    The birth of a modern nation amid the ruins of the Ottoman Empire

    Mustafa Kemal Atatiirk, father of modern Turkey, was born one hundred years ago. To mark the centenary, the Turkish permanent delegation to Unesco organized a series of cultural events in Paris earlier this year, including exhibitions, concerts and dancing displays. It was through the educational and cultural reforms brought about by Atatürk that the Turkish people, especially young people and women, were introduced to the twentieth century world, as will be seen in the following three articles published in this issue of the Unesco Courier.

  • Atatürk on the Records of UN General Conference

    Atatürk on the Records of UN General Conference

    In the decision dated 27 November 1978,

    The General Conference,
    Convinced that eminent personalities who worked for international understanding, co-operation, and peace, should serve as an example for future generations,
    Recalling that the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Mustafa Kemal Atatûrk, the founder of the Republic of Turkey, will be celebrated in 1981,
    Bearing in mind that he was an exceptional reformer in all the fields coming within Unesco’s competence,
    Recognizing in particular that he was the leader of one of the earliest struggles against colonialism and imperialism,
    Recalling that he set an outstanding example in promoting the spirit of mutual understanding between peoples and lasting peace between the nations of the world, having advocated all
    his life the advent of ‘an age of harmony and co-operation in which no distinction would be made between men on account of colour, religion or race’,

    1. Decides that Unesco shall co-operate on the intellectual and technical planes with the Turkish Government for the organization in 1980, at that Government’s financial expense, of an international symposium designed to bring out various aspects of the personality and work of Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Turkey, whose action was always directed towards the promotion of peace, international understanding and respect for human rights;
    2. Requests the Director-General to take the necessary steps for the implementation of this resolution.

    CREEPY Things That Were “Normal” in Ottoman Empire

    The Ottoman Empire dominated southeastern Europe, Turkey, and the Middle East for 400 years from the time of their establishment to the peak of their power in the 17th and 18th centuries. However, underneath such magnificence was the foundation made of dark and messed-up practices that would besmirch their legacy and eventually resulted in their fall.
