslimanima.[12]

Pozadina[uredi | uredi izvor]

Fazil Ahmet Ajkač, jedan od pobornika Varlik vergisija.
Nešet Ozerčan, jedan od protivnika poreza.
Nemuslimani rasprodaju svoj nameštaj da bi platili porez.

Predlog zakona o jednokratnom porezu je predložila vlada Šukrua Saradžoglua, a usvojen je u Parlamentu 11. novembra 1942. Porez se ticao fiksne imovine poput nekretnina, preduzeća i industrijskih postrojenja svih građana, ali je posebno targetirao manjine. Najteže su bili pogođeni nemuslimani poput Jevreja, Grka, Jermena i levantinaca,[13] koji su upravljali velikim delom privrede,[14] ali Jermeni su oporezovani najvišom stopom.[15]

Poreski obveznici su bili svi građani Turske, ali izuzetno visoke stope su nametnute nemuslimanskom stanovništvu na proizvoljan i predatorski način.[16] Pošto su najveći deo poreza plaćali isključivo nemuslimani,[17][18] u javnosti je zakon viđen kao „džizija - kaurski porez” protiv njih.[18] Ovaj porez je doveo do nestanka preostale nemuslimanske trgovačke klase u Turskoj,[17][19][20] a životi i imovina mnogih nemuslimanskih porodica su uništeni.[21][22] Poreske stope su bile toliko visoke da je porez ponekad bio veći od vrednosti celokupne imovine osobe.[23] Dodatno, zakon se primenjivao i na mnoge siromašne nemuslimane poput vozača, radnika pa čak i prosjaka, dok siromašni muslimani nisu morali da plaćaju ovaj porez.[24]

Varlik vergisi je doveo do samoubistava određenog broja stanovnika Istanbula iz redova etničkih manjina.[25][26]

Kategorija stanovništva Poreska stopa[27][28][29]
Jermeni hrišćani 232%
Jevreji 179%
Grci hrišćani 156%
Muslimani 4,94%

Tokom Drugog svetskog rata, Turska je ostala neutralna sve do februara 1945. Zvanično, porez je uveden da bi se popunila državna blagajna sredstvima potrebnim ukoliko bi Nacistička Nemačka ili Sovjetski Savez izvršili invaziju na Tursku. Međutim, glavni razlog za uvođenje ovog poreza je bio da se nacionalizuje turska ekonomija i smanji uticaj i kontrola manjinskog stanovništva nad trgovinom, finansijama i industrijom.[30]

Na porez se nije mogla podneti žalba sudu. Nemuslimani su morali da plate porez u roku od 15 dana u gotovini.[31] Mnogi ljudi koji nisu mogli da priušte da plate porez su pozajmljivali novac od rodbine i prijatelja, ili su prodavali svoju imovinu na javnim aukcijama, ili su prodavali svoje radnje kako bi prikupili neophodan novac.[32][33] Oni koji nisu bili u stanju da plate su bili poslati u radne logore u istočnoj Anadoliji.[34][35][36][37] Radnici su bili plaćeni za svoj rad ali polovina njihove plate je zadržavana u svrhu otplate duga.[38] Zbog teškog oračkog rada neki stariji dužnici su se dogovarali sa mladim seljacima iz Aškalea kako bi oni radili umesto njih, a zauzvrat su dužnici davali seljacima svoje dnevnice.[39] Pet hiljada ljudi je poslato tamo a svi su bili nemuslimani,[40] jer su muslimanski obveznici koji nisu platili porez dobijali blaže kazne.[41] Takođe, postojale su olakšice za plaćanje i popusti za muslimane. Iako je zakon propisivao da su ljudi stariji od pedeset i pet godina izuzeti od prinudnog rada, stariji, pa čak i bolesni ljudi su takođe slati u radne logore.[42] Dvadeset i jedna osoba poslata u radne logore je tamo umrla[43] a turska vlada je otela njihovu imovinu i prodala je turskim muslimanima po izuzetno niskim cenama, što je utabalo put stvaranju nekih od savremenih turskih konglomerata.[44]

Država je takođe konfiskovala imovinu dužnikovih rođaka (uključujući roditelje, roditelje supružnika, decu i braću i sestre), i prodavala ovu imovinu kako bi namirila poreski dug, čak i ako bi dužnik bio oteran na prinudni rad.[45]

Strani državljani koji su živeli u Turskoj su takođe morali da plate visok jednokratni porez na svoje procenjeno bogatstvo. Međutim, niko od njih nije finansijski uništen niti je počinio samoubistvo. Ovaj porez nije bio baziran na realnoj situaciji, već su ga vlasti proizvoljno određivale.[46] Ovo je navelo strane ambasade i konzulate da intervenišu u korist svojih državljana.[47]

Poreski obveznici su razvrstani u četiri spiska, „M” spisak, za muslimane, „G”, za nemuslimane (Gayrimuslim), „E”, za strance (Ecnebi) i „D” za konvertite (Dönme).[48]

Ovaj strogo sprovođeni, diskriminatorski zakon nije doveo do rezultata kojima se vlada nadala. Preduzeća su značajno podigla cene svojih proizvoda kako bi se oporavila od gubitaka, što je dovelo do spirale inflacije koja je uništila potrošače sa nižim primanjima.

Međutim, prema zvaničnim podacima, turska vlada je prikupila 324 miliona lira (u vreme kada je 1 američki dolar vredeo 1,20 turskih lira) konfiskacijom imovine nemuslimana.[16] Ova količina novca bi danas vredela više od 4 milijarde američkih dolara.[traži se izvor]

Prema Faiku Ekteu, direktoru finansija za provinciju Istanbul u vreme Varlik vergisija, turska vlada je prikupila 289.256.246 lira od nemuslimanskih manjina, 34.226.764 lira od konvertita i 25.600.409 lira od muslimana.[49]

Tokom ovog perioda, turska štampa je navodno objavljivala članke i izveštaje usmerene protiv manjina.[50][51][52]

Poništavanje i posledice[uredi | uredi izvor]

Ovaj zakon nije mogao da opstane suočen sa oštrom međunarodnom kritikom. Pod pritiskom Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva i Sjedinjenih Država, poniten je 15. marta 1944.[53] Nakon poništavanja, pripadnici manjina koji su poslati u radne logore su pušteni kućama.[54] Turska vlada je obećala da će vratiti plaćeni porez nemuslimanima, ali do toga nije došlo.[55]

Opoziciona Demokratska partija je iskoristila njegovu nepopularnost na opštim izborima 1950,[14] što su bili prvi demokratski opšti izbori u Turskoj Republici. Na ovim izborima je Demokratska partija ostvarila jasnu pobedu nad Republikanskom narodnom partijom.

Ovi porezi su doneli trajnu demografsku promenu unutar manjinskog stanovništva. Mnogi pripadnici manjina, posebno grčke manjine, su osećali da za njih nema budućnosti u Turskoj, i napustili su svoje domove i postali izbeglice u Grčkoj. Sa druge strane, neki, posebno pripadnici jevrejske zajednice su uspeli da izvuku svoju imovinu u inostranstvo i da obnove svoj nesiguran život u Turskoj.[56] Porez je takođe doveo do konfiskacije velike količine manjinske imovine u Istanbulu, što je „turkifikovalo” ne samo privredu već i sam grad.[57] Popis iz 1935. je zabeležio 1,98% nemuslimanskog stanovništva; do 1945, ovaj procenat je pao na 1,54%.

Takođe, Varlik vergisi je još jednom demonstrirao da je muslimanska veroispovest predstavljala značajan deo definicije državljanstva u Turskoj.[58]

Način na koji je turska štampa pisala o ovom porezu predstavlja primer bliskih odnosa između izvršne vlasti i štampe u turskoj.[59]

Varlik vergisi je naterao mala preduzeća da prekinu svoje poslovanje ili da prodaju imovinu velikim preduzećima, što je ostavilo tržište pod kontrolom krupnog kapitala.[60]

Godine 1951, Faik Ekte je objavio svoje memoare. U njima je priznao da je porez bio primenjivan na diskriminatorski način prema nemuslimanima. Turska štampa ga je osudila zbog objavljivanja ove izjave i proglasila ga „izdajnikom otadžbine”.[61]

Godinama nakon uvođenja ovog poreza, za političku elitu Turske je suočavanje sa ovom temom bilo problematično. Istorijski roman Salkım Hanım'ın Taneleri (različito prevođen kao Dijamanti/Biseri/Perle/Ogrlica gospođe Salkim), turskog pisca Jilmaza Karakojunlua, prati priče i svedočanstva nemuslimana tokom primene Varlik vergisija. Roman je uskoro pretočen u istoimeni film. Članovi parlamenta, poput Ahmeta Čakara iz Partije nacionalističkog pokreta, su oštro negodovali zbog prikazivanja ovog filma.[62]
