We are also celebrating our victory with great enthusiasm. The fire of independence rising from all over Anatolia resulted in a permanent and decisive victory 102 years ago. Especially, the steps towards the establishment of the Republic of Turkey as an eternal Republic were taken. We, too, are celebrating our August 30 Victory Day here by upholding the legacy of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk from Ataşehir, working hard and striving to be public servants worthy of him. Most importantly, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk said, ‘There are no hopeless situations; there are hopeless people.’ He stated that he never lost hope. We, too, look to the future with that hope. We are doing our best to be part of a process that will sustain our Republic for centuries, carry it into eternity, and also connect the children of the Republic with prosperity.”
