On this meaningful day marking the 101st anniversary of our Republic, we honor the founder of the Republic of Türkiye, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, and his comrades with deep respect, gratitude, and reverence. We are committed to raising generations that look to the future with hope, guided by the principles of independence and modernity, which are the most outstanding achievements of our Republic. With a steadfast commitment to science and education, we continue working tirelessly to lead our country toward a brighter future. As Ondokuz Mayıs University, we are working with all our strength to carry forward our Republic, which Atatürk called “My greatest work,” by safeguarding the values entrusted to us.

We remember Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and our martyrs and veterans with gratitude on this occasion. I extend my heartfelt wishes to each and every citizen of our nation for a joyous Republic Day.
