If you want to know how the nation state of Türkiye came to be, Nutuk is an excellent reference to explain why and how.

Nutuk, The Great Speech, was a 36 hour speech delivered over 6 days by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk from 15 to 20 October 1927, at the second congress of the Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi; the Republican People’s Party. The speech covered the events between the start of the Turkish War of Independence 19 May 1919, up to the foundation of the Republic of Türkiye, in 1923.

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (born 1881, died 10 November 1938) was a Turkish army officer to become the first President of Turkey. He is credited with being the founder of the Republic of Türkiye. We may assume it is potentially bias, but never the less, Nutuk provides a first-hand account of the events leading to the founding of the Turkish Republic
