Türkiye is joyfully celebrating the 103rd anniversary of the Republic. This year too, Turkish flags were hung on October 29 in homes, workplaces, and public spaces. Many citizens made preparations to spend the holiday with their families and friends.

These programs organized by the municipalities created opportunities for gathering and having fun together, especially for citizens living in the city.
In conclusion, Republic Day continues to be an important day in Türkiye, both historically and socially. The hanging of flags and the organization of concerts, as in every year, were among the most prominent signs of the holiday this year as well.
