CHAPTER 8 – YABAN, KADRO, ANKARA 
261 
defend right and justice boarded a Turkish ship instead of resorting to 
Europe and, when he crossed to Anatolia, he left everyone open mouthed 
with amazement. This Turkish revolutionary was not content merely 
with going to Anatolia instead of Europe; for the first time he frees 
himself from Europe and from the rule and influence of the Europeans 
and finds shelter in the arms of his nation.
Those who see Mustafa Kemal’s Revolution as the continuation of the 
Tanzimat movement can see at least in this point how contrary to one 
another these two movements are. What else but sharp antagonism can 
be found between the Tanzimat statesman who, when in trouble, finds 
shelter in a foreign embassy and the national statesman who throws 
himself in the arms of the Anatolian peasant? One of these is the man 
who is after his personal freedom.
Those who follow the call of the national Turkish revolutionary for the 
first time very well know and feel that national pride became their only 
course and determining point. The War of Independence is the boiling 
over of this national pride. All the revolutionary movements which 
followed it are the evolution of this national pride. From the day Mustafa 
Kemal became commander of a military division until this day in which 
he is the head of all the nation he shows amazing leaps forward: In order 
to be saved from the influence of foreigners! It is for his reason that he 
demolished this Byzantinish pompous palace and that Arabo-Persian 
culture’s hearths’ religious schools. For this reason he rid our heads from 
this Rum derived fez. Today’s language and history movements are the 
transmission of this onslaught, that is of the War of Independence, to the 
soul and to the mind. This is the combat on the way to true freedom.
The 22nd issue of 
Kadro
is directly related to a scene in 
Ankara
as it commemorates 
the tenth anniversary of the revolution. 
The issue starts with an address by Mustafa Kemal: 
Büyük Şef’imizin Cümhuriyetin onuncu yıl dönümü münasebetiyle,
mecmuamıza şevk ve cesaret veren iltifatları:
Hatırlıyorum ki, Kadro intişar ederken maksadını Türk milletine has 
meslek ve metodun millet ve memlekette teessüs ve inkişafiına hizmet 
olduğunu yazmıştı.
