29.Oct.2009 Ataturk’s Speech to United States of America…
The speech on the video is Ataturk’s Speech to United States of America at 1925.
I would like to mention a few words about the natural origin of the undeniable sincere relationship between the people of Turkey and those of the United States of America.
The Turks are already a Democratic Nation. If this true fact has not been understood by today’s civilised world I must direct attention to the remarkable comments made by our ambassador regarding the last days of the Ottoman Empire.
On the other hand the American people have always relied and depended on democracy to identify them as a nation since their inception . It has been through this blessing that they have been placed amongst today’s civilised world as a new nation (country).
This has given them acceptance as a new nation . Thus the Turkish people feel a strong sentiment of love and understanding towards the American people . I do hope that the observation of this fact will encourage further dialog and warm relations between the two nations; but this will not be all!
I am sure that this will also allow the rest of the civilised world to have more good will towards one another and ERASE all past negative FABLES and experiences;thus leading the world towards a more peaceful and lawful existence.
Dear Americans as a proud representative of the Turkish nation I give you this as a goal and sole purpose of the new Turkish people. I have no doubt that the American nation who has already reached this ultimate goal shall understand and join the new Turkish nation.

KONUSMA METNI:
Muhterem Amerikalilar,
Turk milletiyle Amerikan milletleri ve karsilikli olduguna emin bulundugum muhabbet ve samimiyetin tabii mensei hakkinda birkac söz söylemek isterim.
Turk milleti zaten demokrattir. Eger bu hakikat simdiye kadar medeni beseriyet tarafindan tamamiyla anlasilmamis bulunuyorsa, bunun sebeplerini muhterem sefirimiz Osmanli Imparatorlugu’nun son devirlerini isaret ederek cok guzel ifade ettiler. Diger taraftan Amerikan Milletinin kendini hissettigi dakikada istinad ettigi demokrasidir Amerikalilar bu mevhibe ile mumtaz bir millet olarak beseriyet dunyasinda arzi mevcudiyet eyledi. Buyuk bir millet birligi kurdu. Iste bu noktadandir ki Turk milleti Amerika milleti hakkinda derin ve kuvvetli bir muhabbet hisseder. Ümit ederim ki bu musahede iki millet arasindaki mevcut olan muhabbeti köklestirecektir. Yalniz bu kadarla kalmayacak, belki tum beseriyeti birbirini sevmeye ve bu musterek sevgiye mani olan mazi hurafelerini silmeye, dunyayi sulh ve huzur altina sokmaya medar olacaktir.
Muhterem Amerikalilar,
Temsil etmekle mubayi oldugum Turk milletinin, Yeni Turkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin insani gayesi iste bundan ibarettir. Bu yuksek gayede zaten cok yukselmis bulunan Amerika milletinin, Turk milleti ile beraber oldugundan suphem yoktur.”
