There are two Mustafa Kemals: one is I, the flesh and bone Mustafa Kemal... the scond Mustafa Kemal I cannot describe with the word 'I.' That Mustafa Kemal is not I - it is 'We.' That Mustafa Kemal is the enlightened and warrior collectivity that is striving for the new thought, the new life, and the Great Ideal on every corner of this country.

I have established the republic. But today it is not clear whether the form of government is a republic, a dictatorship, or personal rule.

Ours is a fully democratic government, which in our language we call a people's government.
