Mustafa Kemal Ataturk who wanted to make Turkey more secular. Secular means religious, in a nutshell. Mustafa wanted to modernize Turkey to improve its future. He made many reforms, some of which were the freedom to practice your faith, banning the Fez and the Veil that religious people wore, changing the calender, and encouraging western clothes. Without Mustafa Kemal Turkey would not be where it is right now.
