In Ankara, Türkiye, state officials led by Grand National Assembly Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş attended a ceremony at Anıtkabir, the mausoleum of Atatürk, to mark the 106th anniversary of the parliament’s opening and National Sovereignty and Children’s Day. Following the memorial, Kurtulmuş symbolically handed over his parliamentary seat to a sixth-grade student, continuing a beloved national tradition. Addressing visiting students at the parliament building, he emphasized the holiday’s dual significance as a tribute to democratic independence and the world’s only official day dedicated entirely to youth. These ceremonies highlight a broader week of international festivities designed to inspire children globally and showcase the country’s commitment to nurturing future generations.
