| Description | The Atatürk Society of America (ASA) is an independent non-profit organization founded in Washington DC in 1995 with the objective of promoting Atatürk’s political legacy as a contribution to freedom and peace.
ASA understands Atatürk’s political philosophy to be:
•Sovereignty belongs to the people. People alone administer people. Public sovereignty cannot be shared with any other authority, including a religious authority.
•Rational education ensures absoluteness of public sovereignty and rationality in politics. Science leads to progress Doctrines, including religious ideologies, hinder progress.
•The contemporary civilization is the common heritage of mankind. All nations must participate in it through progress. The universality of civilization means peace at home and peace in the world".
Towards this objective the ASA organizes scholarly lectures, grants research fellowships, maintains a resource and reference center, makes representations regarding the benefits of Atatürk’s political principles for world’s prosperity and peace. |
