[1] Goodbye, young Turks

Atatürk was a thoroughgoing scoundrel, but he was also the father of Turkish secularism. This is yet another sign of the impending demise of the secular state in Turkey, and the reimposition of Sharia there.

"Atatürk monument to be removed from Istanbul square," from [2] Hürriyet Daily News, December 8 (thanks to Joshua):

The Atatürk monument in Istanbul's Kadıköy square will be removed in line with an upcoming building project, private broadcaster NTV has reported.

The controversial overtaking of the Haydarpaşa building was also part of the same project, which aims to reorganize the Kadıköy square.

An extension building to a planned culture center is set to replace the Atatürk monument, according to NTV.
