Anniversary of
Ataturk's Death, 10th November.

time of Ataturk’s death, the entire
country will observe a two-minute period of silence and flags will
be flown at half-mast. Other memorial events, exhibitions and
activities will take place across the country.
Atatürk was born in 1881 in Thessalonica, in
present-day Greece. While his wartime record in the Balkan Wars,
World War I and the War of Independence is outstanding, he is
chiefly remembered for founding the Turkish Republic and the
modernizing reforms that he instituted. Atatürk died on Nov.10,
1938, finally defeated by the liver disease from which he suffered.
His body was first taken to a temporary resting place at the
Ethnography Museum in Ankara on Nov. 21, 1938. When his mausoleum at
Anıtkabir was completed, he was interred with a grand ceremony on
Nov. 10, 1953, the 15th anniversary of his death.
