Ataturk: Father of The Turks

In 1923, from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire, came a series of reforms that would reshape the land into the modern Republic of Türkiye. And the chief architect of this shift was Mustafa Kemal. The surname Ataturk was added and literally means “Father of the Turks.” He is revered across the land and his picture is everywhere. There would be no Türkiye without him. We stopped to see his final resting place in Ankara, spend time in his museum and witness the changing of the guard. It was all quite fascinating, but I’ll save you the history lesson for later!もっと詳しく
