Mustafa Kemal Atatiirk to the Jews of Turkey 2 February 1923
There are some of our faithful people whose destiny has been united with that of the Turks ruling them, in particular the Jews, who because their loyalty to this nation and this motherland has been confirmed, have passed their lives in comfort and prosperity until now, and will continue to live thus hereafter in comfort and happiness. 1 This book is dedicated to the Muslim and Jewish Turks of the Republic of Turkey, in celebration of five hundred years of brotherhood and friendship. 1492-1992
