I’ve travelled much…
I visited Turkey, starting with Istanbul (which my grandmother always called Constantinopla) and I began to learn about the country’s history…
I learned that Atatürk was a great man. Should have been honoured as “Man of the Century “…
He created a secular and democratic nation from a part of what had been the Ottoman Empire…
He wanted his fellow Turks to look to the West…
I have read about him and greatly admire him.
I suggest, if you like history and you want to get to know some of those that have made history in outstanding manners, that you read more about Atatürk…
I leave you with this short video I made a few years ago:

Ataturk is a model that I wish more men in the Middle East would emulate.

The world needs more leaders like him today. Thanks for this reminder about Ataturk, Francis.

Yes, that is true Janet, lamentably there are none like him that I can think of, at the time…
Thank you and all the best.
