It was Mustafa Kemal Pasha (called Ataturk/ Father of Turks) who authored and founded the modern Republic of Turkey and serving as its first president in 1923-1938. As a secularist and nationalist he literally dragged Turkey from its Ottoman abyss to turn it into a modern westernised state.
After the defeat of the Ottomans, he withstood further onslaughts by the Allies and founded the Turkish Republic. He did so, by completely ERADICATING all forms of Sharia under the constitution thus liberating all the women of Turkey and allowing all citizens freedom to create, explore, invent and succeed as individuals. He terminated the total authority that the Imams held over the citizens for 500 years. He removed the Arabic script and replaced it with European alpha-bet. Ataturk initiated the most vigorous and modernising programs: Political, Economic, Educational, Religious, Civil and Cultural.
In 2002, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan‘s AKP wins the majority of seats in the parliamentary elections, and he is appointed prime minister. On August 10, 2014 – Erdogan is elected president during the first-ever direct elections. On 15 July 2016, a coup d’état was attempted in Turkey against state institutions, including the government and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The attempt was carried out by a faction within the Turkish Armed Forces that organized themselves as the Peace at Home Council.
From 2007 till 2019, Erdogan was able to utterly destroy all of Ataturk’s reforms and dragged Turkey once more into the Dark Ages of Sharia as history clearly proves when studying any of the Muslim states.
