NOVEMBER 10 – COMMEMORATION MESSAGE FOR ATATÜRK

We respectfully commemorate Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Türkiye, a great statesman and an extraordinary leader, on the anniversary of his passing, with gratitude, reverence and deep longing.
Atatürk’s philosophy, founded on reason and science, his vision of modernization, and the profound reforms he introduced in education continue to serve as a guiding light for our society’s development and our aspirations for the future.
Having entrusted us with the Republic, which he described as “my greatest work,” Atatürk laid the foundations of independence, freedom and a modern society through science, education and rational thought.
Working with a commitment to quality, academic freedom, scientific productivity and universal values in higher education is an essential part of our responsibility to carry forward his vision of reaching the level of contemporary civilization.
With these sentiments, we respectfully commemorate Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, his comrades-in-arms, and all the heroes who contributed to the founding of our Republic, with profound gratitude and respect.
