Happy Republic Day on October 29

The Republic stands as the most significant symbol of the Turkish nation’s will to exist in the modern world, to determine its own destiny, and to progress on the path of civilization. We honor with gratitude the legacy entrusted to us by Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and remember all our martyrs with mercy, while expressing our deepest gratitude to our veterans. Happy Republic Day!

“The Republic, with its new and solid foundations, has not only set the Turkish nation on a secure and firm path toward a promising future but has also heralded an entirely new life in the confidence it instills in minds and hearts.”
—Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
