On this meaningful day, when the opening of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey marked the moment our nation took control of its own destiny, we held our wreath-laying ceremony. The ceremony began with our Board of Trustees President Mehmet Serdal Sarıgül and our Vice Rector Prof. Dr. Serhat Koloğlugil placing a wreath at the Atatürk bust. This was followed by speeches highlighting the significance of this historic day.
On this special day, as we remember the founder of our Republic, Great Leader Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, with respect, gratitude, and longing, we reaffirmed our commitment to the national will, founded on his words, 'Sovereignty belongs unconditionally to the nation.
