Which Atatürk?

Here is the “Which Atatürk?” dossier prepared by Rıdvan Akar

No matter what he did, no matter how selflessly he served his country, and even if he were to be remembered for founding or saving that nation, history would be the one to pass the final judgment. He would either become a name gradually fading into the forgetful memory of history, or he would shine like a precious jewel engraved in history’s steel vault. History would be the ultimate judge. Years passed, and Turkey came to know pluralistic democracy, military coups, economic upheavals, technology, the world, and modernization. But it never gave up on him.
