Turkish anarchists turn to Kemalism
Turkish youth, whom Ataturk referred to as the guardians of the republic, have turned him into an unlikely anti-establishment symbol, challenging not only Islamists but also the secular opposition.
A scarf bearing the stylish signature of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk covers the face of the mannequin and a white T-shirt with a portrait of a smiling Ataturk completes the unusual attire.
Ismail Saymaz, the shining investigative reporter of Turkish daily Radikal, took the photo on Nov. 15 in front of a boutique in Izmir, the Kemalist stronghold on Turkey's west coast.
