Soner Çaptay：阿塔图尔克作为土耳其的国父，其形象复杂且多面，既是世俗共和国的建立者，也与土耳其的民族主义和现代化进程紧密相连。他与埃尔多安等后继领导人的政治理念和施政方式存在显著差异，但两者在权力运用上存在相似之处。 Randa Adedfattah & Ramteen Arablui：阿塔图尔克可以被解读为解放者、建国者和改革者三种形象，这三种形象都基于现实和虚构，并存在一些历史争议。他的改革虽然推动了土耳其的现代化，但也伴随着对少数民族的压迫和对历史真相的掩盖。 Ryan Gingeris：阿塔图尔克将自己与美国开国元勋相提并论，他领导土耳其摆脱了奥斯曼帝国的枷锁，建立了一个新的民族国家。他的改革具有前瞻性和开创性，但同时也存在一些不足之处。 Lerna Ekmekcioglu：阿塔图尔克的政策与亚美尼亚种族灭绝事件有着千丝万缕的联系，他对少数民族的观点以及对历史的掩盖，是其复杂形象中不可忽视的部分。

He would later rename himself Ataturk, "Father of the Turks." And he was outlining a vision for the future: a future where old empires were buried and new nations reigned supreme. That vision would resonate beyond the borders of the new Turkey, becoming a shining example for leaders around the world of how to build a single unified national identity — no matter the cost.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices)NPR Privacy Policy)
