We Are Following In Your Footsteps Atatürk“You turn your country into the avant-garde outpost of transoceanic states, equip your borders with American bases; you surrender your country's economy to the tentacular arms of international monopolies; you establish secret gangs to make brothers fight against each other; then you rise, shamelessly and without remorse, engaging in political deception by saying, 'We are following in the footsteps of our founder; we are protecting the Republic.”
