On the 86th anniversary of his passing, the Founder of the Republic of Turkey, Savior of our Nation, and Architect of the Republican Reforms, Great Leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, was commemorated with respect, longing, and gratitude at a ceremony organized by FMV Ayazağa Işık Schools. The ceremony began with a wreath-laying at the Atatürk bust, followed by a speech from our Principal, Mr. Özgür Alper. With heartfelt gratitude, our beloved Ata was honored through poetry, songs, enactments, and words filled with admiration. As the Işık Family, we commemorate Mustafa Kemal Atatürk—who gifted us today’s freedom, tomorrow’s hopes and confidence, and the pride of our past—with profound gratitude and respect, as we do every November 10. We vow to remain defenders of the Republic of Turkey and Ata’s principles and reforms for eternity.
