Roots, national values and the Republic
Türk Alevi Ocakları described “We are Turkish, Turkish nationalists and followers of Atatürk” as a summary of its attachment to its roots, love for its nation and faith in the Republic’s future. The post explains Turkish identity in terms of drawing strength from history, language, culture and shared values.
The organisation described its understanding of Turkish nationalism through preserving national values, strengthening economic and cultural life, and building intellectual and emotional ties with the Turkic world. Its emphasis on Atatürk’s legacy centred on independence, the Republic, reason, science and modernisation.
