PRESIDENT ATASOY'S MESSAGE ON THE 102ND ANNIVERSARY OF ANKARA BECOMING THE CAPITAL
“ANKARA, THE HEART OF OUR REPUBLIC”
The president of ULUSKON (International Investment and Business Confederation) and UN Goodwill Ambassador Nezaket Emine Atasoy issued a written message on the occasion of the 102nd anniversary of Ankara becoming the capital.
President Atasoy stated the following in her message:
"We Celebrate the 102nd Anniversary of Ankara Becoming the Capital
The Battle of Malazgirt opened the doors of Anatolia to our nation; in the Battle of Sakarya, the Crusader mentality that sought to take Anatolia from us was buried in the depths of history by our nation's unwavering will.
I remember with mercy, gratitude, and respect the Eternal Commander-in-Chief Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who made these lands our homeland, his comrades-in-arms, our beloved martyrs, and our heroic veterans.
I also greet with the same pride the patriots who welcomed our Great Leader on the slopes of Dikmen.
Ankara, the heart of our Republic, is not just a geography; it has become a symbol of our ideals of independence and modernity.
With this high spirit, we will continue to pass on our historical and cultural heritage to future generations.
May the 102nd anniversary of Ankara becoming the capital be blessed!"
In her statement, President Atasoy emphasized that Ankara, where the foundations of the Republic were laid and which is the center of national will, continues to be a symbol of independence and modernity today.
