> which if it wasn't for him Turkey would be Christian country.

I really don't understand this? How would Turkey be a christian country if it wasn't for Ataturk? The Seljuks invaded Constantinople in 1453.

Actually it was Ottomans who invaded Constantinople in 1453.

The sentence about becoming Christian country is silly. It is the default cool-aid they give in elementary schools here.

Sorry you're right about the Ottomans, I'd just woken up and seen this in the morning.

After WWI Turkey was divided between Christian countries France Greece England etc.

And that if that'd continued to be the case, Turkey would be a Christian country how?
