CHILDREN'S DAY
Gazi Mustafa Kemal (Atatürk) declared April 23,1920,the day of the inauguration of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey,a holiday in honor of the nation’s children. Starting in 1979 Turkey began sharing its pride and joy in that historic occasion with all the world’s children.There is no other holiday in the world that brings together every year,in feelings of brother love, children reared on the principle of peace at home and peace abroad.
Entrusting the future to children and youth
In one of the most salient expressions of his progressive views,Atatürk entrusted the nation’s future to its children and young people.And the generations of Turks who founded and have nurtured a growing,developing,modern Turkey from 1920 right up to today have all emerged from among people who themselves were once children.
