ATATRK'S ADDRESS TO TURKISH YOUTH

Turkish Youth, Your first duty is to preserve and to defend Turkish Independence and theTurkish Republic forever. This is the very foundation of your existence and your future.This foundation is your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there may be

malevolent people at home and abroad, who will wish to deprive you of this treasure. Ifsome day you are compelled to defend your independence and your Republic, you mustnot hesitate to weigh the possibilities and circumstances of the situation before doingyour duty. These possibilities and circumstances may turn out to be extremelyunfavorable. The enemies conspiring against your independence and your Republic mayhave behind them a victory unprecedented in the annals of the world. It may be that, by

violence and trickery, all the fortresses of your beloved fatherland may be captured, all itsshipyards occupied, all its armies dispersed and every corner of the country invaded. Andsadder and graver than all these circumstances, those who hold power within the countrymay be in error, misguided and may even be traitors. Furthermore, they may identifypersonal interests with the political designs of the invaders. The country may beimpoverished, ruined and exhausted.

Youth of Turkey's future, even in such circumstances it is your duty to save TurkishIndependence and the Republic. You will find the strength you need in your noble blood.
