On Oct. 29, 1923, Atatürk officially declared the name of the nation and proclaimed the country’s status as a republic.
A vote then took place in Turkey’s parliament, the Grand National Assembly, and Ataturk was unanimously elected the first president of the Republic of Turkey.
Since then, Turkey has celebrated Republic Day every year on Oct. 29.
Meanwhile, TOGG CEO Gürcan Karakaş said: “We are very excited. We are very happy. It is a matter of pride for us that this coincides with the Republic Day.”
