“We commemorate Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of our Republic, with respect, gratitude, and mercy on the anniversary of his death.

We are determined to carry this homeland, which we have inherited from him, further with perseverance in line with our national goals, which are shaped by the values of our faith and civilization.

Sustaining our Republic, which Atatürk called ‘my greatest work,’ with science, labor, morals, and the spirit of unity, and raising our young people strong, well-equipped, and with high ideals on this blessed path, are our greatest duties.

May his soul be blessed, may his place be heaven.”
