FILE - In this May 9, 2010 file photo, Syrian President Bashar Assad, right, and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan wave to the media before a meeting at the Ottoman-era Ciragan Palace in Istanbul, Turkey. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, Turkey’s independence war hero, national founder in a time of crisis, imposer of secular ideas on a mostly Muslim population and a hallowed presence long after his death. The cult of Ataturk, once a staple of Turkish state ideology, is slowly, sometimes imperceptibly, being diluted, replaced in part by the Ottoman imperial era as inspiration for a government with its own set of ideas about modernity, morality and regional stature.(AP Photo/Ibrahim Usta, File)
