The return of Kemal Ataturk — on celluloid

Turkey as it seems, has been a completely modified country. Thanks to Kemal Ataturk, who has a strong presence in Turkey, it is no longer a Muslim country. We see him on the walls of every public building in Turkey and also statues of him dominate the country. Ataturk's blue-eyed stare seems everywhere, even in the Turkish drama Nour. They call him the founder of Modern Turkey, but that Turkish leader has done an extremely great job in destroying what is left of the Muslim culture, the tradition or even history.
