A delegation from the "United States of the World" and the "Fondazione Mediterraneo" took part in the celebrations for Turkey's Republic Day (Cumhuriyet Bayramı), which commemorates the proclamation of the Republic of Turkey in 1923 by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
The celebrations, which took place throughout the country, included concerts, parades, fireworks and decorations with red and white flags.
Republic Day marks the formal end of the Ottoman Sultanate and the birth of modern Turkey. Although the Turkish Grand National Assembly had been established in 1920, 29 October 1923 was the official date of the proclamation, and Atatürk was elected the first president of the Republic.
The celebrations take place over several days, starting on the afternoon of 28 October and ending at midnight on 29 October. Cities are filled with Turkish flags and public events are organised.
"It is the most important national holiday in Turkey,’ said Secretary-General Michele Capasso, ‘celebrated with great pride and popular participation".
