Atatürk Society of America

Welcome to Atatürk Society of America

 

The Atatürk Society of America (ASA) is an independent non-profit organization founded 1995 in Washington DC, with the objective of promoting Atatürk’s political legacy.

ASA understands Atatürk’s political philosophy to be:

  • Sovereignty belongs to the people.
  • People alone administer people.
  • Public sovereignty cannot be shared with any other authority, including a religious authority.
  • Rational education ensures absoluteness of public sovereignty rationality in politics.
  • Science leads to progress. Doctrines, including religious ideologies, hinder progress.
  • The contemporary civilization is the common heritage of mankind. All nations must participate in it through progress.
  • The universality of civilization means peace at home
    and peace in the world.
Towards this objective the ASA organizes scholarly lectures, provides research fellowships, develops a resource and reference center, and makes representations regarding the importance of Atatürk’s political philosophy for international prosperity and peace.
