Is this your way of withdrawing your initial remark on how "Ataturk sided with Germany in WWI", admitting it was wrong?

Humm... mea culpa. I was more referring to the Turkish government, dominated by the Young Turks under the Triumverate (Enver Pasha, Mehmet Talat, and Ahmet Cemal), and that Mustapha, being a member of the young turks, was aligned with the decision to join the Germans in WWI. The point was Turky had a close relationship with Germany during that period and during WWII. There were considerable concerns on the part of the allies that Turkey would join Hitler during WWII.

I expect an apology for this senseless slander of "deification".

Sure sounded like it to me given your vigorous denunciation of a commonly held fact that Mustafa and his followers created a cult of personality around him. Would you care to elaborate exactly what your feelings are about Mustafa so I can properly ascertain whether an apology is required?

Btw, have a nice day yourself...

And lighten up a bit... You're internalizing too much of this... :0)
