October 29, 1923, a vote took place in the Grand National Assembly and Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was elected the first president of our nation by a unanimous vote. Since that day, our nation celebrates Republic Day on October 29th in honor of the birth of our Republic.

Today we celebrate an important milestone in our country’s history as we mark the 94th anniversary of the founding of our republic. The Turkish GSA of the University at Buffalo, proudly celebrates the founding of our Republic and commemorates the great leadership of Atatürk. We offer our warmest wishes to our Turkish GSA members and the millions of Turkish people that live around the world, as we celebrate the birth of the Republic of Turkey.

Commemoration of Ataturk, Youth and Sports Day 2017

Posted on May 19, 2017 by turkishgsa

Our leader, the founder of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, arrived in Samsun on May 19, 1919, to start the Turkish uprising against the invasion of the allied forces. Today, we accept the date of Ataturk’s arrival in Samsun as the starting date of our War of Independence. Following Ataturk’s wish, May 19 was declared to be Youth and Sports Day, and it was made an official holiday in 1938. The day received its present name, the “Commemoration of Ataturk, Youth and Sports Day”, in 1981, which became the 100th anniversary of Ataturk’s birth. As Turkish GSA of University at Buffalo, we are proudly celebrating this day and remembering Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and all the heroes of our Independence War with gratitude and respect.

On April 23, 1920, the foundations of the new, independent, secular, and modern Turkish republic were cemented with the founding of the Turkish Grand National Assembly during Turkish War of Independence. Grand National Assembly led by our leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk steered us through the war and defeated the Allied invasion forces on September 9, 1922, signed the Treaty of Lausanne on July 24, 1923, and officially founded the Republic of Turkey on October 29, 1923.

As Turkish students of University at Buffalo, we are proudly celebrating the 97th year of our Grand National Assembly, the unconditional representation of our sovereignty.
