As part of our 29 October Republic Day celebrations, we held our Republic March and Torchlight Procession together with our fellow citizens, accompanied by our glorious 103-metre Turkish flag.

Afterwards, the wonderful performances of the trainees of the Ula Municipality Youth Centre let us all share in the joy of the 103rd anniversary of our Republic.

We will continue to keep the values of our Republic alive and to strengthen our unity and solidarity.

I thank all our fellow citizens who were with us on this meaningful day and everyone who contributed.

Happy Republic Day!
