"I don't act for public
opinion; I act for my nation and for her satisfaction!" A brilliant
soldier, a revolutionary statesman, creating a nation and a homeland! A man
who joined his fate with destiny of his
nation.
Emerging as a
military hero at the Dardanelles in 1915, he became the charismatic leader of
the Turkish national liberation struggle in 1919.
As the undefeated commender in WW I he blazed
across the world scene in the early 1920s as the triumphant commander who
crushed the invaders of his country, leading his people in their struggle
against the invading Greek forces and won back their independence. In
1923, on the ruins of the defunct Ottoman
Empire, he founded and became the first president of the Republic of
Turkey.
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is considered a hero by
many people of Turkish descent, and by many leaders around the world. He established democracy,
under single party rule in Turkey, and created significant reforms in there. His
policies championed public education in what had previously been a mostly
illiterate country, extolled the virtues of Westernization, created reforms for
women, and promoted peaceful relationships with Europe and America. Though he
sometimes led the country in an autocratic way, he is still considered a
fantastic leader. He earned the respect of people like General MacArthur, and
has been honored by the United Nations, President Kennedy, Queen
Elizabeth II, by such world statesmen as Lloyd George, Churchill, Roosevelt,
Nehru, de Gaulle, Adenauer, Bourguiba, Nasser, and countless other world leaders (past and present) as a
true example of leadership, progressiveness, and social reform. A White House
statement, issued on the occasion of "The Ataturk Centennial" in 1981, pays
homage to him as "a great leader in times of war and peace". It is fitting that
there should be high praise for Ataturk, an extraordinary leader of modern
times.
Although Ataturk s vision of making Turkey a part of
West was not fully realized, it is far from being a complete failure. There is
no way and no use to compel the nation to return to the Ottoman
time.because today Turkey, close to her 90th
anniversary, founded in 1923, is significantly the oldest state
uninterruptedly surviving all the other states founded in
the 20th century.
With the seeds of democracy he planted, the nation he cultivated, endured
tribulations both from the inside and the outside for decades, some called him
fashist, some called him communist and others called him dictator. But his
people, disregarding what others said, called and is still calling him
Ataturk,
Father-Turk.

(1) The
latest promoted and youngest general of WW I. Admirable military leader and
revolutionar. His reversal of the Treaty of Sevres after the WW I is a
remarkable diplomacy. No twentieth-cenrury general had ay better battlefield
instincts, skill, or discipline, proving himself under fire at every level of
command. And certainly none so adroitly mixed revolutionary politics with
military
vision.

General. 2011.
Man muss mehr
unternehmen als nur eine Revolution, hatte Mustafa Kemal zu Arif und
Refet auf dem Schiff gesagt, das sie von
Konstantinopel nach Samsun brachte. Die Revolutionen verwandeln die
existierenden Staaten. Die Turkei existiert noch nicht. Man muss sie erst
schaffen. Am Ende seines Lebens konnte der Ghazi erklaren, dass er Wort
gehalten hatte. Wieviele Manner in der Geschichte konnen das von sich
behaupten?

He united his nation's
forces despair into high hopes, and challenged destiny until he succeded in
restoring to his national homeland its independence and sovereignty. To a
stunned world, Ataturk demonstrated what a nation is capable of doing if it is
prepared to choose death or enslavement. His immortal achievement will serve as
a shining example and a source of inspiration for those who guide the destiny of
the emerging and independent nations.

Kemal Ataturk, as the
founder of the Republic of Turkey, oriented the country toward of modernization,
followed the policy of peace and national independence and exerted every effort
to assure friendly relations, good neighborliness and cooperation between our
nations and people.
Nicollae CEAUCESCU.

It is an interesting
experiment which Kemal Pasha is working out here. He is a Tuirkish George
Washington, and irreverence to the father of our country to make this
comparison. Kemal Pasha is a great man.

Union
Ataturk s death is not only a loss for the country, but for Europe
is the greatest loss, he who saved Turkey in the war and who revived a new the
Turkish nation after the war. The sincere tears shed after him by all classes of
people is nothing other than an appropriate manifestation to this great hero and
modern Turkey's Ataturk. (1938)

Probably no other twentieth-century
leader did more for his country than Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. An inspiring and
visionary leader. As the Ottoman Empire crumbled, he faught to protect his
homeland, and out of the empire s ashes he created the modern nation of Turkey.
As a truly gifted and audacious military leader with a penetrating intellect,
keen battlefield instinct, and a genious for organizing and planning, his legacy
of military brilliance, strategic vision, and political modernization continiues
to inspire.

Bill CLINTON. (1947 - )
42nd US President (1992-2000)
In his message of congratulation to President Suleyman Demirel to
mark the 76th anniversary of foundation of Republic of Turkey.
Some people regarded Ataturk as a
dictator. I say this is wrong and such a thought will lead you on a wrong path.
Although the term dictator is well suited to Hitler and Mussolini, actually
there is no definition of a dictator. In this case, one may ask, why do you put
Ataturk aside from this term.
I have many reasons. First of all,
Ataturk was leading a scientific study for the times that he would not exist.
His intention was to develop a governmental and constitutional system that would
operate after him. He never forced his people to believe in his vision. Instead,
he tried to teach and explain his ideals to them. He had taken the decisive
power of his nation from the Great National Assembly at the time of the War of
Independence while he was planning the future with his friends. The members of
the Assembly were elected by the people. The President was elected every four
years and the Assembly had the power to rule as well as the power to pass laws.
Ataturk s respect for the Great National Assembly is important. His main concern
with the interior affairs was to create a living political organism with the
capability to react promptly to situations that might arise.
Alexander Frederick
DOUGLAS-HOME. (1903-1995).Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury

In
connection with the permanent memorial facility for Kemal Ataturk, I take pride
in presenting my congratulations to Turkey. Your great country that is advancing
on the course that he demonstrated has obtained very significant successes. This
ceremony that is being held to commemorate the memory of Ataturk, the architect
of progress and Turkish unity, is a very appropriate respect to a person who
became a source of inspiration to free peoples throughout the world.

EISENHOWER (1890-1969). President of the United States

The flow of history has brought together the
Ataturk Centennial and the process of rebirth in Turkey. We are witnessing the
awaikening of a country and the Republic, which Ataturk had saved and founded.
Horizons and hopes lie before us. It is a matter of conscience and an obligation
to our country to draw the lessons from the bitter experiences that Turkey has
gone through.

statesman and the contribution he has made to Western ideals and the promotion
of friendly relations between our countries.

M. Kemal Ataturk, the
great commander with extraordinary military carreer, an ardent nationalist, a soldier’s soldier with the instinct
of a political infighter, was personally fearless in combat and relentless
in his ability to drive his troops to victory. His savage counterattacks on the
Anzac beach head on April 25, 1015 catapulted him to international fame. His
successful fighting withdrawal under immense ennemy pressure in Palestine
in 1918 was his final military achievement.

independance by her own unaided forces.

He had created a new, fully independant Muslim nation in a world
dominated by Christian powers; triumphed in a war presented as an islamic
struggle against Western imperializm.
While Ataturk’s vision of making
Turkey a part of West was not fully realized, it is far from being a complete
failure. There is no way and no use to compel the nation to return to the
Ottoman time.

"Iron-Duke's" ash-colored deathly turrets that transported the Allied generals
for negotiations with Ismet Pasha, the Westerners had come here to beg for
peace, not to ask for peace or to dictate the conditions... These
negotiations demonstrate the end of Europe's dominance over Asia, because as
everyone knows, Mustafa Kemal got rid of all the Greeks.

He gains much more distincness as the WW I brought forth hardly
another statesman in comparaison with WW II. He extended his talent in strategy
snapping and fixing each aspect at the right time and at the right place. This
straight forward tremendous ability to recognise and fix the essentials made him
the unique general of Turkey in WW I. As commendor of the 6th army he forsaw the
landing of the Allied Forces by repelling them at the Dardanelles (April
1915 January 1916), which extended the war by two years and not only
changed the Europe’s future but also put the destiny of the nation on the right
course.

The 100th Anniversary of the
birth of Mustafa Kemal serves as an occasion for recalling the achievements of
this great statesman. Through his reforms, Ataturk created in his homeland a
national republic based on the principles of the sovereignty of the people,
democracy, and the freedom of coscience.
Karl
KARSTEN. (1914-1992). President of the Federal Republic of

The name of Ataturk
reminds people of the historical successes of one of the great individuals of
this century, the leadership that gave inspiration to the Turkish nation,
farsightedness in the understanding of the modern world and courage and power as
a military leader. It is without a doubt that another example can t be shown
indicating greater successes than the birth of the Turkish Republic and ever
since then Ataturk s and Turkey s broad and deep reforms undertaken as well as
the confidence of a nation in itself.
I am proud to attend to the 25th
Anniversary of the Memorial Ceremony of Ataturk s death. Ataturk reminds us of
many things. The historical success of great leaders of this century, leadership
that inspires the Turkish Nation, the supreme vision of the modern world, and as
a soldier, high determination and bravery. The birth of the Turkish Nation from
the ruins of a collapsing empire, New Turkey s declaration of its freedom and
independance in honour and protecting it since then are the work of Ataturk and
his Nation. There is no doubt that the revolutions he has carried out in his
country shows how the trust of a nation brings success. There is no other
example like this, November 10, 1963

I
am the child of a generation that knows closely Turkish-German friendship. At an
early age I saw a man's heroism's, the services he carried out and the
self-sacrifices he undertook for his country. This man was Mustafa Kemal. Today
I comprehend even better that this person was a great statesman. He was great,
because he used all his courage for his nation, his country to save his homeland
at an unlucky moment. He was great, because he directed his nation towards the
absolute necessity of adjusting them to the necessities of history. He was
great, because he always knew how to defend suitable limits and he did not go
beyond the limits that would put his work into danger. Courageousness and his
own courageousness was intelligent enough as well to be able to draw the
limits.

The
influence of
Ataturk's political and social ideas, and the accomplishments based on them has
been felt not only in his own country but in others which gained their
independence or undertaken to modernize their institutions in the years since
the WW I. He is regarded as a great statesman in the world at
large.
Frederick P. LATIMER Jr.
American historian. (in his book
The Political Philosophy of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk)
At this moment, I share the deep
sorrow of Turkey because of the loss of the great nationalist and great
statesman who devoted all his life to the freedom of his country. His mission,
both within blood and peace, will pass to all nations that are in sincere
relation with the Turkish Nation. The French Nation feels sorrow for this loss
that the Turkish Republic faces today.
Alber Francois LEBRUN. (1871-1950) French President
(1932-1940).
In a thousand years of the Middle Eastern
history, there was no more famous name than his. Mustafa Kemal's record has been
judged not only by his own people but also by millions in other parts of the
world.

LENGYEL. (1885-1974). ret. Prof. Author

Mustafa Kemal was not a socialist. But it can be
perceived that he is a good organizer, with great understanding, progressive,
with good thoughts and an intelligent leader. He is carrying out a war of
independence against those plunderers. I am believing that he will break the
pride of the imperialists and that he will beat the Sultan together with his
friends. (1921 )
Vladimir llyich
LENIN. (1870-1924). Leader of the Russian Revolution
Unlike so many national heroesMustafa Kemal Pasha had an exceptional conception
of things extending far beyond the immediate military issue and was aware of
fundamental changes in the whole structure of society and culture.
Bernard LEWIS. (1916 – ) American
historian, Prof. Emeritus Princeton University
Ataturk died in the service of the Turkish
people. A seldom leader in the world history
Sir Percy
LORAINE (1880-1961). British diplomat
Kemal Ataturk was moreover a great
strategist and a tireless worker. He had tremendous ability to lead his people
and to inspire their confidence. He is and will remain a guardian of the hopes
and anspirations of the rising Turkish generations.
In our times, it is
Ataturk who brought Turkey to its current status as a modern republic with his
farsighted and courageous political, social and economic reforms. At the same
time, it was also he that prepared the foundation of the modern economy that
will ensure today Turkey's attaining the strength to be able to enter the
European Economic Community.
Joseph LUNS, (1911-2001) Netherlands’ Minister of
Foreign Affairs (1952-1971), Secretary General of NATO (1971-1984)
He was a military-statesman, one of the greatest leaders of our era. He
ensured that Turkey got its rightful place among the most advanced nations.
Also, he gave the feeling of support and self-confidence to the Turks, that
forms the foundation stone of a nation's greatness. I take great pride in being
one of Ataturk's loyal friends.
General Douglas MacARTHUR
(1880-1964). Commander-in-Chief of the Far East Forces WW II,
U.S.A.
During his visit in
1932 in Istanbul Ataturk should have prophesied him not only the time,
1941-1945, of the WW II, but also its outcome in bold lines. The
Caucasus. 1955
(Why the publication 10
years after the WW II? Ataturk has never humiliated anyone, quite unimaginable,
specifically during the visit of his Prime Minister Ismet Inonu in Moscau in
1932. No indication about this prophesy at the MacArthur's Memorial and
Historical Center in Norfolk, Virginia)
Ataturk was a competent commander,
a shrewd politician, a statesman of supreme realism. But above all he was a
man of the Enlightenment. And the Enlightenment was not made by
saints.

Ataturk. 1999. Chaper 28. p.

The
most valuable criterion of a person's abilities is the acceptance of his
superiority in his field by friend and foe alike. Ataturk is a genious who has
achieved this.

Kemal Ataturk or Kemal
Pasha by which name we knew him in those times, was my hero during my youth. I
was very moved when I read about his great reforms. I met with great praise the
general efforts made by Ataturk on the course of modernizing Turkey. His
dynamism, undauntedness and unawareness of fatigue created a great effect on
people. He was one of the builders of the modern age in the orient. I continue
to be among his greatest admirers.

Ataturk hatte in den etwa
anderthalb Jahrzehnten seiner Prasidentenschaft das Land so stark hinter sich

Minoritaten, die sich unter ihm sicher und kaum mehr diskriminiert gefuhlt

I obtained information
concerning Mustafa Kemal from someone who knows him very well. When talking with
Foreign Minister Litvinov of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, he said
that in his opinion, the most valuable and interesting statesman in all of
Europe does not live in Europe today, but beyond the Bosphorus, he lives in
Ankara, and that this was the President of the Turkish Republic, Gazi Mustafa
Kemal Ataturk.

In den 15 Jahren seiner
Praesidentenschaft praegte Ataturk seinen eigenen Stil. Er war weder der kranke
Mann, der sich auf Bajonette stutzt, der durch ein pronunciamento zur
Macht gelangte politisierende General spanisch-sudamerikanischer Praegung, noch
auch von der sozialistischen Massenbewegung herkommende Volkstribun wie
Mussolini. Er unterschied sich von jeglichen Despoten, indem er, wie ein
Hellseher, den Sinn fur Mass und Grenzen genau kannte.

(3)Schoolboys in Europe are at present taught in their lessons on contemporary history, that
one of the victories of the Entente at the end of 1918 was the victory over
Turkey. Now, the truth is, that if the victor is the country that gains
everything in the treaty of piece at Lausanne, and the defeated are those
who lose all the privileges they enjoyed in that country before the war,
there is no doubt that it is Turkey which had won the war against us.

Ataturk is a fresh and a brave leader because he did not get involved
with the beliefs of old. We can say that he is the most powerful statesman of
Europe today and there is no doubt that he is the most corageous and original
statesman of all.

This remarkable Turk has made Turkey
once more proud after her race, her history and her language and vastly more
hopeful than she has been for centuries. A serious warrior,
strong, confident, thoughtful, hard and straightforward, he was a kind and
gentle statesman as well as a perfect President. Every Ambassador felt
honoured to be representant of his own country during his presidential era.

Ataturk
besass solch eine Wirkung auf die Menschen, die ihm begegneten, dass er alles in
seiner Umgebung verändern konnte. Es gab auch andere Menschen, die diese Wirkung
empfanden. Interessanterweise ist einer dieser Menschen Lloyd George, den
Ataturk im Schlachtfeld besiegt hatte. Aber diese Wirkungskraft von Ataturk
besass eine besondere Eigenschaft, die auch lange Zeit so in Erinnerung
blieb.
Norman STONE. Prof.
of Oxford and Bilkent University. Ataturk, das Erwachen einer
Nation. 23.11.2009
But, of course, President Ataturk,
I suppose was one of the early great generals and of course, it was partly his
brilliance on the peninsula of Gallipoli that held the day and then he was very
generous and magnaminous in victory and later, when President, said to those who
came to visit the scene as a memorial that they had left their sons there and
they were buried there and beautifully looked after but that Turkey regarded
them as her sons now and they were all friends now and it is very remarkable
that we are staunch allies now and in NATO together have kept the peace for
forty years and we must continue to be staunch allies.
The work of Ataturk as a great statesman and the founder of
modernTurkey is wisely recognized in Britain. As Turkey's first president he
became a close and respected friend of Britain. We salute his memory and wish
all fortune to Turkey and her people.
Margaret THETCHER (1925-) Prime Minister of Great
Britain. Remarks arriving in
Istanbul. 1990 Apr 24 Tu
In
the 1920s Kemal Ataturk put through what was perhaps as revolutionary a program
as has ever been carried out in any country deliberately and systematically in
so short a span of time. It was as in our Western world, the Renaissance, the
Reformation, the secularist revolution at the end of the 17th century, the
French revolution and the industrial revolution had all been telescoped into a
single lifetime and been made compulsory by law.
There were no concentration camps. And once the special tribunals had
been disbanded, there were no show trials, no purges that exiled or murdered
hundreds of thousands of people.
Arnold TOYNBEE. (1889-1975). British
historian
In the life of a nation
it is very seldom that changes to such a radical degree were carried out in such
a short period of time... Without a doubt, those who have done these
extraordinary activities have earned the attributes of a great man in the
complete sense of the word. And because of this, Turkey can be proud of itself.

lost her great creator, a nation its great Chief and humanity a great son. We

affliction is our attachment to his great work.
Ataturk had
the confidence of the Turkish people. The continuation of his work he bequeathed

1938. The date Ataturk died on.
Ataturk s state funeral was an
event such as the country had never seen before. Specifically in that very
critical year 1938, the eve of the most fatal, gruesam, disastrous, scary,
dreadful, horrific, terrifying Second World War, as the whole world crucially
balanced on the razor s edge, seventeen countries had sent special brass
representatives, nine contributed armed detachments to the cortege to
parade in front of his coffin, that the world has never witnessed in the
history.

in Amsterdam-Noord. Zij waren hier naar toe gehaald om te werken in de
Fordfabriek en de scheepswerven van NDSM. De gastarbeiders woonden in houten
barakken ten noorden van de Klaprozenweg, nu de straat Atatürk, die in de
volksmond Turksedorp heette. Ter herinnering hieraan staat op die plek een
monument voor Kemal Ataturk. Op het gedenkteken staat de tekst Vrede in huis,
vrede in de wereld in het Turks en in het Nederlands. Op dit moment telt
Amsterdam zon 40.000 Turkse Nederlanders.(2012)
