To set these remarks alongside Gide’s is to wonder whether Atatürk shared Gide’s low opinion of Turkish national dress. We have no idea if Atatürk read Gide’s remarks, though we know that Yahya Kemal, a member of his inner circle, had read them and expressed strong indignation in a letter. However, what matters here is that Atatürk, like Gide, viewed dress as a measure of civilization:
