With his famous quote “Little ladies, little gentlemen, you are all the roses, the stars and the sparkling joy of our future, the ones who will elevate the nation. Always be aware of your value and significance! And work hard… We have great expectations from you.”, M. Kemal Ataturk presented April 23 to all the world’s children to emphasize that they are successor of the future. Happy National Sovereignty and Children’s Day to us all!

This year, due to Covid-19 pandemic, we invite you all to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of our National Sovereignty and Children’s Day virtually, from our homes, dressed in red and white clothes!
