Opinion of Kemalism

[Antonio the Sixth]

I mean yeah, it's easy to understand why the Turks reacted this way and why Atatürk was the kind of leader they wanted, but if it's not OK for Germany to react to the Versailles treaty by invading Czechoslovakia and Poland, it certainly wasn't OK for Turkey to react to Sèvres by invading Armenia and Kurdistan.

Also, Istanbul wasn't given to Greece, only Eastern Thrace and Asia Minor.

Lol, I've misread the map.

Of course I'm not saying it was "OK", but Turkey really got it worse than Germany, for example. If I were living in Turkey at the time, I can see myself totally sharing certain outlook.

FF on balance. But I disagree overall with the steps he has done re:the press.
This is natural of course. Because I loathe that piece of garbage Kemal Ataturk.

With this in mind I vote Freedom Ideology .
