Since 1927 it has also become Children's Day (Turkish: Çocuk Bayramı). And it’s also the only festival which is dedicated to children in the world.

  7. Atatürk is the founder of Turkish Republic. He founded the Republic of Turkey on the "29 of October, 1923". And he became the first president of the Turkish Republic. In 1934 The Turkish Grand National Assembly gave him the surname "Atatürk". Atatürk means “the Father of Turks” in English.

  13. His six principles still serve today as a sign post for establishing a democratic government: Republicanism:This is the principle which forms the main construction and shape of the Turkish Government. This is the system in which equality is the main idea. Everybody has the right to participate in the elections. Nationalism: Turkish people are keen on their independence and liberty.They have a strong feeling of love and pride for Turkey. Secularism:It doesn’t merely mean the seperation of state and religion but also the seperation of religion from educational,cultural and legal affairs. Populism:This is the principle that protects the rights of people without class distinctions. The best diplomacy should be used for sake of the people. Nobody has got more rights than others. Reformism: It means making changes and replacing traditional institutions with modern institutions. These changes help people rise to the level of modern and civilized societies. Statism:Turkey’s complete modernisation is very much dependent on economic and technological development. The state must regulate the country’s general economic activity.
