Bicer52, I am Greek, and fiercely anti-Ataturk, and know he was a bad person. I hate him for the burning of, oddly enough........only the Greek and Armenian quarters of Smyrna, or "Izmir", the Turkish slaughter of the name. What did he even do, he just propped up Turkish nationalism, and ethnic cleansing.

Ataturk, was an horrible person. He did nothing but keep the fire between Greece and Turkey burning, but stopping the Greek from reclaiming their land, which ended in the Turks intentionally burning the Armenian and Greek quarters of Smyrna, a predominantly Christian city. He led the Turks into becoming ever more nationalistic, he was a bad person.
