Kemalism (Turkish: Kemalizm, also archaically Kamâlizm[1]), also known as Atatürkism (Turkish: Atatürkçülük, Atatürkçü düşünce), or The Six Arrows (Turkish: Altı Ok), is the founding and official ideology of the Republic of Turkey based on the ideas and legacy of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.[2]
Atatürk's Turkey was defined by sweeping political, social, cultural and religious reforms designed to separate the Republican state from its Ottoman predecessor and embrace a Western-style lifestyle,[3] including the establishment of secularism/laicism, state support of the sciences, gender equality, economic statism and more. Most of those policies were first introduced to and implemented in Turkey during Atatürk's presidency through his reforms.
