Abstract

The invariable principles of the Kemalist thought system are based on nationalism and civilization. The principles of nationalism and civilization were the primary source of the National Struggle and subsequent revolutions. Considering these sources, we see that three currents of thought have important places in the Kemalist thought system. These trends are nationalization, secularization and modernization (civilization).
