Dear Friends. Today I will tell of a man many considered one of the most important personalities See the last century. I too am a great admirer of him. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
When I first traveled to Turkey, I had to my shame, have not heard much about this charismatic personality.
I noticed only that his likeness was to be found not only in every public building, but also in private offices and even in private spaces. Furthermore, I noticed the enthusiasm and devotion to the Turks told me about him.
Who was this man? At this point I would like to make that about him and his work would be to write novels, but it is my contribution here if its size beyond.
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was born in 1881 in Salonika, and died on 10 November 1938 in Istanbul. He was the founder of modern Turkey, it evolved first president of the first post-World War from the Ottoman Empire Republic of Turkey.
He had significant merit as an officer in the defense of the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915, when he fought successfully against the British troops, which should bring the Dardanelles under control. His successful defense against the invading Greeks in Anatolia in 1921 won him fame and honor.
led his military service in Gallipoli for the resignation of the then British War Minister Winston Churchill and let the Prime Minister Lloyd George did lead to the following statement: "How was I to know that our armies headed by a soldier like him, the story only once every century brings forth?".
his political guidelines, the principles of Kemalism have to this day. Republicanism in the sense of popular sovereignty, nationalism as a phrase against the multinational state of the Ottoman blank, populism as an expression of looking to the interests of the people, not a class politics, revolutionism in terms of a steady continuation of reforms, secularism, ie separation of church and state, and statism with partial state control of the economy.
He also led the active and passive voting rights for women one. Since 1930, women could vote in local elections and, since 1934, in the parliamentary elections.
know what, indeed, the least: Atatürk on the Koran-based law superseded by the Swiss civil law. He also took over the German Commercial Law and the Italian criminal law.
I can only recommend once the Dolmabahce Palace in Istanbul to visit, because there Atatürk died on 10 November 1938. I myself have been there several times and you really feel the "spirit" of Ataturk, when visiting the palace. All local clocks are in accordance with ancient custom, on his deathbed.
I know of no other person is known, on the one hand, even after so many years of his death so much admiration and remembrance causes. Second, his charisma and his aura is itself in images so powerful that I now hang a picture of him in my office.
