Turkey is marking the 100th anniversary of the creation of the modern, secular republic from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire. But expect no grand pageantry or gala reception to memorialize the important milestone.
People walk next to a poster of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Istanbul, Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2023. Turkey is marking the 100th anniversary of the creation of the modern, secular Turkish Republic from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire on Sunday but without any grand pageantry or gala reception to memorialize the important milestone. People walk on Istiklal Street, Istanbul, Wednesday, Oct. 25, 2023.
Erdogan will observe the traditional protocol of laying a wreath at Ataturk’s mausoleum in the capital and shake hands with a procession of ambassadors and high-level officials at his palace. He will then travel to Istanbul to watch a procession of military ships on the Bosporus followed by a drones and fireworks show. In his speech marking the occasion, Erdogan is expected to highlight his government’s achievements in the past 20 years.
But Ahmet Hakan, columnist for the pro-government Hurriyet newspaper, says the scaled-back celebration became “inevitable” due to Israel’s actions in Gaza, which have triggered a wave of protests particularly in Muslim-majority countries, in response to Hamas’ attack on Israel on Oct. 7.
