Atatürk Centennial

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Atatürk Centennial was celebrated in Turkey and the Turkish Government organized and supported a series of events, symposiums or conferences in several countries. The centennial of his birth was also honored by the UNESCO in November 1978 by adopting a Resolution on the Atatürk Centennial in which it decided to cooperate with the Turkish Government in the organization of events in memory of the Centennial.[1] The centennial was celebrated officially between the 19 May 1981 and the 19 May 1982, but the congresses and conferences which were organized in Atatürk's memory stretched through a larger time span.[2] A considerable amount of scholars published books about his achievements.[3]
