Children's Day is celebrated on April 23rd. Atatürk's biggest gift for children. Also this is the symbolic day of lining up the TBMM(Grand National Assembly of T).
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was the one who started Children's Day in T. After the Ottomans had fallen during World War I T had been occupied by other European countries such as England, Italy and France. Ataturk was a commander who gave his army courage. After a while they fought against the Europeans and just like the Ottomans, they slowly took back control of their country. There was an election and Ataturk won. He started to build up the government and create what is today the Republic of T.
Ataturk loved children and he often said: "Children are a new beginning of tomorrow". He even dedicated the day 23rd of April to the children, which is today celebrated as Children's Day as well as the date when the Republic of T was founded.
On April 23rd People from many countries all over the world give each other gifts. The United Nations participates and many people consider this a day of peace. Everybody wears their best clothes and shoes. The people who come celebrate and even do performances such as: national anthems, folk dances and many other things that are related to their countries.
