Sivas Congress 107th anniversary commemorations

Overview

Commemorations for the 107th anniversary of the Sivas Congress and the Republic continue across Turkey.

In Sivas, activities organized by the Governor's Office and the Sivas Municipality have included a massive traditional halay dance with 1,058 participants, a historical reenactment of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s 1919 arrival, and wreath-laying ceremonies at the Atatürk Monument. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan issued a message stating that the unity shown during the congress remains a “vital shield against modern threats to the state and nation.” Agriculture and Forestry Minister İbrahim Yumaklı also attended, connecting the historical struggle to contemporary food security goals.

In Beylikdüzü, the anniversary was observed alongside the 17th World Sivaslılar Day through a collaboration between the Beylikdüzü Municipality and the Beylikdüzü Sivaslılar Social Assistance and Cultural Association. The program at the Beylikdüzü Sivas Congress Building featured a wreath-laying ceremony, a photography exhibition, and musical performances. A lecture by Prof. Dr. Kemalettin Kuzucu addressed the historical importance of September 4, while District Governor Bülent Karacan noted that Atatürk “ignited the flame of the liberation struggle” in the Sivas region. Other speakers emphasized the congress as a foundational pillar of the Republic and a symbol of national will.
