Happy Anniversary of Ankara’s Proclamation as the Capital

During the most critical days of the National Struggle, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk chose Ankara not merely as a headquarters, but as the center of a vision for the future. Its proclamation as the capital on October 13, 1923, was not only an administrative decision, but also a historic turning point that defined the mindset and direction of the new Turkey.

Celebrating the 102nd anniversary of Ankara — the symbol of the Republic and the heart of independence.

“Ankara, by its position, is a most attractive and secure point in our country from the standpoint of becoming the center of administration.”
