🇹🇷 Happy Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day 🇹🇷

I cannot just spend today celebrating. If we are not going to talk about the day today, when are we going to talk about it?

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk entrusted this country to the youth,

"O Turkish youth! Your first duty is to preserve and defend Turkish independence and the Republic of Turkey, forever."

It is your first duty to take this country to new heights in science, sports, and technology. Please do whatever you can for this country.

May our glorious flag wave with your achievements 🇹🇷

Understand Atatürk correctly. Grasp his principles properly and serve the homeland, not institutions or sects.

You can achieve this service with your individual successes.

Therefore, let the weight of the Turkish Flag be on your shoulder with every step you take. Do not forget that you represent this country. Stay away from easy money-making methods such as fraud, deceit, and trickery. In everything you do, avoid behaviors that will bring harm to this country.

Stand in respect during the recitation of the National Anthem; if our flag is wrinkled, bent, or lowered, forget all your work and rectify it, even at the cost of your life.

Remember, if we do not respect our own Flag and Anthem, no one else will.

I commemorate Mustafa Kemal Atatürk with mercy.
