National Sovereignty and Children's Day ((トルコ語:Ulusal Egemenlik ve Çocuk Bayramı)) is one of the public holidays in Turkey and Northern Cyprus. :"Egemenlik kayıtsız şartsız milletindir." or "Hakimiyet bilâ kayd u şart milletindir." :"Sovereignty belongs unconditionally to the people." :Mustafa Kemal Atatürk ==Background== This national day, 23 April National Sovereignty and Children's Day, in Turkey is a unique event. The founder of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, made a present of April 23 to all the world's children to emphasize that they are successor of the future.〔〔 It was on April 23, 1920, during the War of Independence, that the Grand National Assembly met in Ankara and laid down the foundations of a new, independent, secular, and modern republic from the ashes of the Ottoman Empire. Following the defeat of the Allied invasion forces on September 9, 1922 and the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne on July 24, 1923, Ataturk started his task of establishing the institutions of the new state. Over the next eight years, Ataturk and his followers adopted sweeping reforms to create a modern Turkey, divorced from her Ottoman past. In unprecedented moves, he dedicated the sovereignty day to the children and entrusted in the hands of the youth the protection of this sovereignty and independence. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Sovereignty and Children's Day」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
