What they have said about Ataturk
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, U.S. President 1937
“I obtained information concerning Mustafa Kemal from someone who knows him very well. When talking with Foreign Minister Litvinov of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, he said that in his opinion, the most valuable and interesting statesman in all of Europe does not live in Europe today, but beyond the Bosphorus, he lives in Ankara, and that this was the President of the Turkish Republic, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. ”
Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of United Kingdom, 1938

The sincere tears shed after him by all classes of people is nothing other than an appropriate manifestation to this great hero and modern Turkey`s Ata. ”
