REPUBLIC DAY IN TURKEY
All people in Turkey celebrate Republic Day on 29 October. The Turkish
Republic’s founder, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk,gave us this day. Republic Day is a
national holiday and the most important holiday in Turkey. The Turkish flag is
the common symbol of Republic. People have grasped some ideals such as
freedom and equality with the formation of the Republic. A republic is a form
of public management. Sovereignty unconditionally belongs to the nation in a
republican administration.
Schools, buildings and official places are usually closed on this day. Many
people go to stadiums and watch performances by children. The performances
usually consist of poetry reading and traditional Turkish dances and the like.
Some schools have a traditional show with a convoy, flags and musical bands.
Many people also visit Atatürk’s mausoleum in Ankara, the capital city of
Turkey. At GKV we watched the show by the primary school students. We felt
the same enthusiasm as they had. I hope that this will continue in the coming
years.
Our ancestors worked hard to give us a happy and peaceful society. We have
comfort, tranquility and happiness thanks to them. Republic Day is the biggest
holiday for us, and it is important that we never forget. - İlayda Dayıoğlu
