"The bond between the national feeling and the language is very strong. The fact that the language is national and rich is the main factor in the development of the national feeling. The Turkish language is one of the richest languages, as long as this language is cultivated consciously.
The Turkish nation, who knows how to protect its country and its high independence, must also save its language from the yoke of foreign languages.
Gazi. M. Kemal
