Happy 29 October Republic Day.

The Republic is the most powerful expression of freedom, equality and independence, symbolizing the rebirth of a nation.

The Republic of Türkiye, whose foundations were laid under the leadership of the Great Leader Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk through the faith, determination and shared ideals of our nation, today celebrates its 102nd anniversary with great pride and enthusiasm.

The Republic is not merely a form of government; it is also the name for modernization, for progress under the guidance of science and reason, and for a life worthy of human dignity.

We are conscious of the responsibility to protect this great legacy and to carry it ever further with each passing day.
As representatives of the tourism sector, we consider it our most important duty to carry the bright face and modern vision of our Republic into the future by introducing our country's values, cultural heritage and hospitality to the entire world.

As we celebrate the 102nd anniversary of the founding of our Republic,
taking as our guide the words of Atatürk, "O rising new generation! The Republic was established by us; it is you who will keep it alive and exalt it," we continue to work with determination for stronger, more productive and more hopeful tomorrows in every field.

On this meaningful day, we remember with respect, mercy and gratitude, first and foremost the founder of our Republic, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, along with all his comrades-in-arms, our beloved martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the homeland, and our heroic veterans; and I extend my most heartfelt wishes to our nation on the 29 October Republic Day.

Long live the Republic!
Long live Türkiye!
