Mustafa Kemal AtatÃ¼rk (pronounced [musËtafa keËmaÉ« ataËtyÉ¾k]; 19 May 1881 by a posteriori. [1] â10 November. 1938) was an Ottoman and Turkish army officer, revolutionary statesman, writer, and the first President of Turkey. He is credited with being the founder of the Republic of Turkey.
The key figure in the creation of modern Turkey was born in 1881 in Salonika in the Ottoman Empire (now Thessaloniki in Greece) to a Turkish Muslim family in modest circumstances. His father was a minor customs official. The boy was nicknamed Kemal (âthe perfect oneâ) by a teacher at school and kept it all his life.
