"Dear Young Ladies,
Dear Young Gentlemen!
You are all the flowers, stars, and lights of the future. You are the ones who will truly illuminate the country. Keep in mind how important and valuable you are and work accordingly. We expect great things from you."
With respect and longing, we remember Mustafa Kemal, who said these words and declared April 23rd—the date the Turkish Grand National Assembly, representing the will of the Turkish nation, was opened—as National Sovereignty and Children’s Day.
On the 105th anniversary of the opening of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, we celebrate our National Sovereignty and Children’s Day on April 23rd with great joy and happiness.
