Stating that they celebrated the 104th anniversary of the opening of the Turkish Grand National Assembly with pride and enthusiasm, Demir included the following thoughts in his message:
Children are the future of a society. Every society has to take care of its children and ensure that they grow up in the best possible way.
Childhood is the most beautiful period of life. No negativity or problem should reduce children's joy of life. Children are flowers that grow with love. Smiling faces, eyes shining with joy, warm hearts that always need love, actually reflect the common hope of the society.
One of our main goals is for our children, the most valuable asset of our nation, to grow up in a beautiful environment and to continue their lives without any trouble or difficulty. We must raise our children and young people, who will lead society as adults of the future, as people who have adopted the democratic social structure as a way of life, who respect the law, who obey the rules, who are open to innovations, who are away from irrationality and bigotry, who have a broad perspective, who have free thoughts, and who have high problem-solving skills. Children are our nation's most valuable asset and future. While the Great Atatürk gifted you April 23, the day the Grand National Assembly of Turkey was opened, as a holiday, he knew about the love of homeland and diligence of Turkish children and trusted you. You do not disappoint this trust with the efforts you make to establish a better world. We are proud of you. We all strive to leave a stronger, more beautiful and more livable Turkey to you, the adults of tomorrow. Today, we welcome you to take care of your own problems, deal with the country's problems, and look for solutions. We love you and trust you.
"I celebrate April 23 National Sovereignty and Children's Day with these thoughts, wish well-being to all our children and citizens, and on this occasion, I commemorate the founder of the Republic of Turkey, the Great Leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, and all his comrades in arms with longing and mercy."
