Hovannes S, It didn't glorify him, it's just a few facts.
Hovannes S
Why should you glorify a guy who massacred 1.5 million Armenians in 1915 and Turkey is still denying it. There is lots of evidence in the history books to prove it.

To paraphrase and with respect, correct, an other comment here: the most important thing a father can do for his child(ren) is to ensure bona fide reason continues - to love *each* parent.

For goodness sakes, who told you Atatürk was his surname? Please, try to do a little research before attempting an explanation, thanks. In any case, he may have been like a father to (some of?) his followers living in the republic of Turkey, but most definitely not to the Turks as an ethnic group, i.e., the various Turkic peoples.
