Turkey Commemorates the Anniversary of Atatürk’s Passing on November 10
November 10 marks the anniversary of the passing of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Turkey. Atatürk once said, “My mortal body will surely turn into soil one day. But the Republic of Turkey will live on forever.” This quote vividly reflects his unwavering belief and dedication to the country.
Every year on November 10, various events are organized to honor Atatürk. Memorial ceremonies in schools and moments of silence in government offices demonstrate how people continue to remember Atatürk and keep his legacy alive.
On this special day, local governments and non-governmental organizations across Turkey organize memorial programs to commemorate Atatürk. November 10 is not just a day of remembrance but also an opportunity to recall Atatürk’s ideals and the values of the Republic.
