Happy 100th Republic Day!

Today, October 29th 2023, marks the 100th Republic Day of Turkey, a nation that has soared to great heights since its inception. From its early days, modern Turkey embarked on a transformative journey, introducing radical reforms that shaped its identity. The adoption of the Latin alphabet, promotion of the Turkish language, and secularization of education and the legal system marked significant cultural shifts. Notably, Turkish women were empowered with the right to vote in 1934, ahead of many Western counterparts. Economically, Turkey transitioned from an agrarian foundation to a diversified powerhouse with strengths in manufacturing, tourism, technology, and finance. Infrastructure development has been pivotal, evident in the sprawling highways, state-of-the-art airports, and robust public transport systems. Cities like Istanbul and Ankara reflect this urban evolution, merging history with modernity. On the global front, Turkey's unique position, bridging Europe and Asia, underscores its significance as a key geopolitical player. As we commemorate this momentous occasion, we celebrate Turkey's unwavering spirit and its journey of resilience, innovation, and progress. Happy 100th Republic Day! 100.
