Atatürk diyor ki:
Atatürk says:

"Yurt sevgisi ona hizmetle ölçülür."
"The love of the homeland is measure by serving it".

"Bütün ümidim gençliktedir."
"All my hope is from the youth".

"Dünyada herşey için, medeniyet için, hayat için, başarı için en gerçek yol gösterici ilimdir, fendir."
"For everthing in this world, for civilization, for life, for success, the most real guide is science, applied science."

SPEECH DELIVERED BY ATATÃœRK ON THE OCCASION OF THE TENTH ANNİVERSARY OF THE TURKISH REPUBLIC

The Turkish Nation

We have performed very big works in a short period of time. The biggest of such works is the Republic of Turkey based on the heroism and Turkish Culture. We owe the success to determinative cooperation between the Turkish nation and its esteemed Army. We can never consider those works sufficient. Because we have to perform bigger works. We shall rise our national culture above the level of contemporary civilization. Therefore, the time should conform with the speed and action concept of our century. We shall work harder. We shall realize bigger works in shorter time. We shall be succesful. The Turkish Nation hard working. The Turkish Nation is intelligent. Because, the Turkish Nation had overcome the difficulties by national unity. Because the torch in the hand of the Turkish Nation on the way of progress is positive sicience. Another characteristic of the Turkish Nation is to love the fine arts end to reach a high level in these fields. Therefore, it is our national ideal to develop by all means the good character, industriousness, natural intelligence, particularity about science and fine arts, and national unity concept. Today I definitelly state that, the whole world of civilization will once again recognize the greatness of the Turkish Nation, in a short period of time.

I never doubt that the great civil character of Turkism and its great civil ability will rise as a sun over high horizon of civilisation, through further development.

Happy is the man who calls himself a Turk.

Quote:

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk (1881-1938) is the founder and the first president of the Turkish Republic. His reforms can be concluded as "the rebirth of a nation". After the first world war, Turkey (Ottoman Empire) collapsed down. Nearly whole country was invaded.
He was able to make people believe and formed an assembly representing the nation. Then he formed an army out of nothing. He was genius as a soldier. His victory in the National Independence War was just a beginning to build a nation. His reforms made Turkey a modern country. In his time, Turkish women had the right to elect and to be elected years before some European countries.
Today Turkey is the only secular Muslim country. For all he has done for his nation, the assembly gave him the name "Ataturk" meaning the Father of Turks.

Quote:

Emerging as a military hero at the Dardanelles in 1915, he became the charismatic leader of the Turkish national liberation struggle in 1919. He blazed across the world scene in the early 1920s as a triumphant commander who crushed the invaders of his country. Following a series of impressive victories against all odds, he led his nation to full independence. He put an end to the antiquated Ottoman dynasty whose tale had lasted more than six centuries - and created the Republic of Turkey in 1923, establishing a new government truly representative of the nation's will.

Turks commemorate the founder of the republic on the 67th anniversary of his death

ANKARA - Turkish Daily News


" Turkey will come to a standstill at 9:05 a.m. today, the exact minute when Turkey's founder, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, passed away 67 years ago in Istanbul.

In a statement he released President Ahmet Necdet Sezer said the entire nation was indebted to Atatürk and added that on each anniversary of his passing, they remembered how great his accomplishments had been.

Sezer said Turkey was proud to have had such a leader, adding, “The founder of our republic, savior of our country, great commander, revolutionary and statesman Atatürk will never be forgotten. Atatürk's qualities, peace initiatives, democratic character, military and political achievements shaped the age he lived in.”

Ceremonies around the nation will remember Atatürk today, with a special moment of silence at five past nine in the morning."

ataturk's speech to turkish youth


Turkish Youth,

Your first duty is forever to preserve and to defend the Turkish Independence and the Turkish Republic.

This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be malevolent people at home and abroad, who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. If some day you are compelled to defend your independence and your Republic, you must not tarry to weigh the possibilities and circumstances of the situation before taking up your duty . These possibilities and circumstances may turn out to be extremely unfavorable. The enemies conspiring against your independence and your Republic may have behind them a victory unprecedented in the annals of the world.

It may be that, by violence and ruse, all the fortresses of your beloved fatherland may have been captured, all its shipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every corner of the country invaded. And sadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold power within the country may be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore; they may identify personal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The country may be impoverished, ruined and exhausted .

Youth of Türkiye's future, even in such circumstances, it is your duty to save the Turkish Independence and Republic. You will find the strength you need in your noble blood.



Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

Ankara, 20th of October 1927
