    Yes, it was Ataturk's vision about using the Latin alphabet. That makes sense because a hero is a hero sice he possesses an accurate vision. It was pretty difficult for Turks to handle their language in Arabic writing, and with his excellent vision, Ataturk declared that Turkish can be well expressed with Latin alphabet.

    The adoption of new alphabet brought some exclusive letters that is not used in most of the countries that use Latin alphabet. And that explains that it was not just copying the Western, it was all about fitting the Turkish in the best suit available.
