As we celebrate the 99th anniversary of the founding of our Republic with great enthusiasm, honor and pride; it is our belief that the Turkish nation will re-create the founding philosophy of 1923. This is the most important national holiday for our nation. Happy Republic Day to all!!”

Going on to say “As a British Turkish Community, we are duty bound to play our part defending our secular Republic and its achievements. We should inform the British public why it will be to their advantage to maintain the achievements of our modern and secular republic. We should strengthen Anglo –Turkish friendship and make valuable contributions to Great Britain in political, cultural and economic fields. As a strong and united umbrella organization, The Federation of Turkish Associations will perform its activities along these objectives and continue to be the voice of the British –Turkish community in the UK…”
