=== [[File:Racenat.png]] Racist Kemalism / Far-right Kemalism ===
InMehmet Saffet (Arın) Engin, in an article in [https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ülkü_(dergi) Ülkü magazine], Mehmet Saffet (Arın) Engin, after stating that a nationalist communitysociety attaches importance to solidarity, listed factorselements such as history, language, ideals and unity of interest as elements of solidarity. Saffet Engin includes blood union in this group. Considering the blood factor among the unifying elements, Saffet Engin also shows a racist tendency by mentioningreferring to the superiority of the Turkish race, by givingconsidering placethe toblood factor among the unifying factors, and by including the concept of race rather than nation in some of his views.
Saffet Engin, who described Atatürk as the Great Genius and hailed him as the creator of the Turkish race, inat the introductionbeginning of his book in which he analyzed the Kemalist revolution, states in another partchapter inof a book he wrote, states that there iswas very little racial mixing within Anatolia. He claims that only 5.5% of dolichocephalic elements are encountered in anthropological foreignersresearches in Anatolia and that anthropologicala studiesclean haverace type is dominant. Although he states that the concept of nation is not limited to race, Saffet Engin, who believes that racial superiority is a fact, argues that the dominant race also gives the nation its character. Approaching the subject from this perspective, Saffet Engin also claims that it has been carriedscientifically outproven that the Turkish character cannot be compared with any other nation. As can be seen, Saffet Engin, who does not exclude the concept of race in the definition of nation, speaks easily of racial superiority. Although this is not an approach that dominates both his own works and the general idea of the period, the presence of these racist elements in his various writings differentiates Saffet Engin's stance.
