"The human factor issue was no different. Turks, who had left all economic activities in the country to foreigners and Christian minorities during the imperial period, and who had neither experience nor tradition in this matter, without the help of the Armenians and Greeks who were now expelled from the country, without the help of foreigners who were kept away from these affairs for political reasons and who wanted to stay away, they had to overcome everything in a very short time.
In order to understand the magnitude of the Turkish revolution, it is necessary to look at Turkey from a future perspective. Only then can the uniqueness of the Turkish revolution in world history be realized; It can be seen that it is very different from the national liberation movements that have been experienced so far, both in terms of its effectiveness and purpose. And only then can one be judged on the actions and methods of the regime that designed and carried out the restructuring of Turkey..."
Norbert Bischoff (diplomat)
Norbert Bischoff (November 26, 1894 in Vienna, † June 30, 1960 in Vienna) was an Austrian ambassador.
Norbert Bischoff entered the foreign service in 1920 and was employed at the Federal Chancellery in the politics department, which was responsible for the foreign service at the time. In 1929 he headed Department 13 with the rank of consul. From 1930 to 1933 he was employed at the embassy in Ankara (Turkey), where he briefly served as charge d'affaires in 1933. From 1933 to 1938 he was employed in Paris (France). After the annexation of Austria in 1938, he was retired in accordance with the law for the restoration of the professional civil service and emigrated to France.
For April 16, 1945, he and Franz Sobek called a meeting of the officials staying in Vienna by posting a poster on the gate of the Federal Chancellery on Ballhausplatz. He thus officially took the building of the Federal Chancellery back into Austrian possession. In 1946, Bischoff was the representative of the Austrian government at the government in Paris under Figl.
From 1947 to 1953 he was a political representative and from July 27, 1953 to 1960 he was ambassador for the Soviet Union in Moscow. During this time the Austrian State Treaty was created.
Bischoff died in Vienna in 1960. He left a son - the sinologist Friedrich Alexander Bischoff - and a daughter. His legacy of books was given to the Austrian Institute for Eastern and Southeastern Europe in Vienna.
