Idealism (Turkish: Ülkücülük, Ülkücü düşünce) is the name of Alparslan Türkeş and the Nationalist Movement Party lines, as a principle of the Nine Lights Doctrine.^{[1][page needed][2][3][4]}

Origin[]

The origins of the name go back to the terms "millî mefkure (ülkü)" used by Ziya Gökalp and "millî ülkü" used by Nihal Atsız and Pan-Turkists. 1950–1953 it was used by during its years. Ülkü means "ideal" in terms of the word meaning. Nationalism is the equivalent of "idealism".^[5]

On 3 May 1944, a large group protested the prosecution of Nihal Atsız in Istanbul as well as in Ankara^[6] and his friends marched from the Ankara courthouse to Ulus square. Although the Turkism movement was a national policy in the state levels during the time of Atatürk, it begins with this event that it became a mass idea.
