On Friday, the Turkish president celebrated the Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day.
In his message, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, “I congratulate your 19 May Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day with my sincere feelings.”
“The date of May 19, 1919, which Gazi Mustafa Kemal gifted to the Turkish youth, is the symbol of our ancestors’ resurrection of the spirit of resistance with great faith and belief despite the impossibilities.” said.
“May 19 is the day when the Turkish Nation started to write one of the greatest heroic epics that history has ever seen, shouting that they will not bow to oppression in unity and solidarity against the imperialist powers.”
We trust our youth the most when designing and implementing our country’s democracy and development breakthroughs.
Erdoğan emphasized that as Turkey develops and grows, he will give more support to young people to realize their dreams.
With these thoughts, I congratulate once again the 19th of May Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day, and I respectfully commemorate all the heroes of our National Struggle, especially Gazi Mustafa Kemal.
May 19, 1919 was the day that Mustafa Kemal, who would later become Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, arrived in the Black Sea city of Samsun from Istanbul to organize the war in which the remnants of the Ottoman Empire became modern Turkey four years later.
