The Translation of Ataturk’s Speech

I would like to mentıon a few words about the natural origin of the undeniable sincere relationship between the people of Turkey and those of the United States of America.

The Turks are already a Democratic Nation . İf this true fact has not been understood by today’s civilised world I must direct attention to the remarkable comments made by our ambassador regarding the last days of the Ottoman empire. On the other hand the American people have always relied and depended on democrasy to identify them as a nation since their inception . İt has been through this blessing that they have been placed amongst today’s civilised world as a new nation (country).
This has given them acceptance as a new nation . Thus the Turkish people feel a strong sentiment of love and understanding towards the American people . I do hope that the observation of this fact will encourage further dialog and warm relations between the two nations; but this will not be all!

I am sure that this will also allow the rest of the civilised world to have more good will towards one another and ERASE all past negative FABLES and experiences;thus leading the world towards a more peaceful and lawful existence.
Dear Americans as a proud representative of the Turkish nation I give you this as a goal and sole purpose of the new Turkish people. I have no doubt that the American nation who has already reached this ultimate goal shall understand and join the new Turkish nation.
