THE Atatürk Society UK (ASUK) has shared their National Sovereignty and Children’s Day message. The day celebrated in Turkey as well as diasporas across the globe has entered its 102th year.
In a statement, ASUK said: “Our Great Leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk “April 23 is the beginning of the national history of Turkey and a new turning point. It expresses the wonder of the people of Turkey, who stood up against a whole world of hostility, in forming the Turkish Grand National Assembly.”
“ M.Kemal Atatürk gave April 23 to our children, who are the future of our society and the security of our country, and wanted them to protect the rules of national sovereignty. April 23, which is gifted to children and is the only universal holiday, is the biggest expression of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s strong belief that the future will rise on the shoulders of our children and youth. He expressed how sincerely and beautifully how much he cares for them with the following words: “Little ladies, little gentlemen! You are all a rose, star and light of fortune of the future. You are the one who will flood the country with the real light. Work accordingly by thinking about how important and valuable you are. We expect a lot from you.”
Adding “Long live April 23, National Sovereignty and Children’s Day!”
