​Nacarama, Melissa. "History Of Turkey." CBSNews. CBS Interactive, 11 Feb. 2009. Web. 09 May 2013. <http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-2213120.html>                    

  I chose this source because it is very helpful in providing some basic knowledge about the history of modern Turkey. It tells about when Turkey was founded, political history, when did it join UN, economy and largest industry. All of this information is important to get started with the study about modern Turkey.



 

"Ataturk and the Modernization of Turkey." Ataturk and the Modernization of Turkey. N.p., n.d. Web. 11 May 2013. <http://allaboutistanbul.tripod.com/ataturk.htm>.

The name suggests the idea behind this source. I used this source to learn about Ataturk and especially what he addressed to the Turkish youth.





Friedland, Roger. "Muslim Lite: Women, Islam and the Turkish Way." The Huffington Post. TheHuffingtonPost.com, 20 Dec. 2011. Web. 09 May 2013. <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/roger-friedland/women-and-islam-in-turkey_b_1153380.html>.

I liked this sources because it gives information that shows transition between the way Turkey was in terms of religion Islam which was changed after Ataturk's reforms but now some Turks are with Recep Tayyip Erodegan and some are still nervous and against it and this how it relates to the topic.





"Foreign Relations of Turkey." Wikipedia. Wikimedia Foundation, 05 July 2013. Web. 10 May 2013. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_relations_of_Turkey>.

This source is very helpful because it provides brief information about the foreign policy of Turkey which was influenced by the Mustafa Kamal Ataturk's reforms about foreign policy which is why his policies have a lot of emphasis on Turkey's relationships with western countries like US.



 

Kagaptay, Soner. "Policy Analysis." Kemalism Is Dead, but Not Ataturk. CNN Global Public Square, 12 May 2012. Web. 10 May 2013. <http://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/view/kemalism-is-dead-but-not-ataturk>.

The reason why I chose this source is because I was looking for any article that contain someone's point of views who were against Ataturk's reforms like Atif Hoca as stated in the source. As the name states "Kemalism is dead but not Ataturk" the main idea of this source is to compare what Kamal said and now what Erodegan says to make a better Turkey.​
