200 Years of Turkısh-American Relations

Öz

I am deeply honored to be with you in the Faculty of
Political science of Ankara University, an institution that has
contributed so much to Turkey in he past 150 years. The scholars,
students and alumni gathered here are the legacy of Turkey's
reform movement and embody Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's
commitment to education, modernity, and public service in
Turkey.
In 1925 he said: "We do not claim pride for the services we
render. But we fınd comfort in the hope that the services we are yet
to render will indeed merit pride."
This institution and its graduates have certainly lived up to
these words. Many of them have contributed directly to the close
ties between our two countries.
