Our Mayor Avni Kurt published a message on the occasion of the adoption of the National Anthem on 12 March and the commemoration day of Mehmet Akif Ersoy.
Our Mayor Avni Kurt gave the following statements in his message: ‘Do not be afraid’ begins the National Anthem.
Adopted on 12 March 1921, the anthem reflects the determination and resolve of the Turkish nation and its deep devotion to its homeland with each verse.
The National Anthem reveals the strength and fearlessness of a nation's honourable resistance to protect its freedom and achieve its independence, and in this respect, it has an important place in history.
I celebrate the anniversary of the adoption of our National Anthem, which is an impressive document of our defence of independence; I commemorate the author of the anthem, Mehmet Akif Ersoy, with respect and mercy.’
