๐ About 29 Ekim 2026
On October 29, 1923, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk proclaimed the Republic of Turkey, replacing the six-century-old Ottoman sultanate with a secular, democratic nation-state and serving as its first president. The declaration followed years of war and diplomatic struggle, culminating in a constitutional amendment that established republican governance. Celebrations include torchlight processions, concerts, fireworks, and official ceremonies at Anitkabir, Ataturk's mausoleum in Ankara, where military and civilian leaders pay their respects. Buildings and streets across the country are adorned with Turkish flags and portraits of Ataturk, and the evening features large-scale public celebrations in city squares with live music and laser shows.
