In this process, where the Covid-19 epidemic deeply affects life; We are proud of celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, in which our independence, the indivisible integrity of our homeland and the Turkish nation determine its own destiny, in national unity and solidarity.
April 23, 1920 is not only the opening date of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, but also the turning point in our nation's struggle for the future, the blessed day when the foundations of our democracy and republic based on our national sovereignty were laid.
April 23, 1920 is the day when our assembly, which was established with the slogan "Sovereignty unconditionally belongs to the nation", declared to the world its determination and determination for the sake of full independence.
The founder of our Republic, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, gifted this blessed day to our children as "National Sovereignty and Children's Day" and ensured that the holy struggle of our beloved nation for our independence was passed down from generation to generation.
While we are proud of the opening of our Grand National Assembly, which we are preparing to celebrate its 100th anniversary with pride and happiness today, we should not forget that we will overcome these pandemic days together by clinging to each other even more tightly in the understanding of unity as a nation, in these days when our world and our country are going through a difficult period.
As the Construction Technology Program, we commemorate all our martyrs and veterans who gifted us this beautiful homeland with these feelings and thoughts, with mercy and gratitude.
