one daughter?

the reason I was asking is that I have recently read in a Russian newspaper, that the adopted daughter was actually an Armenian orphan?

Rumour has it that Mustafa Kemal had a son, Abdurrahim.
 
 
Check the following link for more information (Turkish):
 
I will try to find some sources in English or more Turkish ones later.
 
Has anybody else heard about Abdurrahim?

Her name was Sabiha Gkcen. Also known as 'the first female aviator of the world'.

Hrriyet (Turkish Newspaper) claimed that she was of Armenian descendant as well.

I don't know about other children though.

No Hurriyet did not claim something like this. Hurriyet has made a news about Sabiha Gokcen just after she died and wrote about claims of some Armenians.
 
It is very strange that they are claiming something like this after she died. In fact her family is known. They are from Bursa and they are Turks.

I have never heard of any Armenian claims about her. As stated earlier, I have read in a Russian newspaper one of Ataturk's daughters was supposably Armenian. It might have been Sabiha or it might not have.

According to Wikipedia, Dr. Hans-Lukas Kieser a swiss historian wrote about her Armenian origins.

Also

In February, the Hurriyet newspaper's publication of a report that Sabiha Gokcen--an adopted daughter of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who was the country's first female pilot--was of Armenian descent drew a number of racist public statements. The Turkish General Staff issued a statement criticizing the reports on Gokcen's Armenian ancestry as "a claim that abuses national values and feelings" while the Turkish Air Association called the report "an insult" to Gokcen and to Ataturk.

Ataturk adopted 9 kids..Smile

He placed a very high value on kids...probably more than any other world leader..

because every year 20th April is celebrated as the Kid's Bayram in Turkey. That date actually marks the opening of the Turkish Grand Assembly..But Ataturk dedicated this day to the children.

.Every year hundreds of children around the world  come to Turkey that time to clebrate this kids bayram :)

Idiots.

Ataturk had light hair and blue eyes. Hardly Central Asian Turkic if you ask me.

Even the very definition of 'race' is quite unclear.

I agree.Ataturk is a great person and an icon only in turkey.Other turk tribes dont consider him as their national hero.They even dont care about him.
It is only the dead who have seen the end of war.
