Abstract

Explaining Atatürk and the Kemalist ideology to new generations is first of all necessary to explain why Ataturk is the "biggest" and "indispensable" leader. It is necessary to explain to the young generations that Atatürk's memorial ceremonies, whose ideas are getting away from the content and lose their meaning, are not a "fetish". The most reliable way to describe Atatürk; Follow the basic principles of the Republic of Turkey establishing his is to explain the value it had jurisdiction and objectives. We call these basic principles, value judgments and goals "Atatürkist ideology".
