       I have read about Atatürk, the first president of Turkey.
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_War_of_Independence
       I read that he fought against Greece and the Allied Power in WWI
       from occupying the Ottoman Empire which lost WWI.
       Then, he decided to abolish the Ottoman Empire in favor of the
       new republic with him as its head for life.

       I read that he has reformed Turkey to be a secular nation and
       incorporated military education in schools.
       Overall, is he a good guy?

       Isn't he the crypto-Jew responsible for the Armenian Genocide,
       who then scapegoated the Ottomans for it?

       >  According to other sources, he was Jewish (Scholem, 2007) or
       Bulgarian (Tončeva, 2009).[37] Due to the large Jewish
       community of Salonica in the Ottoman period, many of the
       Islamist opponents who were disturbed by his reforms claimed
       that Atatürk had Dönmeh ancestors, that is Jews who converted to
       Islam publicly, but still secretly retained their belief in
       Judaism.[38]

       From Wikipedia, the one responsible for the Armenian genocide is
       the Committee of Union and Progress (İttihad ve Terakki
       Cemiyeti)

       > The CUP consolidated its power at the expense of the Freedom
       and Accord Party in the 1912 "Election of Clubs" and the 1913
       Raid on the Sublime Porte, while also growing increasingly
       splintered, radical and nationalistic due to the Balkan Wars.
       The CUP seized power following Grand Vizier Mahmud Şevket
       Pasha's assassination, with major decisions ultimately being
       decided by the party's Central Committee. A triumvirate of CUP
       leader Talât Pasha, Enver Pasha and Cemal Pasha, took control
       over the country and sided with Germany in World War I. With the
       help of their paramilitary, the Special Organization, the
       Committee regime enacted policies resulting in the destruction
       and expulsion of the empire's Armenian, Greek Orthodox, and
       Syriac Christian citizens in order to Turkify Anatolia.
