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.
