November 10, Ataturk Memorial Day!

Turkey is commemorating Great Leader Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the Founder of Republic of Turkey, who passed away 77 years ago. Ataturk died at 9:05 on November 10, 1938 — and every year, all of Turkey observes a moment of silence at 9:05 on that day to honor the man regarded as the greatest Turk.

It is fantastic that he is still held in such high respect in Turkey. I experienced this Memorial Day in Istanbul last year. It was so strange for traffic to come to a stop, and the city to become quiet as a sign of respect for the Father of modern Turkey.
