70th Anniversary Of His Departure, 10th of November

[LeftEyeNine]

It's November the 10th again, after 70 years without his presence, we are definitely missing his premature departure, apparently unable to have understood his principles and internalize his ideals for the country and the people he never hesitated to express his admiration for.

To the man who struggled both on the battlefield and in the parliament that put us in front of many civilizations with his revolutions and vision not whom we were told to aim to reach had not demonstrated yet.

To the man who planned, fought for and leaded to our freedom, who gave our women of what they had been stolen as individuals, who was the first one to present a festival for children, who was thoughtful and kind -as brave as he was on the battlefield- that could order a Greek flag to be picked up from the ground,

Most of all, to the man who always wished what we all still wish for:

" Peace at home, peace all over the world "

We have not forgotten you nor your ideals and are dedicated to enforce our way through.

Gentlemen, it is 70th anniversary of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's passing away.

Here is a gallery of his seldom seen pictures in case you are interested.
