Mustafa Kemal the founder of the Turkish Republic and its first President, stands as a towering figure of the 20th Century. Among the great leaders of history, few have achieved so much in so short period inspiration to the world at large.
As President for 15 years, until his death in 1938, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk introduced a broad range of swift and sweeping reforms- in the political, social,legal,economic, amd cultural sphere-virtually unparalleled in any other country.
His achievements in Turkey are an enduring monument to Ataturk. Emerging nations admire him as a pioneer of national liberation. The world honors his memory as a foremost peacemaker who upheld the princeples of humanism and the vision os a united humanity.
Tributes have been offered to him through the decades by such world statsmen as Lioyd George, issued on the occasion of "The Ataturk Centennial" on 1981, pays homage to him as " a great leader in times of war and peace" it is fiting that there should be high praise for Ataturk, an extraordinary leader of modern times, who said in 1933." i look to the world with an open heartfull of pure feelings and friendship.
