The nation is commemorating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Turkish Republic with enthusiasm, gratitude and profound pride, with numerous events, festivals and marches honoring both Türkiye’s founding leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and the century-old country since the beginning of the week of Oct. 29.
From the governmental institutions to the educational establishments and from the edifices that punctuate the urban landscapes to the vessels of public transportation that traverse the country’s land, citizens are zealously adorning various edifices and conveyances with the resplendent symbol of nationhood – the Turkish flag.
In every city, the local authorities, with meticulous precision, have undertaken elaborate preparations to facilitate extensive flag marches that span colossal distances.
