The official proclamation of the Turkish Republic occurred on October
29, 1923, in Ankara, Turkey. This date is now celebrated annually as
Republic Day (Cumhuriyet Bayramı) in Turkey, marking the anniversary of
the founding of the modern Turkish state. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the
leader of the Turkish War of Independence and the country's first
president, played a central role in the establishment of the Turkish
Republic. Under his leadership, Turkey underwent significant political,
social, and cultural reforms, transforming it from an Ottoman Empire
remnant into a modern, secular, and democratic nation-state. Republic
Day is one of the most important national holidays in Turkey and is
celebrated with various events, ceremonies, and festivities throughout
the country.
