The Republic of Turkey turns 100 years old
World
Republic Day is celebrated in Turkey every year on 29 October. This year Turkey widely celebrates the centenary of the proclamation of the Republic. The second issue of Bright Uzbekistan magazine was dedicated to this very event.
On 29 October 1923, an important event took place in the history of Turkey: Mustafa Kemal Ataturk declared the country a republic, and this day became Republic Day. Despite the fact that Turkey had actually been a republic since 23 April 1920, when the Grand National Assembly of Turkey was established, the official proclamation of the Republic of Turkey took place only three and a half years later.On this significant day, 29 October 1923, the status of the state was confirmed as a republic and the official name of the country became “Türkiye Cumhuriyeti” (Turkish Republic). This was followed by a vote in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey and Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was elected as the first President of the Republic of Turkey.
In honour of the centennial of the Republic of Turkey, the Liaison Office of the Presidential Administration has planned an impressive series of events. This was stated by the head of the department, Fahrettin Altun.These events will include exciting digital exhibitions and three-dimensional shows visualising the country's achievements over its 100 years of existence.
On 29 October, a spectacular visual show with drones and fireworks will take place over the Istanbul Strait.
Special light shows are planned at various historical locations, accompanied by the Turkish National Anthem.
Istanbul's Usküdar Square will host the Digital Experience Exhibition, launched on the initiative of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. It will showcase projects that have turned from dream to reality under his leadership over the past two decades. In addition, 360 viewing platforms with advanced digital technologies will be installed at the exhibition.
