...VIEW OF HIMSELF. With all the respect I have for [Turkey's] Atatürk, he was living in his time, as my father was living in his time. Neither of them made land reform. But I have. Neither of them thought of workers participating in profits and being co-owners of factories. That is why I say we do not have to copy anybody, any ideology. We have enough brains to devise what is best for ourselves...
...Saudi Arabia into the Middle East's most advanced wel fare state. Like the late King, he feels the country should be run in a paternalistic and authoritarian style - and that political evolution should be deliberately paced. "Our approach is ex actly opposite to that of Atatürk of Turkey," Fahd told friends recently. "Atatürk imposed changes on his people from the top. We try to act as a catalyst, giving the people a glimpse of change and letting them decide to accept...
Died. Ismet Inönü, 89, first Prime Minister of modern Turkey; of a heart attack; in Ankara. When the Sultan was deposed and Turkey became a republic in 1923, Kemal Atatürk as President and Inönü as Prime Minister abolished the semireligious office of Caliph and began to westernize the country's educational, legal, military and industrial systems.

He helped modern Turkey's founding father, Kemal Atatürk, win the country's battle for independence in 1923, and succeeded him as President in 1938. After 1950, when he was defeated for the presidency, Inönü continued to rule the Republican People's Party with an iron hand. Last week, at the age of 87, Turkey's elder statesman was finally forced into retirement...
That has been true from the first. In the early 1920s, Moscow was on excellent terms with Turkey's Kemal Atatürk. But this did not prevent Atatürk from killing off the leading Communists in his country. Egypt's late Gamal Abdel Nasser accepted Soviet money, advice and, in some areas, decisionmaking. But in 1959 he clapped hundreds of Communists into prison. Throughout the Middle East, the Communist Party is legal only in Lebanon-and, ironically, Israel. In Sudan, where it is technically banned but has operated openly, its continued existence is now threatened...
