He did not do it, Infact he was trying to change it. His own daugher and wife also use scarfs.

Hi all!

I strongly believe that Turkey should follow kemalizm. Mustafa Kemal build this country, he made something different to the rest of the muslim world. Ataturk provided Turkey with it's own, independent and specific direction. He changed ideology of osmanism and islamizm into turkism. Turkism is the only one way, how Turkey can develop even more and survive in our controversial world.

We all should respect our identity and our religion believes, but for me , the national interests of my country is the number 1 priority. I will fight for my country and identity,but I will never fight for any religion. It is different thing. And huge thanks and respect to Mustafa Kemal Ataturk who build such patriotic believies, and not only in Turkey but also in my country in Azerbaijan Republic.

Merhaba Gardesh!

"Dont forget TRNC"

of course Osmanli, how could I forgot our brothers in cypris. there are three turk countries in the world which were build based on ideology of Ataturk - Turkey,Azerbaijan and Cypris Turk Republic. Unfortunately turkic central asian republics has nothing to do with it, they are too much under russian influence.

When I say turk, I mean millions of anatolian and azeri turks who has different etnic roots. They can have turcic root, musavi roots,armenian,albanian,yunan and others. But Mustafa Kemal put citizenship in the first place and this brought turkey and turkish sociaty in a totally different place in the whole muslim world.

About Islam in turkish world.

Islam is our faith. We are believe and respect our faith. Some people follow religion rules, some not. And this is the main achivement of the modern Turkey and Azerbaijan and Cypris. We can't forse people to be more or less religion in their personnel life. But there is a huge difference when we speak about government and consitutation, because all three mentioned countries are secular states, which means that everyone in state organisations, schools, universities are equal and there is no dominations of one religion on others. This is right and I respect this.

If someone want to follow religion rules in his/her personnel life, thats fine, but this should be stopped when he or she interface with other people such as students, children soldiers and others. This is a basic funadament of secular state.

Do I against if for example Erdogan go to mosque for pray????...Of course not. It's his choise and it is his personnel life, and more over I will respect everyone who do such things. But if Erdogan as a PM of the Turkey starts to influence basic constituational rights or spread his religion believes on TV or in other meetins, I 100% against it. Simple, because he breaks fundament of turkish state.

Army. Every single turk in the world should respect turkish army which was build by Ataturk, and everyone should remember that the present existance of Turkey, Azerbaijan and Cypris is made by turkish army. I will never forget 18,000 turk soldiers who died in 1918-19 in Azerbaijan, when they came to help azeri-turks with their fight for independance. It was a most difficult time for Turkey itself, but they send Nuru_pasha and his army to fight against russian bolhseviks and armenian dashnaks who wanted to destroyed and masacre azeri people. Neither me or any other azeri will ever forget this.

Turkish army is a garant of secular state and it's a most important heritage of turkish nation.

Turkey and muslim world.

Of course by the origin Turkey is acountry with predomenatly muslim population. This is great. Muslim religion is a great religion until it's not became a dangerous toy in a dirty hands. It's the same story with other religions as well. There is no bad or good religion, there is no bad or good nations, there is bad or good people.

Turkey has it's rich history and widely respected history. The Ottoman empire was one of the greatest empire in the world, but at the end it's became dependent on european nations and became to be a toy in british hands. It is history and true, what's why Ataturk was a person in right time, right place and with right ideas.

And one more thing, we can never compare turks with the rest of muslim nations. You know why???....Because turks is only one major muslim nation which was never be a colony of Europe. turks were never be colonised by europeans. They build their own empire and they colonised europeans as well. This is what most of conservative europeans will never forget. Same about arabs, who were under turkish rule more than 500 years.

I am proud to be turk.

cheers.

My vote goes ,typically, to Mahathir Mohamad.

Best proof of his work is Malaysia today.
