Atatürk reminds us of one of this century’s greatest human successes, a leadership that gives inspiration to the Turkish people,a foresighted understanding of the modern world and his power and great courage as a military leader. The birth of a free Turkey out of a collapsing empire, the honorable proclamation of a New Turkey’s sovereignty and independence and its preservation since then is the work of Atatürk’s Turkish people. Without doubt, there’s no other example like his deep-rooted and broad-based revolutions in Turkey that demonstrate the confidence of the crowds in him.
