“Atatürk, in War and in Peace” by Hikmet Özdemir

SULTAN YAVUZ – Implemented by the Association of Journalists and financed by the European Union (EU) “Democracy for Media/Media for Democracy Programme” hosted Prof. Dr. Hikmet Özdemir at the Press House in Ankara.

In his presentation titled “Atatürk, in War and in Peace” political scientist Öztürk commented that Atatürk was a great communicator starting from his early years as an officer in the army until the end of his life.

Speaking at the opening of the event, M4D Project Coordinator Yusuf Kanlı said, “No one is obliged to be a Kemalist but no one has the right to insult Atatürk. During the difficult times of this country, Atatürk assumed the role of its saviour and re-constructor. I hope we will never need another hero to take on this role.”

Making the opening speech of the event and giving biographical information about Özdemir, M4D Deputy Project Coordinator Seva Ülman mentioned the importance of November as it marks the anniversary of Atatürk’s death:

“Prof. Hikmet Özdemir’s book ‘Atatürk in War and in Peace’ tells the extraordinary tale of our founding father. Özdemir completed a degree in management and administration, later to finish a masters and doctorate degree in Political Science and Public Administration. Özdemir conducted research at University of London with a scholarship from the British Council; state archives in Washington and Georgetown University with a Fulbright scholarship; and also conducted research on the UN Refugee archives.

In addition, he also conducted research in the Presidential archives, TUBITAK and Kocaeli University archives, alongside doing research on the 1915 Armenian Events in the Turkish Historical Society. Özdemir is currently teaching graduate courses at Ankara University War Academy. He is married and has two children. ”

Özdemir, “There were no advertising campaigns or big agencies in the years when Mustafa Kemal was alive”

Prof. Hikmet Özdemir, said that his book “Atatürk in War and in Peace” first talks about a hero, but it also touches on other important topics. According to Özdemir, Atatürk read many books, primarily focusing on history then social sciences, literature and linguistics, fine arts, religions, philosophy, psychology and the basic sciences.

First and foremost a military man, Atatürk was guided by this instinct according to Özdemir “He read because he needed to, and to understand his era. He would internalize the knowledge he gathered and would share it with his surroundings. He began sharing information with the masses ever since his first years as an officer.” According to Özdemir Atatürk’s biggest asset was his powerful ability to communicate: “There were no advertising campaigns or big agencies in the years Mustafa Kemal was alive. He only had himself and the people he needed to reach out to.”

He wrote his first postcard to Rıza Tevfik

Özdemir said that Atatürk communicated with his family and close friends through postcards and letters but also gave great importance to communicating face-to-face which was evident in how he commanded his army. Pointing out the importance of telegraphs, interviews and articles in Atatürk’s life, Özdemir said that Atatürk wrote his first postcard to Rıza Tevfik Böllükbaşı. Mustafa Kemal was 27 years old, said Özdemir, when he sent this postcard expressing his admiration to Rıza Tevfik: “This shows us that Mustafa Kemal was a confident reader.”

Özdemir mentioned the next important text Atatürk wrote was on 29 October 1908 for the İstikbal newspaper in Crete: “After the 1908 Revolution, there was an uprising against the Committee of the Union and Progress Party and Mustafa Kemal succeeded in suppressing it. This letter is very thought provoking, it criticizes the newspaper and talks about its impact on the public. The letter, which he also wrote at the age of 27, serves as a reminder of the duty of the press. It was not something that could be written by someone who merely attended the War Academy, but by someone with intellectual capabilities.”

“Encrypted telegraph played a big role in the national struggle”

Özdemir stated that Atatürk continued to write letters even on the front, and mentioned that Mustafa Kemal had also corresponded with Corinne, with whom he had an emotional relationship. According to Özdemir letters played a very important role in Mustafa Kemal’s life, he mentioned one letter he wrote to İnönü on the night that tied 1937 to 1938: “Mustafa Kemal had written such an elegant letter to İnönü, who was quite sick at the time, that the women of the household told him (İnönü) they hadn’t received the letter yet for fear of him getting worse.”

Alongside sentimental letters, Özdemir stated that Mustafa Kemal had written letters giving place to his political ideas and encrypted telegraphs played a big role in the national struggle. Speaking about the time Atatürk spent outside of Ankara, Özdemir talked about the important communication campaign Atatürk started in 1922-1923. Özdemir said:
“Atatürk went to Bilecik, İzmit, Bursa, Balıkesir-Edremit at that time, the İzmir Economy Congress and the death of his mother took place during this period.

Atatürk then went to Erzurum, Sivas and Kayseri where he made long speeches at provincial halls. These speeches sometimes lasted up to four hours; citizens were of course not used to a leader communicating with them in such a way. For the first time, a leader called on the public to ask questions. This was an enormous communication campaign. Atatürk talked about everything during his travels. How the new regime would be, the reforms that were going to take place… Mustafa Kemal already had already been thinking about these topics, he had prepared mentally for the occasion. He went to the people and told them what he was planning to do. Atatürk gave us a lesson on communication; just imagine no railroads, transport was so limited that sometimes he had to travel on horseback for 36 hours.”

“He conducted the biggest communication campaign of his life in Izmir”

Özdemir stated that Atatürk conducted the biggest communication campaign of his life in İzmir after the Great Offensive, where important journalists and agencies came to İzmir from İstanbul. Mustafa Kemal gave statements to news agencies and reporters of the USA, France and England and talked to them about his plans.
Özdemir also mentioned that Atatürk would keep those he trusted around him, and the interviews he gave to Ruşen Eşref played a very important role in sculpting his public image.

When the Caliphate was abolished in 1924, Özdemir pointed out that Atatürk, who was organizing a campaign in which he met with the press in İzmir, went from city to city to talk about the “Alphabet Reform”.

Özdemir also remarked that Atatürk and his group wrote reports about their travels around the country. The visit of King Edward VIII in 1936 was also an opportunity for Atatürk to conduct an international press campaign remarked Özdemir and added “The Times had used the word Constantinople when referring to Istanbul, following the visit they started to call the city Istanbul.”

Hikmet Özdemir said that Mustafa Kemal Atatürk used communication tools and the press very effectively and remarked “During the years of the National Struggle, the İrade-i Milliye and Hâkimiyet-i Milliyet newspapers were established, then the Anatolian Agency was established in Ankara. He later established the ”Matbuat ve İstihbarat Müdüriyet-i Umumiyesi” which later became the General Directorate of Press and Intelligence. All of this shows the importance Atatürk gave to communication and to the means of communication”.

Turkey Geography and Humanity

We are at the dawn of the 3000’s. As the dawn is getting brighter, the first lights of the period, when ideas and information are more valuable, started to appear with the 21st century.

The geography of Turkey, where ideas first sprout, is one of the fertile geographies where five of the first ten thinkers to be born live.

The result of the gene diversity and richness in the pool of the peninsulas of Turkey (Rumelia, Anatolia) at the crossing point of the continents (Europe, Asia, Africa) is likewise richness and diversity of thought.

The first essay on the Encyclopedia of Universal Thinkers begins with 2650 years of experience, starting with Thales of Miletus, the first known philosopher born in 624 BC. Among the top 10 great philosophers, the first 3 and 5 in total are from the geography of Turkey. Philosophy started in the geography of Turkey. 5 of the top 10 thinkers were born in Turkey.

  1. Thales, Miletus
  2. Anaximander, Miletus
  3. Pythagoras, island of Samos
  4. Laozi
  5. Confucius
  6. Sun Tzu
  7. Heraclitus, Ephesus
  8. Parmenides
  9. Anaxagoras, Klazomenai, Urla
  10. Protagoras

The geography of Turkey is the starting point of the first collective settlements (Çatalhöyük), the first agriculture (Urfa, Diyarbakır), the first beliefs (Karahantepe, Göbeklitepe), and the first thinkers (Milet) in the history of humanity.

The first human questions were asked here. Uninterrupted accumulation of 15,000 years has enabled the enrichment of human existence in Turkey’s geography.

Africa Continent and Turkish Language

Levent Ağaoğlu – First of all, thank you to ASAM and then to you, Mr. Ömer. Because you brought Africa to our feet. Actually, we don’t see Africa in Eurasia One Foundation, but I read it as “Eurasia Africa One Foundation”. I’m going to ask one question so as not to waste your time.
The question is: Gentlemen, the younger brothers speak Turkish very well. When we say Africa, Evliya Çelebi’s Efrikiye is the continent where Tolunogullari founded the first Muslim Turkish state in Egypt in 870.
The first person to speak in human history was an African. But then Europe ignored Africa, glorified its own existence, destroyed other people’s identities, languages, and began to speak English and French. Language is a leadership, a state.
Now the African language is not an Indo-European language, but has another linguistic structure. Could there be a predisposition between languages ​​because they speak Turkish very well? If it is not difficult for them to speak Turkish, I think it is necessary to invest in it.
Did you have any difficulties in learning a language?
Abdu Djamanca – No, now an African country of one and a half million people, but more than thirty tribes and local languages. We see the richness of this as academics. Why, when I was a kid I had friends from more than five different languages. Naturally, I know 5 languages. It also has an effect when learning Turkish, English, French, German, and Chinese. So this is advantage.
Ali Ferah – A person in Africa speaks more than one language. Secondly, Turkish is not an easy language, it is a difficult language. One of the reasons for this is that there were no Turkish books prepared for foreigners to learn Turkish 15 years ago. Therefore, academics are working on it recently. And the Turkish books they prepared for foreigners began to be published. Another reason is that the more you socialize with the society, the better and smoother you will speak Turkish. This is also very important. I don’t know, we still can’t claim that we speak Turkish very well.
Prof.Dr.Ömer Özkan– Wherever we go in the world, we encounter this language problem. There is the famous Rustem Pasha Mosque in Bosnia. We have a hug with his imam, our language is not common, but our eyes tell a lot. You say, “Oh Ottoman, if you could see these days”. Now at least it started with Yunus Emre, but it is not enough. I was in Sudan last week. One or two classes are opened, they say that even if a hundred classes are opened, a hundred students are ready. So someone needs to act much faster on this issue. We also have a lot of ready-made Turkish language teachers, we give ready-made Turkish Language graduates from Open Education. We need to act much, much faster on this.
Ahmet Üseni– I want to say one sentence. My teacher said, “We are a poor country in the Republic of Turkey, why do we give these fifty thousand African children to us, and we are under poverty here”. I want to mention something like this. For example, at this conference, we all speak Turkish. Doesn’t this have any use for the Republic of Turkey? It is useful. In fact, sometimes, while chatting with my Turkish brothers, they say that we were in Africa during the Ottoman period. But we did not colonize in Africa. I say, okay, you did a good thing, but from my perspective, you made a big mistake in the Ottoman period. Which mistake? You were there in Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt. You may not colonize, but why didn’t you teach your language? Now you want to know the situation in Congo. We have a brother Ahmet in Congo. “Ahmed brother,What is the situation in Congo? I am speaking in your language. But it wasn’t like that at that time. I wanted to talk about this sentence.
– We apologize for that sentence. You have a place over our heads.

Quotes by Prof Ioanna Kuçuradi, Turkish Philosopher

Human rights are human rights, but not all human rights are human rights.

Many things are said about people, but people are never mentioned.

Every great thinker is a child of future ages as well as people of his own age.

Every -ism is a generalization, a transgression, a wholesale explanation, or an abstraction. ”

As long as the world is looked at “from the outside”, from the opposite side, one cannot go beyond the shell of what is.

It is not judgments but valuations that betray a person—what they actually do, demonstrate, experience.

The protection of any human right or group of human rights cannot be delayed in a country in the name of protecting another human right or group of rights.

“Wherever I found a living being, there I also heard the word of submission. Every living being is a submissive being”.

Evil in the world almost always comes from ignorance; wanting the good can do just as much harm, if unenlightened, as wanting the bad.

One of the main tasks of philosophy education is to educate people as early as possible so that they gain an eye to see where human dignity is at stake.

The opposite of every condition that prevents people from realizing and developing their possibilities as human beings is a “human right”.

Every constitution made without taking the protection of fundamental human rights as a basis, and every law enacted without establishing any relation to these rights, every institution and institution established is an abuse of positive law.

Existence as a human being in this sphere of earth constitutes the first freedom. The embodiment of this first freedom constitutes the first right, the first fundamental right. And this is what we call the “right to life”.

We harm human dignity, our own dignity, not by what we suffer, but by what we do, because we are responsible for what we do, not what others do to us. It is up to us to do or not do something.

When is a concept dangerous? When everyone thinks they know the concept, even though its content is fuzzy. I’m afraid that human rights has already become a dangerous concept. Philosophy must reconsider them, scrutinize their content.

Human rights express certain requirements for every human being. These requirements appear as demands to recognize and protect human worth, that is, to protect people simply because they are human.

A philosopher, that is, a person who brings new and correct information in the field of philosophy, does not have to be “alone”. A philosopher is a person before being a philosopher. One “friend” is enough for him not to be alone.

The free man wants to be alone; he wants to be alone for his own business: he is the man who can be alone. He is self sufficient. The conversations he doesn’t have with people like himself are just words. He does not speak to the heap or the flock; talks to people like himself and those who will be like him

To include human rights education in non-formal and formal education, to popularize the concept of “state based on human rights” instead of the concept of “state respecting human rights”, which is compatible with the understanding of the state as an entity on its own, and to make the protection of basic human rights under current conditions the main objective of national policies.

Who is the “big man”? “The loneliest man, the most reserved, the most reserved, the man beyond good and evil, the man who is the master of his own virtues and the abundance of his will: this must be the greatest man. To be as many-sided as it is a whole, as wide as it is full: this must be greatness.”

“In the writings of many thinkers and poets, the traces of anxiety, heartache and remorse for being separated from the herd are evident: because the one who is separated from the herd has to stay alone; Being alone is not everyone’s business. But those that are not spent (…) become so powerful – they have to be so strong – that it is impossible not to let the herd fear them.

Our world is currently experiencing the consequences of postmodernism. Believing is a psychic phenomenon. And it’s not just about religion. People who try to add meaning to their lives can add meaning to valuable things, as well as meaningless things. This keeps them afloat. But as soon as these things happen, they can be harmful to themselves and others. For this, it is helpful in education to show people the way to see valuable “things” as meaningful.

“Believe me! The secret of reaping the product of the greatest efficiency and non-existent taste is this: living dangerously! Build your cities on Vesuvius! Release your ships to the unexplored seas! Live in a state of war with your likes and yourself! Be pirates and conquerors, unless you dominate, get what you want, you Knowers! Hidden in the forest like a timid deer, time flies by when it should have been enough for you to live! In the end, knowledge will reach out to what suits it – it will want to dominate, it will want to acquire it, and you will go with it!”

I see human rights as a way out of the impasse that humanity is dragged into. This path goes through an increase in the number of people, especially administrators, who have a clear conceptual knowledge of human rights and sincerely want to protect human rights. There is ignorance and bargaining on this subject. Today, there can be heads of state in our world who come to power through democratic means and say, “I have never committed corruption, I have not done anything that I should not have done, I just had some extrajudicial executions”. This shows the ignorance of the person while doing it or saying it.

Wisdom doesn’t need “defense”. Sooner or later people have to resort to their products and help. What is wisdom? For Aristotle, wisdom is a virtue of thought: it is the direct and indirect knowledge of those who are most valuable in their nature. But if we consider the Seven Sages of Ancient Ages, Prophet Solomon and other such people, the characteristics of the sage can be expressed as follows: The sage can make the most accurate decisions in life/practice – about what should or can be done in a particular situation – based on the general/theoretical information he has reached. is the giver.

I have no right to say that a person who has not received a “philosophy” education cannot lead a decent life – a “good” life. Not every person who has studied philosophy is “good” and “creative”. But a person with a proper philosophical education is more likely to be a person who can look with varying degrees of self-knowledge and value, and is more likely to be aware of what he does not know. When he is aware of this, that is, when he is aware that the missing information is a necessary information for his job, he tries to acquire/learn it, that is, he feels the responsibility of learning it.

The problem of protecting human rights appears to be a philosophical, ethical and political problem. It is a philosophical problem because there is a strong need for clarification of the concept of human rights – a clarity that can enable us to draw more solid conclusions about what these rights entail. Ethics is an issue because it is people who respect or violate these rights in everyday life; It is people who contribute to their protection through events or decisions they make as public officials. It is also a political problem; because it is the duty of every state to provide, directly or indirectly, the necessary conditions for all citizens to develop their possibilities as human beings and to live “free from fear and deprivation”.

As in the whole world, the most striking symptom of many events that take place in both the broad framework of social life and the narrow framework of daily relations in our country is the waste of people amid conflicting understandings and conflicting claims. The only way out is for a person whose throat is choked and sickened by the attitude of people who do not care or are afraid to care about these injustices in the face of injustices done to people under the name of serving humanity or any institution or thought or with the intention of serving them. is to put forward as an example and live humanely. Such a life is to live as a human being, regardless of the dangers that come from all directions. The basic condition of such a life is the human, or rather, the main value of the person,To realize that it is the main value unconditionally and to act without losing sight of it is to do something, even in Don Quixote.
