Yüksel BARUT. The concert of Atatürk's favorite songs (Alişimin Kaşları Kara, Selanik Türküsü, Sarı Saçlım Mavi Gözlüm, Burası Muştur Yolu Yokuştur), Mustafa Kemal ATATÜRK, his comrades in arms, the event that started with mercy, gratitude, and respect for those who made this land sanctified with their blood by being martyred in Çanakkale, the War of Independence, and in the process up to the present day, it lasted with visuals consisting of 230 slides. After the "Yemen Türküsü" concert by Safiye AYLA: Mustafa Kemal ATATÜRK had a colorful personality ... He was a simple citizen who smoked and chatted with his soldiers, shared ayran with the villagers, drank coffee with sugar, made fortune-telling, wore a nightgown, and crossed legs. He did not choose food, he ate every meal that came to the table. He loved carnivore, dried beans and pilaf, rose jam, and roasted chickpeas. He was a free-spirited intellectual who walked the streets unprotected with his friends, went to Lebon to eat cake, to Rejans to Borç soup, to Vefa to drink boza, and who liked to do whatever he thought. The Republic was established after seven great wars. 1856 Crimea, 1877 Ottoman- Russian, 1892 Greek, 1911 Tripoli, 1912 Balkan, 1914-18 First World War, finally 1920- 1922 Independence War. Only the last of these battles ended in victory. But this victory did not only ask the citizen for his life and blood. This war was won by asking their horse, car, sock, oxcart, linen cloth, and window iron from the citizen. The misfortune of the Turkish Republic is its establishment on a collapsed economy and a country in ruins. That's why it's great.
