Quotes

“The network was ready. I personally did not want the army to intervene and had been stopping the attempts (of takeover) of my younger friends. Things reached to such a state that despite my belief that the army should not interfere I let them free in their duties. Now my only goal is to reinstate an administration built on the principles of justice and ethics.”
“We built an automobile with the mentality of the West and we forgot to put gasoline in it with the mentality of the East.”
“Those who follow Atatürk will not be left behind.”
