Ataturk was a great general; today his fundamentals still guides many world leaders. He was the first frontier against Muslim extremism, first time in western civilization cihad was declared against him, and he rightfully got rid of most Muslim extremists from Turkey in early 1900s, and since then Muslim extremist kept their grudges to kill his Fundamentals.
The biggest Muslim extremist against Ataturk, was dismissed (kicked out) from Turkey and this illegal extremist livers here in New Jersey USA among us and poisoning young American youth which is paid from our tax dollars.
I do not want to mention his name here but search Google under “Founder of Turkey’s largest Islamic movement” you will see his name. WAKEUP AMERICA!!!!
Your article on Ataturk not only reflects a Nation Builder, a great Leader but also one who had sensed the dangers of fundamentalist Islam and took necessary precautions.
Regretfully, the statesmen of today don’t realize the dangers of supporting a fundamentalist regime moving ruthlesly and with no mecry to dictatorship!
It is sad that leaqders like Ataturk come to a nation once in 200 years as Winston Churchill said following the Lozan treaty.
Mustafa
Frankly, I am getting bored with the endless mythologizing of Mustapha Kemal in the West. The guy had a hand in the Genocide of 1.5 million civilian Armenians. He later attacked, without provocation, the new-born republic of Armenia, to slaughter Armenians who had miraculously managed to flee the planned extinction of their 4,000-year-old nation. Mustapha was a brutal dictator. He was also an alcoholic who died, in his, ’50s, from brain syphilis. Anyone who self-styles himself “Father of the Turks” (Ataturk) has serious emotional issues. Imagine George Washington or Abraham Lincoln declaring that henceforth they should be called Father of Americans. Finally, you don’t make a country progressive or western by merely banning the fez and the veil. Since his demise, Turkey has been ruled overtly or covertly by Ataturk-worshipping military dictatorships. Erdogan rules only because the generals let him stay in power–so that Turkey would seem democratic and be allowed into EU.
For the God’s sake why only Armanians and partly Greeks crying when the subject comes to Turks, Turkey and Ataturk?
Why because their hands are dirty and bloody.
Stop trying to cheat the World, come to realities of the present.
Realities of the Twenty First Century.
If 1.5 million Armenians were killed, how can they still live?? There were not that much armenian in that time :) then it is totally a lie. There were some events but it was the result of the atack of Armenian gangs. Armenians killed hundreds of innocent Turkish villagers first and then their relatives killed them for revenge. That’s all. There are thousands of Armenians living in Turkey and they are all happy to live in there. STOP LYING you poors!!
