Kemalism (Turkish: Kemalizm, also archaically Kamâlizm)^[1] or Atatürkism (Turkish: Atatürkçülük) is a political ideology based on the ideas of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder and first president of the Republic of Turkey.^[2][3] Its symbol is the Six Arrows (Turkish: Altı Ok).

Atatürk's Turkey was defined by sweeping political, social, cultural, and religious reforms designed to separate the Republican state from its Ottoman predecessor and embrace a Western-style lifestyle,^[4] including the establishment of secularism/laicism, state support of the sciences, gender equality, economic statism and more. Most of those policies were first introduced to and implemented in Turkey during Atatürk's presidency through his reforms.
