Kemalists Only!


From Hürriyet's English edition: The sign reads “This is an area site where Atatürkist, secular, democratic people live.”

I don't think fezzes or veils are welcome. The words "because we are modern" are missing, that theme we've seen in all three books so far. Perhaps that bit is simply understood.

Read more here about the housing complex in Antalya.

Re-branding the anti-Islamists as "Atatürkist" has even more power than "Kemalist," although they both refer to the Gazi's name.
