November 10th is Atatürk Memorial Day. Although it’s not an official public holiday in Turkey, it is an important occasion and one of great significance to the country as it commemorates the passing of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the first President of the Republic of Turkey. If you are in Turkey during this time, you will notice the national flags flying and hear sirens and tannoys prompting you to stop what you’re doing, stand to attention and observe a minutes silence at 9.05 am.
