We commemorate Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Türkiye, a great statesman and an exceptional leader, with profound respect, gratitude and longing on the anniversary of his passing.
Atatürk was not merely a commander who led a nation’s struggle for independence; he was also the architect of a vision of statehood founded on modernization, reason, science, the rule of law and international peace.
The ideal of the Republic that he established remains one of the fundamental pillars of national sovereignty, democratic values, social progress and the pursuit of contemporary civilization.
Atatürk’s principle of “Peace at Home, Peace in the World” continues to hold significance today in international relations, diplomacy, peace, mutual understanding and global cooperation.
As the BDU International Diplomats Union and the CDBA Civil Diplomacy Association, we believe that preserving and upholding Atatürk’s intellectual legacy, his vision of contemporary civilization and his commitment to a peaceful world is a shared responsibility.
We respectfully commemorate Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk with gratitude and everlasting remembrance.
