Happy Republic Day

Under the leadership of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, our Republic—founded upon the Turkish nation’s will for independence and unshakable sense of unity—is the most precious legacy and the greatest achievement of this land.
We commemorate with respect, gratitude, and mercy Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of our Republic, his comrades-in-arms, our revered martyrs, and our veterans.
Happy Republic Day, October 29.

“The Republic is an administration based on moral virtue. The Republic is virtue.”
— Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
