Abstract

Under the leadership of the eternal leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the Turkish Nation fought independence while on the verge of extinction and succeeded in this. By accepting the contemporary values ​​and principles of the West, he transformed the reform into an ideology of modernization. This revolution was a social movement that would take the Turkish Millet to the level of modern civilizations, as well as an outstanding example and hope for many societies in its universal aspects. When it is said "The Universality of the Turkish Revolution", it is seen that the subject is of two importance. The first is that Kemalism Idcology, which we call "Atatürkist Thought System", takes science as a guide and also adopts western values ​​that are contemporary; is the systematization of the line with its principles. Secondly, besides Turkish Millcity's adoption of new and contemporary values, it has shed light on the oppressed nations that have been crushed and turned into a colonial community in many ways while making the necessary reforms to westernize and modernize.
