Ataturk Dressed in Yeni Ceri (Janissary) Attire

 

Here is an image of Ataturk dress as a Janissary soldier.  The story behind it is he wore the outfit to a costume party where someone snagged a photo.  The Janissaries were abolished and destroyed in the 1826 Auspicious Event.  Ataturk, no doubt, regretted dressing in such a pro-Ottoman outfit.  The image remains quite popular on search engines under the term janissary.
