Ataturk: Father of the Turks
He is the person who didn't care about himself and did everything he can do for peace, respect, freedom.
I never consider him as a dead personality he is someone alive with his ideas which will never become old.
Ataturk is a person which can not be defined by words for me. therefore i don't want to say he did that he did this. Such a charismatic, intelligent leader. First of all a good man.
Peace in the nation peace in the world. (one of his sayings)

`Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (1881 – November 10, 1938) was an army officer, revolutionary statesman, the founder of the Republic of Turkey and its first President.
Mustafa Kemal established himself as a successful military commander while serving as a division commander in the Battle of Gallipoli during World War I. Following the defeat of the Ottoman Empire at the hands of the Allies, and the subsequent plans for its partition, Mustafa Kemal led the Turkish national movement in what would become the Turkish War of Independence. His successful military campaigns led to the liberation of the country and to the establishment of the Republic of Turkey.
Mustafa Kemal implemented sweeping reforms, known as Atatürk's Reforms, in the political, economic and cultural aspects of life in Turkey with the perspectives defined in the Kemalist ideology that sought to create a modern, democratic and secular state based on Western principles of governance.` http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ataturk
He esablished new Turkish Republic after Ottoman Empire
He is realy important person for Turkey... He died in 1938 but every Turkish people know, love and proud of him. .

Ataturk is the reason why turkey is the most modern and democratic country with a muslim majority. And a great character, not like dictators and strongmen, he was a people's man. This is the reason why 99% of turkish population is thankful to him. He is one of the reasons I consider myself lucky to be born here.

How dare you? Anybody in the world don't know about Ataturk, the great leader? A strange question, since he is on the currency so he is the most to deserve that, please check history very well
