Nutuk
Nutuk
History / Politics
Atatürk's six-day 1927 speech narrating the Turkish War of Independence and the founding of the Republic. Şengör reads it not as ideology but as the lab notebook of a successful political experiment — the protocol of what worked, written after the fact.

“Let them read Nutuk. Why? Nutuk is the protocol of an experiment.”
Şengör's characteristic framing: Atatürk did not write a book first and then try to apply it like Marx — he did the work first and wrote the report after. Said in the context of his book recommendations to young people.
