“The First Step of the National Struggle, the Rebirth of a Nation”

The torch of independence that Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk lit by landing in Samsun on 19 May 1919 marked the beginning of a great epic written by our esteemed nation with unity, solidarity and love of homeland.

We celebrate with pride and enthusiasm the 107th anniversary of this meaningful day, on which the foundations of our independence and our Republic were laid, and we remember all our heroes, above all Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, with prayers, gratitude and respect.

We wish you a happy 19 May Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day.
