His six principles still serve today as a sign
post for establishing a democratic
government Republicanism This is the principle
which forms the main construction and shape of
the Turkish Government. This is the system in
which equality is the main idea. Everybody has
the right to participate in the
elections. Nationalism Turkish people are keen
on their independence and liberty.They have a
strong feeling of love and pride for
Turkey. Secularism It doesnt merely mean the
seperation of state and religion but also the
seperation of religion from educational,cultural
and legal affairs. Populism This is the
principle that protects the rights of people
without class distinctions. The best diplomacy
should be used for sake of the people. Nobody has
got more rights than others. Reformism It means
making changes and replacing traditional
institutions with modern institutions. These
changes help people rise to the level of modern
and civilized societies. Statism Turkeys
complete modernisation is very much dependent on
economic and technological development. The state
must regulate the countrys general economic
activity.
