Under the leadership of the Department of Turkish Language and Literature Department, our ceremony aimed to remind our students once again of the great faith and sacrifice with which the Republic was won 102 years ago.

Our program began with the first sentence of Atatürk’s monumental work, Nutuk (The Speech), and ended with its final words. On this meaningful journey, we listened to the story of that challenging struggle in Atatürk’s own voice. On stage, through creative drama, we revived the spirit of solidarity and resistance of those years. Once again, we deeply felt the importance of valuing, protecting, and keeping the Republic alive forever.

Today, with the same faith and determination, we proudly say: “We Are Here!”
