Millions of Turkish citizens on April 23 participated in a large number of colorful celebrations and ceremonies to commemorate the 104th anniversary of the opening of the parliament and celebrate National Sovereignty and Children's Day.

The Turkish police force has marked the 179th anniversary of its establishment, with leading chiefs of the organization holding an official ceremony at the mausoleum of modern Türkiye's founder Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.

Commencing from the beginning of the week, the country's 81 provinces are witnessing official ceremonies for the anniversary.

Nearly 3,000 participants competed in the 88th "Grand Atatürk Run" on Dec. 24, organized to mark the 104th anniversary of the arrival of modern Türkiye founder Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in the capital Ankara.

A researcher has shared colorful footage of the ceremony in which the body of modern Türkiye founder Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was transferred from the Ethnography Museum to Anıtkabir in 1953, 15 years after his death.

Türkiye on Nov. 10 commemorated Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the leader of the country's War of Independence and the founder and architect of modern Türkiye, on the 85th anniversary of his demise.

Located in the northern province of Trabzon, Atatürk Mansion, where modern Türkiye founder Mustafa Kemal Atatürk wrote his will, will soon reopen its doors to visitors as restoration works are nearing completion.

The mansion was closed to visitors last September as part of the survey and restoration works initiated by Trabzon Municipality.
