THE NATION SAVED ITSELF WITH ITS OWN BLOOD
During a history lesson, Atatürk asked a student who had just
finished his presentation:
— You forgot to mention something. Who
saved the Turkish Nation?
The student replied:
— Our Father (Atatürk) saved it.
Atatürk did not accept this answer:
— No, my child. The Turkish Nation
saved itself with its own blood.
