  1. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk did not know the date of his birth and he chose the date of May 19, since it was on May 19, 1919 that the Turkish people began their struggle for liberation and independence.

    *Yaşa Mustafa Kemal Paşa, yaşa!*

  2. A man with very different ideas for Türkiye than Erdogan. Positive aspects include he was a proponent of a secular and modernised state. Had the country developpedore in this way, it might have been integrated in EU, making us all stronger and more prosperous.

  3. *Yaşa Mustafa Kemal Paşa, yaşa! Adın yazılacak mücevher taşa!*

    Thank you for everything you’ve given us, father…

  4. And is spinning in his grave with what is happening to Turkey today!
