Turkey commemorates Veterans Day with nationwide ceremonies and new public appointments

Turkey is observing September 19 Veterans Day, marking the anniversary of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk receiving the title of 'Gazi' from the Grand National Assembly in 1921. Commemorative ceremonies and marches are being held across numerous provinces, including Antalya, Muğla, Sivas, Çanakkale, and Kahramanmaraş.

In Istanbul, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attended a ceremony for the placement of martyrs' relatives, veterans, and their families into public institutions. The Ministry of Family and Social Services announced that 571 new appointments will be made, bringing the total number of such individuals employed in the public sector to 53,179.

President Erdoğan emphasized the state's commitment to supporting these families, stating that the government will not permit any initiatives that would disrespect the efforts of veterans or the memory of martyrs. Beyond employment, the state provides various benefits, including discounts on utilities, free transportation, and educational assistance for the children of veterans and martyrs.
