 | 19 May Celebrations in Turkey - 19 Mayis Kutlamalari Remembrance of Ataturk, Youth and Sports Day is celebrated in Turkey on May 19, 2007 as it has been for years to commemorate Ataturk's initiation of the Turkish Independence War on May 19, 1919 when he arrived in Samsun, a beautiful city on the coast of Black Sea in northern Turkey. Ataturk later said that he was born on May 19 to emphasize significance of the day for him - and in fact for all Turks. This year's celebrations are particularly important since the country struggles to maintain its fundamental ideals set forth by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. The current Islamic AKP government in Turkey, although perceived successful from the outside, has been consistently undermining the secular structure of the state by using every means it has in its hands as the governing body. Their ultimate goal is to establish an Islamic government in Turkey run by mullahs. Free-spirited Turkish people fed up with AKP's relentless assault on country's secular establishment, have organized several mass protests across Turkey. Millions attended each of these peaceful meetings which were accurately called Festivals of the Republic (Cumhuriyet Mitingi). Many women's organizations led the effort to organize these peaceful protests, which turned into celebrations of the republic, democracy and secularism. Hundreds of NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) participated and no political party was allowed to turn them into political rallies. Turks loudly voiced their opposition to running their country based on religious beliefs. Although majority of the participants are Muslim, and respect and practice the Islamic faith, they nevertheless do not want their governments run by religious rules. Fearless Turks showed the world they were not to be told what to do and how to live their lives. Ben ezelden beridir hur yasadim hur yasarim Hangi cilgin bana zincir vuracakmis sasarim The clip uses two quotes by Ataturk. The first is about his claim that he was born on May 19, and the other is his saying: "All of my hopes are on the younger generations." Most of the scenery is from the celebrations held in Ankara and Ataturk's Mausoleum which is also in Ankara. President Ahmet Necdet Sezer and his modern and elegant wife host the ceremonies as Head of State. The music is a new version of the Vatan Marsi. VATAN MARŞI Başka bir aşk istemez, aşkınla çarpan kalbimiz, Ey vatan gözyaşların dinsin, yetiştik çünkü biz. Gül ki sen, neş'enle gülsün ay, güneş, toprak, deniz. Ey vatan gözyaşların dinsin, yetiştik çünkü biz. Bir güneştin bir zamanlar, ay kadar kaldındı dün, Dün bir aydın, sislenen boşlukta yıldızsın bugün; Benzin uçmuş bak, ne rüyadır bu akşam gördüğün? Ey vatan gözyaşların dinsin, yetiştik çünkü biz. Beklesin Türkoğlu'nun azminde kuvvet bulmayan, Sel durur, yangın söner elbette bir gün ey vatan, Süslenir, oynar yarin, dün ağlayıp matem tutan, Ey vatan gözyaşların dinsin, yetiştik çünkü biz.

 | Blood and Oil - Middle East in WWI Pt 19: Turkey Fights Back Part 19 - Turkey Fights Back. Turkish forces under General Kazim Karibakir go on the offensive against Armenia in October 1919. They capture the city of Kars on October 21st and steadily push the Armenians back toward Yerevan in the Caucasus. Establishing a new nationalist government at Ankara in April 1920, Mustafa Kemal and his generals pursue their offensive against Armenian forces in eastern Turkey. On December 3, 1920, the Kemalist government signs a peace treaty with Armenia and hostilities are officially ended. Except for the Dardanelles/Gallipoli campaigns, the extensive combat operations in the Middle East during World War I have been largely overlooked in documentary programs. Given the historical significance of the Ottoman Empire's demise in 1918, and the ongoing importance of Middle Eastern oil reserves to Western economies, a close study of this conflict provides two important lessons: 1. The Treaty of Versailles, agreed to by the Western Powers in 1919, paved the way for military and political chaos in the Middle East, which continues to this very day. 2. Oil reserves in the Middle East became an important strategic concern for Western Powers, helping to justify their economic, diplomatic and military interference in the region. After the end of World War I, most of the Ottoman Empire was carved up into "spheres of influence", controlled mostly by the British and French. The remaining territories became the modern state of Turkey in 1923 -- after a five-year struggle by Turkish nationalists against Western domination. With little regard for cultural, historical, religious and demographic considerations, the West sponsored the creation of several new nations: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Thus, a "tinderbox" was built from Western greed, igniting a multitude of wars, revolts, coups and military occupations that truly have made the defeat of the Ottoman Empire little more than a hollow victory.

 | Who is Ataturk? http://www.dehax.com Atatürk was born in 1881 in the Ottoman city of Selânik (modern-day Thessaloniki, Greece), the son of a minor official who became a timber merchant. In accordance with then-prevalent Turkish custom, he was given a single name, Mustafa. His father, Ali Rıza Efendi, was a customs officer who died when Mustafa Kemal was seven, leaving his mother Zübeyde Hanım to raise the young Mustafa. When Atatürk was 12 years old, he went to military schools in Selânik and Manastır (present-day Bitola, Republic of Macedonia), centres of discontent towards the Ottoman administration. Mustafa studied at the military secondary school in Selânik, where the additional name Kemal ("perfection" or "maturity", not an uncommon name) was given to him by his mathematics teacher in recognition of his academic excellence.[3] Mustafa Kemal entered the military academy at Manastır in 1895. He graduated as a lieutenant in 1905 and was posted to Damascus under the command of the 5th Army. There he soon joined a small secret revolutionary society of reform-minded officers called Vatan ve Hürriyet (Motherland and Liberty) and became an active opponent of the Ottoman regime. In 1907, he attained the rank of captain and was posted to the 3rd Army in Manastır. During this period he joined the Committee of Union and Progress, commonly known as the Young Turks. The Young Turks seized power from the Sultan Abdul-Hamid II in 1908, and Mustafa Kemal became a senior military figure. In 1910, Atatürk took part in the Picardie army maneuvers in France, and in 1911, served at the Ministry of War in Istanbul. Later in 1911, he was posted to the province of Trablusgarp (the present Libya) to fight against the Italian invasion. Following the successful defense of Tobruk on December 22, 1911, he was appointed the commander of Derne on March 6, 1912. He returned to Istanbul following the outbreak of the Balkan Wars in October 1912. During the First Balkan War, he fought against the Bulgarian army at Gallipoli and Bolayır on the coast of Thrace, and played a crucial role in the recapture of Edirne and Didymoteicho during the Second Balkan War. In 1913, he was appointed military attaché to Sofia, partly to remove him from the capital and its political intrigues, and was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1914. In 1914, the German Marshal Otto Liman von Sanders was assigned by the defence of the Dardanelles in command of the 5th Army. Mustafa Kemal was then promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and given the task of organizing and commanding the 19th Division attached to 5th Army. With his division stationed in Gallipoli, Mustafa Kemal found himself at the centre of the Allies' attempt to force their way onto the peninsula. On 8 January 1915, the British War Council launched an operation "to bombard and take the Gallipoli peninsula with Istanbul as its objective". Between 19-25 February, during an initial British scouting, a sergeant named "Mehmet" rushed a British sailor with a rock when his rifle jammed. Mustafa Kemal publicized this incident to improve the morale of his soldiers and gave birth to the term "Mehmetçik", which is used today as a nickname for Turkish soldiers. Mustafa Kemal, by holding off the allied forces at Chunuk Bair, earned the rank of Colonel during these first stages of landings. The second stage of the Gallipoli campaign, which was opened on August 6, put Mustafa Kemal only three hundred meters (0.18 miles) away from the firing line. He was the commander at many major battles like Battle of Chunuk Bair, Battle of Scimitar Hill, Battle of Sari Bair, and during the Landing at Anzac Cove. On 25 April 1915 (Anzac Cove), he met the enemy in the hills, held them, and retook the high ground. Largely owing to him and his command the Australian and New Zealand forces were contained, and the landing force failed to reach its objectives.[4] Mustafa Kemal told his troopsThe evacuation was the greatest Allied success; on the Ottoman Empire side Halil Sami (9th division) at Cape Helles, Esat Bülkat (III Corps), Yakup Şevki Subaşı (XV Corps), Otto Liman von Sanders (5th Army) and Enver Pasha (Minister of War) had significant achievements based on their role toward the defense of straits. However, Mustafa Kemal became the outstanding front-line commander and gained much respect from his former enemies for his chivalry in victory. The Mustafa Kemal Atatürk Memorial has an honoured place on ANZAC Parade in Canberra, Australia. Mustafa Kemal's commemorating speech on the loss of thousands of Turkish and Anzac soldiers in Gallipoli stays at Anzac Cove. |
