The difference between the nation with art and without art; Art makes the public open-minded.

A public requires some branches to reach a developed level such as art that can be the most important branch to improve as individually. When an individual improves himself/herself, public will reach the civilized nation very easily. We can describe the art as the way to describe the ideas and characters. So, the public will get a quicker progression socially.

For example, music is one of the powerful instruments to describe the feelings and the human being. Every kind of music can have different rhythms. Other branches such as painting let the artist state himself/herself, too. A beautiful view has a great beauty for the painter and the other people. Theater is based on human being nature. We can see many different human characters on the stage. We can also watch various human being actions in the theaters. Sculpture is one of the great art branches. Artist can create a big figure or a simple figure. It is required to be taught by the teachers due to create a sculpture. Poets and writers are the other artists that will assist the public to improve. Every art branch requires education facilities such as universities and workshops. So many people will have a way to describe himself / herself. That’s what republic is based on.

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is a leader that respects the artists. He loves the art including literature. He also states that art is the most important way to state the public. He supports the artists and art. Turkish Republic is based on culture and art. All of the revolutions are aimed the public to be improved. His statement is that;

A nation without art means a nation that lost one of the vital blood vessels.

Always Ataturk..

I like the wise, agile and ethic athletes

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is such a leader that he can direct his nation in true way. He cared the education of youth in every subject including sport. As he was a soldier, he was a well-disciplined officer. So, he also admired the disciplined people including athletes. Because sport is a branch that requires discipline like military. We all know that he was very careful of honor and agility. When we combine those understanding, our leader Ataturk like the wise, agile and ethic sportspeople.

Always Ataturk…

Strength of a public: Native Language

A public need something to unite in the frame of nationalism such as culture and public’s native language. Mustafa Kemal planned to unite the Turkish public in culture and Turkish language.

There were two sorts of language in Ottoman Empire. The official language, that was used in palace and elite people, was the mixture of Arabic, Persian and Turkish languages. It was very difficult to learn. The other one was the pure Turkish language that was used by public. Also, the masterpieces of Anatolian poems were written in this pure Turkish language. So many people knew them (even today). The first language had created palace literature, it was naturally limited.

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk planned to make Turkish language pure. He wanted to get it rid of foreign languages. So, the public will find the original spirit of the culture. Anatolian folk poets have been using pure Turkish language to state traditional emotions for centuries. After republic, the mixed language (Ottoman) was gone. Pure Turkish Language became the official language of new Turkish Republic.

Public’s native language is the power of united nation.

Always Ataturk

His vision for Islam

Mustafa Kemal was coming from traditional Muslim family. His mother was a traditional Muslim woman. She wanted him to be a hodja that’s why she sent him to the religious school of the neighborhood. He couldn’t orientate the religious school because of the reactions of the hodja. Then he decided to go to the military school (his real target) with the support of his father.

He stated that his favorite character was Prophet Muhammed. He always tried to apply the true Islam in his entire life. At the same time, he was a modern leader. He realized that Islam was full of nonsenses and useless beliefs. Firstly, he had the Kuran translated in Turkish in order to be understood by everyone. He had Turkish Religious Affairs department founded due to organize the religious education and system in a true way. His purposes were to modernize and apply real Islam. He also knew that religion could be used as weapon in order to control or provócate a nation. So, he wanted to prevent it to happen. Secularism is the key principle for this purpose. Islam has always been different than Arab culture in Anatolia. He relied on the clean spirit of Anatolian society.

Europe had the same sort of crisis in the medieval age. The public was under the pressure of church authority. That’s why the European public got ignorant. All of the Europe ruined because of black plague. Because of the cats’ devil nonsense, all cats were killed, and the rats had spread black plague. Millions of people died. This is an example how radicalism can be dangerous for a nation. They got rid of this pressure after scientific and artistic development. It is valid for every religion.

Always Ataturk…..

A human being can pass away but ideas never die

We all know that every human being is mortal. So, everybody will die in a day. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk stated that: my body will become soil naturally, but Turkish Republic will survive forever. He was aware of this fact and also, he knew that ideas never die. They live forever in the minds and history. It is certain that Ataturk is made of free mind and ideas.

Immortality is the thing that the kings and leader have been looking for centuries. There are significant examples of those characters in the history. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk became immortal with his masterpiece ” Turkish Republic” and “independency”. He passed away on 10th of November 1938 at 09:05. He left his heritage to Turkish youth that he relied on the most. His legacy is free Turkish Republic and independent world.

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is an immortal leader due to guide free world. His words are good enough to describe this statement; To know me doesn’t mean to see my face, just understand my ideas to know me….

Always Ataturk…..

Turkish Republic is 102 years old

102 years ago, new Turkish Republic was founded. After a tough fight for freedom and independency, Turkish nation was honored with a new Turkish Republic thank to a leader who had a real and strong vision. Many lives were sacrificed and generations till the end of WW1 were gone. Turkish nation fought against Imperialism, and we didn’t accept to be the slave of our enemies. We preferred to die instead of being a commonwealth of Imperialism.

After the independency war was won, Mustafa Kemal became his plans true for a strong and civilized Turkish Republic. Firstly, the suitable ruling system should have been chosen. Monarchy wasn’t an option for the future. A new and strong system should have been applied to new Turkish State. Republic was the best system that everyone in public could be represented. So, the country would unite with the Republic spirit. Even today we can see how Ataturk is right. His republic has strong and national roots.

The republic was declared on 29th of October 1923. Turkish Senate accepted this proposal by unanimous vote. Mustafa Kemal’s leadership directs us to a free and civilized world. He always guides the nation that are under Imperialism. His statements are showing us the best way to free world. The benefits of the nation and the Turkish Republic are above everything. They can’t be compared with a group’s or someone’s benefits.

Forever Turkish Republic and Mustafa Kemal Ataturk

Why is Ataturk so important for the free world?

What does freedom mean? Does it mean limitless freedom or limited but respectful freedom? Mustafa Kemal Ataturk defended limited but respectful freedom. Because respect is everything and the nation’s benefits are over all of everything. He was the part of the nation, and he didn’t separate himself from Turkish nation and modern world.

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is a humanist leader. The lives of individuals are valuable. He addressed the mothers of ANZAC soldiers after the republic was declared. His statement is that the mothers shouldn’t have got upset, their children are lying up in a friendly country. That’s why, the grandsons and granddaughters of those soldiers come to Galiipoli in order to memorize their grand- grandfathers every year. He also states that the wars are murder unless you defend your homeland.

Freedom isn’t just a word. It is a term that should be watched at any time. Full freedom is everything for a state. Economic independency, cultural independency and individual self- sufficient are all composed of full freedom. The members of the nation should be educated and trained as successful citizens. They all should be contributed the state’s benefits and development. Not only the economic works, and also, we can list the cultural and charity works. Full development cones after this principle. All of the people have the right to decide their own destiny in the frame of personality. If this decision is also about anybody else, there is no freedom for this side.

Civilization is such a world that M.K.Ataturk has a target to be over all of this world. We need to work hard to achieve this goal. We need to have our own character. Turkish Republic is based on modern world that shapes the civilization.

Always Ataturk….

Everyone in Turkish Republic is a Turk.

As a definition of Turkish citizenship, everyone who lives in Turkiye is a Turk. The origin or the religion doesn’t matter. Mustafa Kemal stated that the origins weren’t important. All of those public members were considered as Turk.

We aren’t from Turkiye. Everyone in Turkish Republic and who feels themselves as Turk are Turks. That person can be a Greek or a Jewish or anyone else (for Turkish territory). It is the same for the religion. The differences can make a nation strong; they don’t have to differ the public. That’s what Ataturk meant. Unity is the key point of a strong nation. Not a religion or an origin can change it. Loyalty to a nation is the only thing that will notice it.

This is Ataturk’s nationalism….

How did Ataturk manage to develop new Turkish Republic?

Firstly, it is important to know that new Turkish Republic had just got out of a war. As a result of the war, the natural sources were damaged or nearly about to run out of materials. But this fact didn’t stop Mustafa Kemal. Our leader made a planning in order to develop new Turkish Republic.

Agriculture was the major economic activity in that era, but the methods were primitive. That’s why it should have been modernized. Also, the farmers and villagers should have been trained in order to get a good result. New agriculture engineers were educated according to the necessities of modern agriculture. The factories that were based on agriculture were built in Anatolia. The main goal was to become self- sufficient. Then the export could be done to the world. Village Institutes trained villagers due to produce more efficiency in economy and in culture. Industrial factories were established. Railways became the main transportation mode. It was aimed to increase the production. Five-year development plans were based on economical independency.

Economic development should have been supported by cultural and social revolutions.

All of the moves were based on full independency.

Always Ataturk…

Ataturk and Reality

A leader should evaluate the real situation and inform the public as how it is. A real leader also should make the public hopeful about the recovery. So, the public relies on this leader Also, the consistence between the speeches and actions is necessary to be reliable.

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is such a leader because he never promised not to do anything he can’t do. He also added that he could do everything with the public (with their power). A strong leadership works in that way. Nationalism is the key point.

Always Ataturk….
