Baku to release book discrediting Ataturk

PanARMENIAN.Net - Yeni Azerbaijan ruling party will release a book featuring correspondence between the founder of the Turkish Republic Mustafa Kemal Ataturk with Lenin, which contains shocking revelations of his wife Latifa, and assertions of Necip Fazıl Kisakurek naming Vahideddin as the ideologist of liberation war, rather than Ataturk.

Azerbaijani authorities characterized the book as discrediting evidence against Turkey, according to Poliqon website.

The book is scheduled for release on January 29, marriage anniversary of Ataturk and Latifa.

Earlier, Turkish diplomat Turgut Er released a book, portraying dark episodes in the biography and anti-democratic governing of Heydar Aliyev. Azeri authorities were reported as attempting to pressure both the author and Turkish government, announcing the work to be a “slander”.
