Youth and Sports Day was celebrated for the first time in Samsun in 1926 under the name of Veteran Day and became official on 24 May 1935 under the name of Atatürk Day. Celebrated at Fenerbahçe Stadium with the initiatives of Beşiktaş, this first 19 May has become a sports day with the participation of hundreds of athletes from Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe. Beşiktaş Founding Member Ahmet Fetgeri AŞENİ, who spoke at the Sports Congress that took place a while after this organization, proposed that the celebrated Atatürk Day be held every year under the name of "19 May Youth and Sports Day" in order to be attributed to all the youth. This proposal, which was voted on at the congress, was accepted and became law with the approval of Atatürk. This national holiday, which was celebrated as the "Youth and Sports Day" with the law dated 20 June 1938, was named "Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day" after the September 12 coup.
After the "Yemen Türküsü" concert by Safiye AYLA:
Mustafa Kemal ATATÜRK had a colorful personality... He was a simple citizen who smoked and chatted with his soldiers, shared ayran with the villagers, drank coffee with sugar, made fortune-telling, wore a nightgown, and crossed legs. He did not choose food, he ate every meal that came to the table. He loved carnivore, dried beans and pilaf, rose jam, and roasted chickpeas. He was a free-spirited intellectual who walked the streets unprotected with his friends, went to Lebon to eat cake, to Rejans to Borç soup, to Vefa to drink boza, and who liked to do whatever he thought.
The Republic was established after seven great wars. 1856 Crimea, 1877 Ottoman-Russian, 1892 Greek, 1911 Tripoli, 1912 Balkan, 1914-18 First World War, finally 1920-1922 Independence War. Only the last of these battles ended in victory. But this victory did not only ask the citizen for his life and blood. This war was won by asking the horse, car, sock, oxcart, linen cloth, and window iron from the citizen.
The misfortune of the Turkish Republic is its establishment on a collapsed economy and a country in ruins. That's why it's great.
In order to take Mustafa Kemal Pasha and his comrades to Samsun, the Bandırma Ferry was separated, following the available facilities, and İsmail Hakkı was appointed as the captain of the ship on 01.05.1919. Bandırma Steamer, which was 41 years old at that time, constantly worked on the shores of the Marmara Sea, did not go to the Black Sea much, this ship, which had little strength and resistance to the harsh waves of the Black Sea, could only work in the Marmara. İsmail Hakkı was a captain who had a good knowledge and knew the Black Sea very well. During his 27-year captainship period, he spent 5 years working in the Black Sea for a verb. He was called to his house in Şişli by Mustafa Kemal Pasha. When the captain arrived at the house, he was greeted politely by the Pasha and pointed to sit at a table with maps. Pasha asked the captain for information about the ship. Together, they determined the course of departure. The captain first explained the features of the ship and said that the ship is 41 years old, but after a short preparation period, it can be prepared for this voyage. Mustafa Kemal Pasha listened quietly to what was told and then spoke his wishes. Along the way, the ship would follow a route as close to the shore as possible. The aim was to avoid the possible attacks of enemy warships and to land on the fastest route. The journey would end in Samsun. In a possible danger, they could go to Sinop. Everything depended on developments. There was only one thought in his head when the captain was leaving Pasha asking for permission. It was to deliver this valuable man and his friends to Samsun safely. The Bandırma ferry, which left Istanbul on May 16, 1919, had the hope of reversing this collapse. The name of this hope was Mustafa Kemal Pasha.
He got on a motorboat from Beşiktaş Ferry Pier with his headquarters, passed to the Bandırma Ferry, which was waiting off the Maiden's Tower, and gave the command to move to the İsmail Hakkı Captain. The Bandırma ferry was stopped at the Sirkeci Pier and was strictly inspected by the British. Meanwhile, Mustafa Kemal Pasha told his friends the following: “This is how they rely solely on iron, steel, and armament. All they know is material! They cannot understand the strength of those who decide to die for the sake of freedom. We are bringing neither weapons nor ammunition to Anatolia; we are leading the idea and faith!”
Atatürk valued all people, but his value to women and women's rights was undeniable. He saw women not as women but as human beings like Europeans. He found their education important. He said that women should be more knowledgeable, more enlightened, and more efficient than men. Their women thought backward societies were not civilized.
As warm-blooded as an Adanalı; Although he was not from Black Sea, he was as friendly as a Black Sea person and settled as an Aydınlı. In short, he was from the yeast of the Anatolian people, from his fabric.
Gandhi, the great leader of Indian independence, spoke in the British parliament: “Come on, arrest me, but it has not done with arresting me. Here the Turks smashed the coffin prepared for their funeral at the head of the invaders. " The first President of Pakistan, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, would say on our August 30 Victory: "This victory is the victory of all captive nations."
British Prime Minister Lloyd George was the biggest supporter of the Dardanelles war. When the Turks brought the great British Empire to their knees in Çanakkale, Lloyd George would speak in the parliament as follows: “History rarely even grows it, our unfortunate is that the Turkish nation raised such a genius today, whatever we do, no matter where we go, we have not broken the will of Mustafa Kemal, I resign. "
After Mustafa Kemal ATATÜRK's Address to the Youth was recited, the event, attended by 112 people, ended with a concert of “Dağ Başını Duman Almış Marşı”, “Çökertme Türküsü”, and “Benzemez Kimse Sana Şarkısı”.
