Perhaps you should have read it first.

After reviewing this article I believe it is hogwash,and don't sound very credible at all analytically.

Why? Which aspects seemed you incredible?

Well it wasn't what was in it ,but was not.It doesn't have the stuff that usually goes with something that got unclassified,instead a fairy tale.

Sorry just didn't make the time,did you?if so tell us.

I have read it and find not so much useful, but it can be read as an informative essay.

It mentions personality cult around Kemal in almost a "respectful" (or if you wish, "flattering") discourse and then his "love"s, especial with Zsa Zsa.

Anyway, not so much useful to understand Kemalism phenomena. If you can, i think Sevan Nishanian's "False Republic" is the best i have ever read.

It's really just cheap gossip, Gavur, mostly about ZsaZsa Gabor and partly about Ataturk's philandery. Sometimes we find a gemstone, sometimes we don't.
