July 15 – Democracy and National Unity Day
At the commemoration ceremony held at the Turkish Consulate General in Chicago, TASC President Attorney Seyit Şahin delivered a speech. The program was attended by our President alongside TASC Midwest Director Çağlar Çavdar, TASC Chicago Representative Mehmet Tahmisoğlu, TASC Chicago volunteers, NGO leaders, representatives of the Azerbaijani and Ahıska communities, and members of our community.
On behalf of the Turkish-American community, we extend our sincere gratitude to our Consul General in Chicago, Mr. Tahir Bora Atatanır, our Press Counselor Mr. Burak Akçeşme, and all colleagues who contributed to this meaningful ceremony.
July 15 marks the historic resistance when our nation stood up for its will, democracy, and independence. We honor our martyrs with mercy and remember our heroic veterans with gratitude.
Together, stronger and more determined!
