Information Technologies and Communications Authority President Ömer Abdullah Karagözoğlu has published a Republic Day message.
October 29 is the day when the Turkish nation shouts all its power to the world on the stage of history. On the 95th anniversary of our Republic, which we celebrate with great pride, we once again witness the Turkish nation's resurrection on the stage of history and that it still has words to say on these lands. For the right to speak on these lands belongs to our Republic, which rises on the heritage of a world empire that ruled the world for 600 years, and to our esteemed nation. We have never deviated for a single moment from the principle of elevating this sacred trust, established under the leadership of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, to among the world's leading states.
Every year, we continue to advance by taking one more step toward the goals we set for the 100th anniversary of our Republic. Undoubtedly, what strengthens these steps is the resolute and determined stance of the great Turkish nation. Thanks to the wisdom of our nation, Turkey continues to be respected, deterrent, and powerful not only in its own geography but throughout the world. At the foundation of this power lies, without a doubt, an unshakable faith.
On this occasion, I once again commemorate with mercy and gratitude, first and foremost Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his comrades in arms, our dear martyrs who entrusted the homeland to us with their lives and blood, and our veterans who made every material and spiritual sacrifice for this cause, and I celebrate the anniversary of the founding of our Republic with my sincerest wishes.
