To fully embrace the spirit of the Republic in the 100th year of our Republic, we will come together in Bodrum with various events. While inviting all our citizens to join our events, I particularly invite you to meet in the squares with Turkish flags in hand on the evening of October 29 and celebrate our 100th year together."
