Every year, November 10, Ataturk Commemoration Day and Ataturk Week are celebrated. The founder of the Republic of Turkey Mustafa Kemal Ataturk died on November 10, 1938. The death of Ataturk, who, given the importance he placed on education, the value he placed on women, his love of animals, and should be a role model for all, has plunged people into deep grief.
He was a leader who was followed and loved not only by the Turkish people but also by various nations. Ataturk died on November 10, 1938, at 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
This year marks the 82nd anniversary of Ataturk’s death. Due to the passing of the great leader Ataturk to eternity, sirens sound at 09.05 every year and citizens remain silent for a minute.
