During the speeches on the meaning and significance of the day, it was emphasized that the strongest way to preserve and carry forward the spirit of independence and sovereignty represented by the August 30 Victory is to advance our Republic through reason, science, contemporary education, and a free-thinking young generation.
We commemorate the founder of our Republic, the Great Leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, and his heroic comrades-in-arms with respect, gratitude, and appreciation.
Happy August 30 Victory Day!
