Turkey National Day 2021
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Today’s Doodle celebrates the 98th anniversary of the Republic of Turkey with a depiction of the nation’s First Grand National Assembly of Turkey Building. It was here that the Turkish parliament, also known as the Grand National Assembly, declared independence on this day in 1923.
Today, the building stands in the Turkish capital of Ankara as the War of Independence and Republic Museum. Many original artifacts from the early days of the Turkish Republic are preserved in the museum. The parliament moved to its current building in 1961.
Happy National Day, Turkey!
