What is a Mehmet - as in Ataturk's mention of the 'Johnnies and Mehmets' in the plaque at Gallipoli?
Mehmet is the Turkish spelling of Mahmoud, a common Turkish name. Ataturk's mentioning of it is used to describe the Turkish soldiers. Even today the soldiers of Turkey are mentioned as "Mehmetçik". Ataturk meant that, since Johnnies and Mehmets are lying here together, they've become our sons.
Why is Atatürk so deified in Turkey?
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk has saved the Turkish statehood once it was under danger in 1918 -1922, consolidated Turks in their fight against invading forces and effectively managed to retain Turkish sovereignty over the heartland of the once mighty empire. Today's Turkey is a continuation statehood established in 1077 by Seljuk Turks and Ataturk is one who has assured it.
Would Mustafa Kemal Ataturk praise or be disappointed at the state of Turkey today?
He would do both. The current Islamist regime in Turkey led by the AKP would dissapoint Atatürk immensely, especially because he believed that Islamists should never hold the reigns of power in a secular state like Turkey. However, he would be proud of the ascendancy of Turkey in the international scene, its relevance in regional affairs, and its internal development.

Was Mustafa Kemal Atatürk fascist?
Ataturk borrowed from Fascist Italy, it is plain in his Six Arrows Ideology. He used Corporatism and some elements of fascist structure. However, Ataturk differed in the sense he did not intend to create a permanent dictatorship. He was alleged to have said perhaps in joking:"Government of the people in spite of the people." He would rule as a dictator while he uplifted the culture and education of Turkey and intended the dictatorship to...using a Marxian phrase "to whither away" and evolve into a democratic republic. He did not want Turkey in the post-Sultanate era to become some kind of conservative religious dictatorship. An ignorant illiterate population tends to put a repressive conservative regime in power. Ataturk wanted to prevent this. Using the trappings of "fascism" he uplifed the culture and education of Turkey and ended centuries of neglect. He also opposed the direction Italy was taking and knew Mussolini was not going to last long on the world stage. While perhaps modern Turks or his political heirs the CHP will not admit "fascist" roots, Ataturk's regime was born in an era when fascism was a popular alternative "third way" form of government between capitalism and communism. In the Turkish sense Ataturk's efforts paid off. In Turkey today the true test of how effective "Kemalism" can face the challenges of this new century remains to be seen. Old traditions are creeping up. Can some of the old adjust to the secular Turkey Ataturk moulded? "To be continued...." as the old serials went.

What countries are affected by the ataturk dam?
The main countries affected by the Atatürk Dam are Syria and Iraq since they are along the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. ....the ataturk dam was built by a turkish president named......turgut ozal! the main reason why the dam was built was because the president wanted the water to be saved for his future country and also to generate more eleticity and irrigate the plains on turkey. the dam is still up today and in my opinion iu beleive that the president should of never built the dam he should of just let the water flow because no the countries bordering turkey are in trouble because they have no major water supply because of the dam that was built in turkey!
