Quote-
At one time they called Atatürk a dictator too. But he did not pay attention to what they said, he silenced the traitors inside, he crushed those who wanted to divide the country and even those who wanted the mandate of so-and-so state, and he liberated the occupied lands of the country with new and poor republic, let alone the war of independence before. If Allah had given him life, he would have reached the Misak-ı Milli.
Aliyev did what was necessary for the survival of the homeland under difficult circumstances. This Iranian-Armenian jargon has given you away badly. I strongly condemn this expression.

Bro, chill down. It was supposed to be a joke. That's why I added the emoji.
If it was insensitive I take it back.
And I am assure you I am not mimicking any Iranian-Armenian Jargon.
Seljuks and the Ottomans did the same thing.
They crushed traitors so their state can live on.
Guess what most Turks I argued with constantly bitch and whine about it.
As if history is black and white. Ottoman fanboys will complain about Ataturk putting down rebellions as if the Ottomans didnt do the same while Ataturk fanboys will complain about how the Ottomans put down rebellions.
Then again there is the issue of how the Ottomans killed Turks as if any Turkic Empires regardless of the Pre Islamic and Post Islamic eras are not guilty of this ordeal.
Seljuks before coming into Anatolia destroyed the Ghaznavids. While the Uygurs and Kyrgz destroyed the remnants of the Gokturks.
Shah Ismail before his war with the Ottomans waged war against the Uzbeks. Babur before conquering India waged war in trying to unite Turkic tribes.
Mongols are also full of this history Berke Khan became a Muslim and attacked Hulagu Khan while setting off a civil war. By the way Berke Khan did not even want Kubilay Khan as the next Khan after that the Mongol Empire split into different Khanates.
Genghis Khan just to build his empire had to fight other Mongol and Turkic tribes.
Shit was bad but thats how those times worked. You either pledged allegiance to the Sultan or the Khan if not they will wage war against your own kingdom or tribe.
People should be fcking honest. I came across how many people saying if you lkke learbing about the Ottomans you cant like Ataturk. While if you like learning about Ataturk you cant like the Ottomans.
This is the most backwards mentality.
Our politicians only fanned the flames about their own history and used it for their own agendas.
Thanks to Chp people are hating on Ataturk while thanks to the Akp people are hating on the Ottoman Empire.
