Today, we are experiencing the happiness and rightful pride of reaching the 102nd year of our Republic.
With the principle of “Hakimiyet bilâ kayd-u şart milletindir,” the Republic of Turkey has reached the age of 102, leaving behind a century. Today, in a time when oppressions and genocides occur before the eyes of the world, the value of a nation being able to determine its own destiny through the İstiklal Savaşı, which was fought collectively, is much better understood.
In the past 102 years, with the spirit of unity and togetherness, and the motivation of being an independent state, we have achieved great things. In all these innovative initiatives we have undertaken, from education to culture and arts, from infrastructure to science, technology, and sports, from national and local defense industry policies to the digital transformation required by the age, from the energy sector to space studies, we have always drawn our motivation from the spirit of independence, which is the essence of the Republic.
As Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University, while we strive to fulfill the mission of being a university focused on regional development in higher education strategically, we also prepare our youth for the future in the most equipped way as required by being a university.
On this occasion, I commemorate with gratitude all our martyrs and veterans, especially the founder of our Republic, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, and I sincerely celebrate the 29th October Republic Day of every member of our dear nation.
Long live the REPUBLIC.
Long live a FULLY INDEPENDENT TURKEY.
Prof. Dr. Hüseyin DALGAR
Rector of Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University
