There are certain days in history that are not only remembered, but also deeply embedded in the memory of a nation.

23 April 1920 marks a historic turning point when national sovereignty was established and the foundations of our independence were laid.

The values achieved under the leadership of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk have been entrusted to children, the guarantee of our future. At the same time, 23 April is a unique celebration dedicated to all the children of the world.

On this meaningful day, we remember our Commander-in-Chief Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the heroes of the Turkish War of Independence, and all our martyrs with respect and gratitude; and we sincerely celebrate this special day for all the children of the world.
