凯末尔是土耳其现代史上和中东民族解放运动中杰出的人物之一。土耳其人民在他的领导下摒弃了奥斯曼帝国遗留的陈规陋习,建立了共和国和议会民主。他对内实行大刀阔斧的改革,对外奉行世界和平,把土耳其引上了欧洲现代化的道路。凯末尔的伟大人格和奋斗精神受到了20世纪二三十年代中国报刊的称赞与尊敬。他的革命思想和改革精神以及成功事业给中国人民留下了不可磨灭的印象,中国人民即使在艰苦的抗日战争年代也在宣传凯末尔、赞美凯末尔,也没有忘记凯末尔其人其事。这是中国和土耳其友好关系的重要见证。
Kemal Atatürk is one of the most outstanding figures in Türkiye’s modern history and in the national liberation movement in Middle East. Under his leadership,people in Türkiye have established a republic sovereignty and a democratic parliament. They also abandoned the Ottoman legacy of the outdated manners and behaviors. He implemented the bald and resolute reforms internally and adhered to the principle of world peace externally,which made Türkiye embark on the road of European modernization. Kemal’s great personality and fighting spirit were highly praised by the Chinese media and press in 1920s and 1930s. His revolutionary ideology and reform spirit have left Chinese people with a memorable impression even amid the difficult time of Anti-Japanese War. People in China complimented and publicized him too. This is an important testimony to the friendly relations between P.R.China and Republic of Türkiye.
