Barrack commemorated Atatürk and reminded the principle of 'Peace at home, peace in the world': 'I stand in silence'

US Ambassador to Ankara Tom Barrack shared a commemorative message on the 88th anniversary of the death of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Türkiye.

Barrack said, "As Turkey falls into silence at 09.05 today, I stand in silence with Turkey. Although 88 years have passed since his death, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's exemplary life sheds direct light on the period we are in. As a soldier who knew the cost of war better than anyone else, Atatürk chose to build a new future: Establishing a republic from the ashes of an empire, building institutions instead of resentment and hostility, and continuing to guide this nation today." "To adopt a continuing principle: 'Peace at home, peace in the world'. This is the task before us today. In a region still searching for stability, his lesson remains valid, but securing them requires greater courage, which requires transforming adversaries into cooperating parties."

Barrack did not post anything on November 10 last year.
