Ziya Gökalp is the founder of Turkish sociology and one of the most important thinkers of Turkish nationalism. He is among the people who were most influenced by Atatürk, who said, "The father of my body is Ali Rıza Efendi, the father of my feelings is Namık Kemal, and the father of my ideas is Ziya Gökalp." Mehmet Ziya Gökalp says; “In any nation where the government is based on economic classes, it will be very strong. Because merchants, artisans and businessmen want the government to be strong just for their own benefit. In any country where the government is based on the civil servant class (bureaucrats), the government always weakens. Because dismissed civil servants always try to overthrow the current government in order to take over and the current civil servants in order to rise to a higher position.”

The mausoleum of Ziya Gökalp, a great writer, poet and sociologist, contains II. It is in the old Ottoman Cemetery next to the Press Museum in Çemberlitaş, which contains 144 mausoleums, including Mahmud's tomb.
