May 19, 1919 is considered the day the struggle for independence began. Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk went to Samsun on the Band\u0131rma Ferry that day and ignited the struggle that would form the foundations of the Republic of Turkey. May 19 is celebrated as “Veterans Day” for the first time in Samsun in 1926. On May 24, 1935, it became official as “Atat\u00fcrk’s Day”.<\/div>\n
Be\u015fikta\u015f Founding Member Ahmet Fetgeri A\u015feni, who suggested that this holiday be dedicated to both youth and athletes, after the celebration of Be\u015fikta\u015f Sports Club with the participation of Galatasaray and Fenerbah\u00e7e athletes in Fenerbah\u00e7e Stadium, proposes the name “19 May Youth and Sports Day”. With the proposal that was also approved by Atat\u00fcrk, its name became official with the law dated 20 June 1938 as “Youth and Sports Day”. After the September 12, 1980 coup, it became the “Commemoration of Atat\u00fcrk, Youth and Sports Day” as we know it now.<\/div>\n
