Anti-smoking camp files complaint against ‘Mustafa´

Ahmet Ercan, founder of the Anti-Smoking Association, and Orhan Kural, honorary president of the Fighting against Smoking Foundation, have filed a criminal complaint against "Mustafa," in which Atatürk is frequently shown smoking. The complaint reads: "The content of the film and its interpretation of its topics damage the republic and Atatürk. Damaging such values can lead to the breakup of Turkey and to the loss of national pride. On top of that, the father of the Turks has been shown smoking and drinking heavily. His esteem has been lowered. A person who was a good example for Turkish youth has been killed spiritually. The biggest cigarette advertisement in Turkish history has been made using Atatürk." Ercan and Kural have submitted the petition to the Sisli Prosecutor´s Office to be sent to the Ankara chief prosecutor´s office. They claimed that Dündar´s film violates the law on "Preventing damage from tobacco products and their control."

 Interesting, I also would like to know. 

What nonsense.....the man lived several decades ago....before anyone knew how dangerous smoking was!!!  Forget how the man REALLY was...lets change his entire persona to fit our CURRENT idea of what he should have been! 

I really wonder if someone´s name is Mustafa Kemal for example.. does his parents carry greater responsibility in making sure he is brought up well... does he has to carry himself well at all times because of his name that belongs to Ataturk.. if he doesnt turn out to be a good person then how? will he be forced to change his name.. Or is it possible that no one is allowed to have the same name in Turkey? heehee i havent come across any yet

 OMG...can you imagine if he ended up in prison??? They would probably change his name as part of his punishment!

people don`t name their children Mustafa Kemal in Turkey. That`s in fact a common name in Bangladesh as they still praise the struggle of Ataturk against the imperialists west.

Offfffffffffff

I feel so hated   It is so hard being an imperialist Evil Brit  

 Try being a bed amerikan!
