armegon, you shouldn't really say that

Türkiye was there and is there and will be there by her sons
Türkiye was a very strong country,it was an Empire,and that was before Kemal Ataturk.

İt was greater than USA these days,and was standing face to face to the Roman Empire,and the whole West.

And that was by her men ,and will always be

So Türkiye is rich by her men,you really shouldnt say that.

One man no matter how great he was wont make Türkiye.

Türkiye already great,and that what make EU afraid of her

We still see Ataturk the only real turkish hero. he has blond hair and blue eyes. This is taught us in schools. all the foreign countries are our enemies. this is taught us in schools too. Ataturk passed away in 1938 but we visit his mosaleum and talk to him as if he is alive. Ataturk said the only real friends of Turks are Turks (not Americans, Europeans, or Arabs). Ataturk lived between 1881 and 1938. has anything changed in the world since 1938?

our economy is not good, our democracy is not good but we do not care because we have a powerfull army and we can kill our enemies.

I understand why Atatürk is important to many turks even today because the allies tried to tear the rest of the empire apart and he prevented that but it doesn't mean that the rules and laws regarding society back then still are as valid today, because times have changed a lot since then.

So you stayed at primary school and do not need to search and learn the revolutions of Atatürk, you can only describe phisically...So many things changed till 1938 but enemies of Turkiye still remain, there are always lessons to take from history... why are we learning history?Is history a story u listen when you are sleeping?

Please check other leaders what they said about Ataturk. Here we are talking about Kemal Ataturk the great leader of Turkiye so if u love Turkiye and talk about Turkiye, you should know something about Kemal Ataturk and respect him and his country...i cannot tell u longly about turkish history, u can find lots of documents on net, if u have some problems to understand then u can ask me why a pm or mail...

This is a powerful statement and I have read on another thread that someone stated that Turkey has lots of enemies. What is it about your enemies? Who are they? As far as I am aware Turkey has many allies. It concerns me that you are saying because you have a powerful army you do not care about democracy. A powerful army is not the answer to democracy, as has been stated in another related thread.

Thats not a powerful statement, that is the fault of politicians after the time of Kemal Ataturk...Our economy cannot be good, but people want honour not money u cannot understand this. In Turkiye Turks are being abased. Also our democracy is fine. Our enemies are imperialist countries who try to divide Turkiye's unity like in independence war...I want both democracy and powerful army maybe u undersyood wrong?
