Doodle celebrates Türkiye National Day 2024
Today, Google Doodle celebrates Türkiye National Day 2024! On October 29 each year, people across Türkiye celebrate Republic Day to remember a historic moment in 1923. On this day, the Grand National Assembly officially declared Türkiye a republic, and Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who led the country’s independence movement, became the nation’s first president.
To honor the founder of the Republic, state officials and citizens visit Anıtkabir, Atatürk’s mausoleum in Ankara, to lay wreaths and pay their respects. People also gather in the streets and stadiums for celebrations, and in the evening, they join special walks to mark the day.
The Turkish flag, with its red and white colors, flies proudly across the country — just like in today’s Google Doodle art. At night, spectacular fireworks light up the sky, adding even more excitement to the celebrations.
Happy Republic Day, Türkiye!
