We commemorate the Commander-in-Chief of our War of Independence, the founder of our Republic, and a lover of railways, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, with mercy, gratitude and gratitude on the 84th anniversary of his death.
The railway, which Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk called "the way of prosperity and hope", is one of the most important elements in the history of civilization. With this motto, the young Republic of Turkey followed a national and independent railway policy. In a short time like fifteen years after the establishment of the Republic, Anatolia was built with iron nets from north to south and from west to east, and the railways operated by foreigners were nationalized.
The railways, which were neglected and left to their fate in the following years, became a state policy after 2003, and High Speed and Speed railways were built, projects were implemented one by one to renew the conventional lines and make them electrified and signaled. In this way, very important brands such as Marmaray and BTK Railway Line have been created not only for our country but also for world logistics.
Today, as in the first years of our Republic, railroads continue to bring prosperity and hope, with high-speed and high-speed rail lines that are gradually expanding with the railway mobilization.
With all these feelings, on the 84th anniversary of his death, we wish God's mercy on Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and all the heroes of our struggle for independence, and we commemorate our martyrs and veterans with gratitude.
