Anatolia was in chaos after WW1. Due to the invasions and ethnic uprisings, local Turkish nation was the target of enemies. There were two big goals: to establish Armenian and Kurdistan in Eastern Anatolia. Mustafa Kemal organized the national powers to fight against these goals. He was aware of all facts, so he wanted all world to know that Anatolia’s local public was Turks. He informed Western press about it and he directed the national uprising to prevent invasions. The fact was that all of the ethnic uprisings (Armenian and Kurdish) were supported by imperialist countries (it is still going on at present).
Armenian and Kurdish gangs that were armed by imperialist powers tortured Turkish public. They killed thousands of people. They raped women and killed many babes in their mothers’ body. They were applying cruel methods to make ethnic cleaning. Their purpose was to kill all Turks in the region (The same scenario was applied by Greek gangs in Cyprus in 1960’s). Mustafa Kemal encouraged them to fight against them. They were stopped by the national powers.
Mustafa Kemal organized the local powers for the resistance. Even the Ottoman authority let them alone, Mustafa Kemal gave them the way to be survive.
Thank you, our leader,..
Always Atatürk..
