Young Turks movement and Committee of Union and Progress, one of the cornerstones in Ottoman-Turkish modernization, laid the foundations of modernization reforms that would be realized in the single-party period by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his friends and constituted the backbones of the new republic and Republican People’s Party.
