You can substantiate your claims by dislosing your sources, by providing references and quoting relevant documents upon which what you say is based. I know it's the hardest part as all you say is based on Turkish historical and political fiction and forgery. Kemal was no doubt a brilliant story-teller. Unfortunately, his last fairy tale romance called "modern Turkey" with pure-hearted secularist fairies fighting against bad Islamist goblins and corrupt Ottoman trolls and overwhelming in unequal duels anti-Turkish giants lurking around, cannot be refered to as a credible source for understanding what is going on in Ataturkistan and around it.
