The Republic of T\u00fcrkiye was proclaimed on 29 October 1923 at 8:30 pm by the Grand National Assembly (TBMM) in Ankara, with the unanimous vote of 158 deputies, ending 623 years of Ottoman rule.<\/p>\n<p>Road to the Republic:<\/p>\n<p>The journey began after World War I, when large parts of Anatolia were occupied by Allied powers. Mustafa Kemal Pasha landed in Samsun on 19 May 1919, launching the War of Independence. The Erzurum and Sivas Congresses (1919) united the national movement under the principle of national sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p>On 23 April 1920, the TBMM opened in Ankara, declaring &#8220;Sovereignty unconditionally belongs to the Nation&#8221; \u2014 effectively creating a new state. After victories in \u0130n\u00f6n\u00fc, Sakarya and the Great Offensive, and the Treaty of Lausanne (24 July 1923) which secured international recognition of new Turkish borders, the form of government remained unresolved.<\/p>\n<p>On the evening of 28 October 1923, at his \u00c7ankaya residence, Mustafa Kemal told close associates: &#8220;Yar\u0131n Cumhuriyet ilan edece\u011fiz \u2014 Tomorrow we will declare the Republic.&#8221; With \u0130smet Pasha, he drafted a constitutional amendment. The next day, the TBMM amended six articles of the 1921 Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>Article 1 became:<br \/>\n&#8220;Sovereignty unconditionally belongs to the Nation. The form of government of the Turkish state is a republic.&#8221;The same evening, Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk was unanimously elected the first President of the Republic.<\/p>\n<p>More Than a Name Change:<\/p>\n<p>The proclamation was not just a political change. It was the start of Atat\u00fcrk&#8217;s Revolutions \u2014 abolition of Sultanate (1922) and Caliphate (1924), secular civil and penal codes, adoption of Latin alphabet, women&#8217;s suffrage in 1934, and modern education.<\/p>\n<p>Ankara had been declared capital on 13 October 1923. A 1925 law made 29 October a national holiday \u2014 Ulusal Bayram.<\/p>\n<p>Today, from An\u0131tkabir in Ankara to torchlight processions in Kastamonu and Istanbul&#8217;s Bosphorus, T\u00fcrkiye celebrates the idea that transformed an occupied empire into a modern, secular, sovereign republic: Egemenlik Kay\u0131ts\u0131z \u015earts\u0131z Milletindir.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"rRU4d90Dt2\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/pakistan-in-the-world-september-2026\/\">Pakistan in the World \u2013 September 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Pakistan in the World \u2013 September 2026&#8221; &#8212; Pakistan In the World\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/pakistan-in-the-world-september-2026\/embed\/#?secret=niF6Pd7Ujl#?secret=rRU4d90Dt2\" data-secret=\"rRU4d90Dt2\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD : 29 Oct 2026 &#8211; Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mohammad Shehbaz Sharif, on the 103rd anniversary of the founding of the Republic of T\u00fcrkiye, extended heartfelt felicitations to, President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan, the Government and the brotherly people of T\u00fcrkiye.
