Turkey marked Republic Day with joy, ‘soul of resistance’

On Oct. 29, 1923, Atatürk officially declared the name of the nation and proclaimed the country’s status as a republic.

A vote then took place in the Grand National Assembly, and Atatürk, a revolutionary statesman, was elected the first president of the Republic of Turkey by unanimous vote.

Since then, Turkey celebrates the Republic Day every Oct. 29.

Republic Day was celebrated in every one of the 81 provinces of Turkey and the country’s representations abroad.
