In his press release regarding the April 23rd National Sovereignty and Children's Day, the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that children growing with an awareness of national sovereignty would be the architects to a bright future.
Hisarcıklıoğlu
said, “We are grateful to Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and all his comrades for
their fight for liberation at the expense of their lives and giving this day of
pride to us. National sovereignty is an indispensable form of government for
our country.”
Hisarcıklıoğlu
said the following in his message:
“With
joy and enthusiasm, we are celebrating the 99th anniversary of the
opening of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey and the adoption of national
sovereignty.
We
are proud of being the first and only country in the world to offer their
children a holiday and share this holiday with the whole world.
Our
children, growing with the values of national sovereignty and democracy and
equipped with knowledge, are our greatest guarantee for our future.
As
the great Atatürk said, national sovereignty is the basis of freedom, equality
and justice.
Immediately
after our war for independence, the race for civilization, which will last
until eternity, began and has been put forward as the greatest goal in front of
future generations.
On
this path, we will continue to grow employment and production power by working
continuously as the business community.
It
is with these feelings and thoughts that I celebrate our nation’s April 23rd
National Sovereignty and Children's Day once again.”
