The Ataturk Society of America is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the ideals of Ataturk’s political legacy. The ASA states that Ataturk’s political philosophy is:
- Sovereignty belongs to the people
- People alone administer people
- Public sovereignty cannot be shared with any other authority, including religious authority
- Secular education ensures public sovereignty and rationality in politics
- For progress, science and reason must supersede superstition and dogma
- Contemporary civilization is the common heritage of humankind
- Peace at home and peace in the world assures the universality of civilization
The presence of an Ataturk Society in America implies that Ataturk’s legacy reaches beyond the borders of Turkey.
