"Encyclopedia lists Ataturk as dictator
ANKARA, Turkey, May 31 (UPI) -- The German version of a Microsoft encyclopedia lists Turkish Republic founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk among dictators including Adolf Hitler, a report said.
The German version of the 2006 Encarta Encyclopedia also put Ataturk, whose name translates into father of the Turks, among the ranks of Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong, Turkish newspaper Zaman reported.
While Ataturk organized armed resistance to drive Allied forces from Turkey during World War I and later set up a one-party government, he is remembered as an 'exceptional reformer,' the newspaper said."
