ATA-DC will host a Turkish Republic Day Ball honoring the legacy of Atatürk and the nation’s journey to the present day.

The Proclamation of the Republic of Türkiye on October 29, 1923 marked a pivotal moment in Turkish history, as it signaled the end of the Ottoman Empire and the beginning of a new era with the founding of the modern, democratic, and secular Republic of Türkiye. Atatürk, the Republic’s founding father, implemented a series of reforms aimed at transforming Türkiye into a modern, democratic, and secular nation-state.

This year, as we celebrate this landmark milestone for the Turkish Republic, we look forward to a memorable Republic Ball with greater participation from the Turkish-American Associations and our community members.
