MHP Chairman Devlet Bahçeli published a commemorative message on the 88th anniversary of the death of the Great Leader Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who founded the Republic of Türkiye.

Pointing out that in addition to commemorating Atatürk, it is necessary to understand his ideas and the legacy he left behind, Bahçeli said:

"The right way to keep Ataturk alive is to protect his work and develop his ideas by interpreting them with the realities of the age. It is possible by laying the foundation for policies in line with the spirit of the time."

"WE SHOULD PUT ATATÜRK'S FOUNDING PHILOSOPHY AT THE CENTER"

Stating that Atatürk's founding philosophy, state mind and basic principles should be at the center of activities, Bahçeli continued as follows:

"As the Turkish nation, putting Ataturk's founding philosophy, state mind and basic principles at the center of our activities in every aspect is the healthiest way to understand him. Understanding him means correctly understanding the political, social, cultural and economic events and strengthening the will to exist of our state and nation."

Bahçeli stated that Türkiye's historical experience and geopolitical position should be combined with scientific and technological developments and transformed into a strategic power.

Stating that Atatürk was a great statesman not only with his military successes but also with the reforms he carried out after the establishment of the Republic, Bahçeli reminded his goal of raising the Turkish nation to the level of modern civilization.

"THE HERITAGE OF THE REPUBLIC MUST BE LIVED FOREVER"

"With these thoughts, I commemorate Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, along with the heroes of the War of Independence, and our beloved martyrs, with my feelings of respect and gratitude, on the 88th anniversary of his passing away, and I pray God's mercy to all of them. I pray that their souls rest in peace and rest in peace."
