Ataturk's Memories
ATATURKS JOURNEY TO ISTANBUL
Every summer an the rumour of a journey to Istanbul been passed from ear to ear but a few days later the travel route was changed to Konya or İzmir In our imagination Istanbul had passed away into dream
The gossip appeared again in the summer of 1927 We were ordered to get ready for ajourney to Istanbul A battalion of guardsmen was in preparation We were undecided despite all of this, because the train could change its direction to Eskişehir
Finally we were on our way to Istanbul and we were to return to Istanbul, especially to the sea that we were longing for for a long time
Everybody was happy in the train
After Pendik, we were passing through the nice villages, rumour of Ataturks journey had spread and applause was coming from the villages We were joyful Some of our friends arranged a small band and played marches
Istanbul welcomed the great hero joyfully
The Ertuğrul yacht bringing Ataturk from Derince turned over to Kız Kulesi Hundred thousands Istanbul residents showed their joyful happiness, by cheering longlive! It was so exciting
Ataturk disembarked to the palace from the yacht Friends went to their houses in the evening I was on duty
9 pm telephone rang and the voice of chief aidedecamp was heard
Hurry up! The Fasıl music group is going to go to the Palace with its full members
But sir, some friends have gone to their houses
The harsh soldier, aidedecamp got very angry and gave an order and then hung up
Hafız Yaşar was living in Aksaray, Zuhtu Bardakoğlu was living in Teşvikiye, Abdulahlik in Eyubsultan and the others were living in different districts
Without hope, I took the telephone and called the nearest police stations of my friends and asked them to bring them to palace promptly Just half an hour passed and the aidedecamp called again and roared
Whoever is there, call to come here urgently?
Nobody is here except me
I took my Ney under my arm and left for the Palace The way to Palace was filled with people I could hardly get to the garden of the Palace But the bayonet of the sentry shone in front of me
Forbidden
The battalion troop of guardsmen doesnt let even a bird in
Come on turn back
Around thousand residents were in this palace during the Sultans time, now Ataturks few employees were lost there By the time I found the kitchen I asked the chef to take me to Ataturk He laughed I could hardly find here in half an hour I wont go anywhere, he said
When a waiter came, I found the department of the aidedecamps and with his help ud player Şevki had come Nobody was there except the two of us
Without hope, we both went the before Ataturk Two friends played a Peşrev (prelude) there was neither a singer nor any other musician Ataturk said to Şevki
Please sing a Gazel (extemporaneous vocal Taksim)
Şevkis voice is terrible but my clever friend started to a Taksim (partition) with his marvellous playing of ud in the Rast makam, the one of the makams Ataturk liked Ataturks started to sing, in reply to the Taksim By that time some of our friends were able to arrive and we together played and sang until the late time of the night There was a dining table for 24 persons in the middle of the hall Nuri Conker was sitting on his right hand side, on the lefthand side future Member of Parliament Asafs wife was seated, the others I knew were the Minister of Education, Asaf, Şukru Kaya and some further guests
Those times Ataturk was preparing his Grand Speech The talk was of this subject Ataturk read some prepared parts of the Speech and narrated his memories
Hours passed while we are sitting at the table eating and drinking I only know that, until that time, if there was a music group in a party, music always continued from the beginning till the end But we had been in the Palace for about 4 or 5 hours and had only played for a short time and now for about two hours we were sitting there
