Turkey's 83rd Anniversary Celebrated Nationwide

[Mushtaq]

The 83rd anniversary of the foundation of the Turkish Republic is being celebrated all over Turkey.

Turkish citizens decorated boulevards and streets with Turkish flags and posters of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, founder of the country.

Celebrations were organized countrywide, particularly in Ankara, Istanbul and Izmir, as part of the anniversary.

A ceremony was also organized at the Republic Monument in Taksim, which symbolizes the foundation of the country.

I didn't know about this, anyone seen much activity around in your areas in Turkey?

No can't say I've seen any activity as I have not yet left the house but did wonder why most the TV channels have got the pictures of Ataturk in the corner.
Thanks Mushtaq

Didim had the school bands out today and something going on at the recreatiion ground near the Jandarma. Nice to see lots of houses and all shops displaying the national flag. Went to Akbuk this morning saw a lot of teenagers dressed in what I assumed were band uniforms and every lamp post had a national flag flying from it. Isn#t it nice to see how patriotic the turks are. I remember when the UK used to make a show on thier national days, but then I'm old and remember when I was proud to be british.
