ATATÜRK DECLARED TODAY AS THE YOUTH AND SPORTS DAY.

ATATÜRK SAYS THAT HE HAS ONE INTENTION,TO BUILD AN INDEPENDENT TURKISH STATE WHICH IS BASED ON NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY.

TURK’S HONOUR AND ABILITIES CANNOT ACCEPT TO LIVE AS A CAPTIVE,EITHER ‘‘INDEPENDENCE OR DEATH’’

19 MAY IS THE LIBERTY’S STEP. 19 MAY IS A DAY WHICH IS GIVEN TO THE TURKISH YOUTH.

‘‘

SPORT, ISN’T JUST THE SUPERIORITY OF BODY ABILITY. COMPREHENSION, INTELLIGENCE AND MORALITY HELPS TOO.’’

OH GREAT ATATÜRK ! AS A TURKISH YOUTH, OUR HEARTS BEAT FOR MODERN CIVILIZATION BY THE STRENGTH WHICH IS TAKEN FROM YOU.

‘‘ I LIKE ATHLETES WHO ARE INTELLIGENT, AGILE AND AT THE SAME TIME, MORAL.’’

I HEAR VOICES FROM ANATOLIA TOWARD SAMSUN THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT DISPERSING WITH WIND AND DARKNESS THERE’S SOMETHING IN THE NIGHT WHITENING WITH MUSTAFA KEMAL’S JOY
