PRESS RELEASE
We remember the founder of our Republic, the great leader Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, with respect, longing and gratitude on the anniversary of his passing.
Atatürk was a unique leader who showed that a nation could rise from its ashes and pointed the way to reason and science. His greatest legacy was his vision of a society that thinks, produces, questions and aims for progress.
Today, guided by his words, ‘The truest guide is science,’ we look to the future of our country with hope; we understand the value of science, work and determination better with each passing day.
Atatürk's belief was not only respect for the past, but also responsibility for the future.
On this meaningful day, we remember our Father, who left us the legacy of freedom, reason and science, his comrades-in-arms and all the heroes of our Republic with respect, mercy and longing.

President of DESMÜD
