The Embassy of Türkiye in Pakistan celebrated the 100th Anniversary of Proclamation of the Republic of Türkiye here the other day.
Türkiye Ambassador in Pakistan, Dr Mehmet Paçaci on the occasion said, “I commemorate Ghazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of our Republic, and express our gratitude to our holy martyrs and our veterans who fought for the same blessed cause and entrusted our beautiful homeland to us at the cost of their lives.”
He said, the Republic of Türkiye signified the rebirth of a noble nation from its ashes, one that preferred to die instead of making compromises on its liberty, independence, and honor.
“We are proud of being a member of such a heroic nation that has the “character of independence,” he said.
He also mentioned that the Turkish War of Independence was not only the success of the Turkish nation but also a well-documented part of our shared history with Pakistan.
