I, hereby, want to indicate my grief for the greatest loss Turkey ever had in his birth years, for the man he owes his birth to -Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
One of the greatest statesmen, commander, revolutionist of all the time died on November 10, 1938.
If you have an idea about what he did and want to share the grief, please join in. I did not open this thread for a Turk-bash opportunity -if you somehow don't like the man, avoid flaming please, PM me instead.
Regards.
For his efforts at reconciliation, and his actions to create a modern, democratic and secular state from the ashes of the Ottoman Empire, I, too, salute him. :bow:Quote:
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives... you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets where they lie side by side here in this country of ours... You the mothers who sent your sons from far away countries, wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. Having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
That should be what he had said for the Anzacs died in Canakkale defense.
:bow:
My thoughts are with him. Was a great man and he did great things. Truly one of the great leaders of the 19/20th century
An insperational character, rest his soul. :shame:
A great leader.
:bow:
CR
Here's Ataturk's Wiki page, for anyone who isn't familiar with the great man.
The 10th of November is not only well remembered it is celebrated every year. Its the birthday of the United States Marine Corps. Happy birthday to all my fellow Marines out there.Quote:

He was quite a man, and achieved greatness. Made a few blunders though that cost millions of lives - but you can't create an omlette without a fair bit of slaughtering.
Let me hear it, please ?Quote:

P.S.
This is nothing personal. Turkiye is 3rd (or 4th) most popular tourist destination among Serbs and Istanbul is very attractive for weekend shopping among merchants and ordinary citizens of Serbia.:balloon2:
When something includes the word "Turk", it somehow evolves into either EU, or Armenian Lies, or kebab. SO off-topicness is a Turkish quality.
What's your point ? Did Turks do genocide again? When what how?Quote:

Kurds live on equal life standards, if not better, in Turkey with anyone else. Numerous parliamenters right now are Kurd, Internal Affairs minister is Kurd, once prime minister and president Turgut Özal was Kurd, one of the most known singers in Turkey, İbrahim Tatlıses is Kurd, poet/writer/actor Yılmaz Erdoğan is Kurd, and there are millions of examples to that. What oppression is that are you speaking of? Why do foreigners love clicking through websites and jump to conclusions? What was that Serbians did to Bosnians? Do trials change the fact that you slaughtered Bosnians? While you have a mount of dirt in front of your door, why complaining about the neighbor's?
Do you know what PKK is? Have you ever heard about 30.000 loss of Turks?
How cute. Let's attach flowers to our heads and dance. I love it the European way.Quote:
