With the hope of celebrating many more October 29ths together, preserving the values of our Republic, keeping its legacy alive, and passing it on to future generations…
With respect and gratitude to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the great leader who founded our Republic.
O Turkish youth!
Your first duty is to preserve and defend Turkish independence and the Turkish Republic forever.
This is the very foundation of your existence and your future. This foundation is your most precious treasure. In the future, too, there will be internal and external enemies who will wish to deprive you of this treasure.
One day, if you are compelled to defend your independence and your Republic, you will not consider the possibilities and circumstances in which you find yourself before undertaking your duty. These possibilities and circumstances may prove extremely unfavorable.
The enemies who seek to destroy your independence and your Republic may be the representatives of a victory unparalleled in the whole world. By force and deception, the fortresses of your beloved homeland may have been seized, its shipyards entered, its armies dispersed, and every corner of the country occupied in reality.
More grievous and more serious than all these circumstances, those who hold power within the country may be in negligence, delusion, or even treason. These holders of power may unite their personal interests with the political ambitions of the invaders.
The nation may be impoverished, devastated, and exhausted.
O child of the future of Türkiye!
Even under these circumstances and conditions, your duty is to save Turkish independence and the Turkish Republic.
The strength you need is present in the noble blood that flows through your veins.
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
HOW HAPPY IS THE ONE WHO SAYS, “I AM A TURK!” 🇹🇷
