In a message addressing the milestone, Devlet Bahçeli, the leader of the Nationalist Movement Party, emphasized the significance of this historic event and its impact on the nation.
Bahçeli commended the national struggle generation, which, under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, achieved remarkable feats in a short period of time. It was this generation that declared the Republic of Turkey a century ago, showcasing Turkish heroism and promoting the rich Turkish culture to the world.
The establishment of the Republic marked a turning point in Turkey’s journey towards true sovereignty. Over the past century, the Republic has solidified its place in the social conscience of the nation, both in terms of ideas and institutional structure. Bahçeli highlighted that the Republic has overcome numerous challenges and has strengthened its power, particularly with the adoption of the Presidential Government System.
Reflecting on the heroic acts and sacrifices exhibited during the War of Independence, Bahçeli stressed that the Turkish nation’s passion for independence has been a historical fact. The establishment of the Republic was driven by a deep-rooted commitment to complete independence, which Atatürk recognized and brought to fruition. Today, the people and the Republic stand united, paving the way for a prosperous future for Turkey.
Bahçeli asserted that the Republic of Turkey, often referred to as Atatürk’s greatest accomplishment, will continue to thrive and flourish in the coming century. Upholding the values of democracy, freedom, and independence, the Republican administration will remain resilient. The Republic serves as a testament to the culmination of the War of Independence and is deeply ingrained in the hearts of the Turkish people.
Furthermore, Bahçeli emphasized the importance of recognizing the heroism of the Turkish nation in the past and using it as a source of inspiration for oppressed societies around the world. He noted that the establishment of the Republic exemplifies the potential of a resilient nation to overcome adversity and achieve remarkable results.
As Turkey commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Republic, Bahçeli expressed gratitude and respect for the founding leaders, martyrs, and veterans who contributed to the nation’s success. He wished eternal happiness for the beloved nation and state, and prayed for God’s mercy. He concluded by expressing his hope that the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Turkey would be a period of unwavering loyalty, commitment, and determination.
The 100th anniversary of the Republic of Turkey is a testament to the nation’s journey towards independence, strength, and prosperity. As the Republic enters a new era, it carries with it the spirit of heroism and the determination to overcome challenges, making Turkey a beacon of hope for nations around the world.
