CHAIRMAn’S COMMENTS Atatürk’s Exemplary Foreign Policy based on Independence, Westernization, and Realism hen contemplating Atatürk’s foreign policy, one adage comes to mind; “peace at home, peace in the world.” Having liberated Turkish lands from foreign occupation, Atatürk was not interested in territorial expansion. He knew that in order to reach the goals he envisioned for his country, moder- Wnity, economic success, independence, and secularism, he had to concentrate on develop- ments within the country. Atatürk pursued realistic policies. While adamant about the necessity to strengthen and Hudai Yavalar modernize the Turkish state, Atatürk never aimed to unite the Turks living outside of Tur- Chairman, Founding President key. “We know our limitations. We are not worldly minded. There are many of our co- religionists who are groaning under the afflictions of slavery. It is one of our greatest wishes that they too will acquire independence and will attempt to achieve prosperity and progress for their countries through complete independence.” Mustafa Kemal’s main goal was the establishment of a completely independent Turkey, free of all foreign intervention and interferences. He rejected all suggestions of being under the mandate of a great state, and was very mindful of the dangers of imperialism. While the Bolsheviks were very helpful to Atatürk during the War of Independence, he did not embrace communism. He opined “Communism is a social matter. The current situation of our country, its social conditions, and the strength of its religious and na- tional traditions confirm the opinion that Communism, as practiced in Russia, could not be put into practice in our country.” Turkey’s western-inclined foreign policy went hand in hand with its attempts to mod- ernize itself. Atatürk equated modernization with westernization. At the end of the War of liberation in 1923 he stated: “All of our efforts are directed toward the establishment of a modern, therefore western, government. Has there been a nation which has desired to be civilized, but which has not turned towards the West.?” He added “In keeping with our policies, our traditions, and our interests, we are inclined to the establishment of a European Turkey, or to be more precise, a Turkey inclined toward the West.” Turkey established normal political relations with the west in the 1930s. This normaliza- tion of relations formed the basis of the military and political cooperation following World War II, such as the Council of Europe, the OECD, and NATO. Having fought a brutal war of independence, Atatürk sympathized with colonized coun- tries, and wanted Turkey to serve as a role model. Indeed, Mohammed Ali Jinnah of Paki- stan, Habib Bourguiba of Tunisia, and Sir Abdurrahim, President of the Indian Parliament all cited Atatürk’s character and accomplishments as an inspiration for their own national struggles. An avid reader, Atatürk was keenly aware of international developments, and kept in mind national and international realities, which helped to preserve the country’s indepen- dence. After independence, Turkey found itself to be surrounded by powerful countries such as the Soviet Union, England (because of its mandate in Iraq), France (because of continued on page 4 SPRING’08 | VOICE OF ATATÜRK 3 continued from page 3 its mandate in Syria),and Italy (which occupied the Dode- ghanistan and Iraq.

  • Transformation from Tent to Room: Room of Traditional Turkish House
    IJASOS- International E-Journal of Advances in Social Sciences, Vol. III, Issue 9, December 2017 TRANSFORMATION FROM TENT TO ROOM: ROOM OF TRADITIONAL TURKISH HOUSE Deniz Demirarslan Ass.Prof Dr.,Kocaeli University, TURKEY, [email protected] Abstract The room has a function of nucleus in the formation of Turkish House which has an important place in the sense of traditional residence features in the world and the planning of this residence begins with room. Therefore, this residence is a phenomenon that develops from inner space through outer space. The formation of the room of traditional Turkish house is influenced by various elements. On top of them there come the requirements of nomads and Turkish-Islamic life style. The effects of these are clearly observed in the architectural design and decoration of the room which is shaped by the features of traditional life and bestows its design characteristics from nomad tent. Before immigrating to Anatolia from 11th century A.D., Turks have lived mostly a nomadic life in Middle Asia. Therefore, just like in other Middle Asia cultures; Turks have lived in temporary shelters. After settling in Anatolia and before that after accepting Islam; Turks have started to lead a sedentary life and formed a new living culture with the effect of various Anatolian civilizations, notably the Byzantines. In this way, a type of residence which is built in Anatolia, Balkans and Caucasus in the period of Ottoman Empire has emerged. The room of this type of house which lasted from 15th century to the second half of 19th century forms the nucleus of design.

The Jasmine Revolution of 2011, which many hoped would result in peace and democracy in the Arab world, instead brought chaos and violence, eventually dragging Syria into a still-ongoing civil war. One of the most worrying issues centers on Muslim youth who are grappling with problems in their respective countries but they have no inspiring role models. These youth are seeking viable alternatives, a “way out” of their accumulated anger and frustration. In the absence of such alternatives, some fall prey to extremist groups like ISIS.

  • Mustafa Kemal's Unique Role in the World History
    MUSTAFA KEMAL'S UNIQUE ROLE IN THE WORLD HISTORY N. A. BALOCH* Mustafa Kemal is one of those great figures of the vvorld, who changed the destiny of their people and left on abiding impression on the comity of nations. He was the first and the most successful freedom fighter to generate hope for those nations who vvere under the European colonisation and to set the example of national liberation, freedom and development. With his great intelligence, boundless patriotism, profound wisdom and great energy, he succeeded where others are likely to have failed. His capacity for leadership and politics, crowned his efforts with success and he united his people in creating a nevv, progressive and proud nation, Modern Turkey. For the Turks, Mustafa Kemal was a liberator, a great reformer and builder of Modern Turkey. He revitalized the weak nerves of the nation with his genious, and imbued the new generations with patriotism, and urge for progress. He was the harbinger of a new awakening, heralder of freedom in Asia: under his leadership the war of independence of Turkey sounded the death-knell of colonialism in Asia. He stood firm like a rock against the designs of the great vvorld povvers of the day. Before discussing Mustafa Kemal's Unique Role in the World History, it is necessary to analyse the factors leading to the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire, vvhich at one time possessed vast territories in Europe, Asia and Africa, and had played for five centuries a predominant part in the political and military history of the Mediterranean region, of the Balkans, and of south eastern Europe, was at the mercy of the European povvers.
