I wholeheartedly congratulate you on the 23rd of April National Sovereignty and Children’s Day, and I kiss the eyes of all our children.
I respectfully remember Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his comrades who gifted the 23rd of April to children, as well as the esteemed members of our Grand National Assembly who successfully led the National Struggle.
Last week, we as a nation experienced two events that deeply saddened us all.
I pray to Allah for mercy upon the souls we lost in the attacks, and I wish urgent healing to our citizens whose treatments continue.
: Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
President of the Republic of Türkiye
