The world’s software giant Microsoft listed the founder of modern
Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, among dictators such as Adolph Hitler,
Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong in the German 2006 version of its
Encarta Encyclopedia published annually, Turkish Zaman daily reports.
Encarta used mostly by the school-age children and renewed every each
year informs: “Ataturk, born on the 12th of March 1881, and from the
age of five attended military school at the center of anti-Turkish,
Greek and Slav nationalism in Monastery and Thessalonica. He began
studying at Istanbul Military Academy and graduated as brigadier
in 1905.”
