On the 29th of October, Turkey celebrates the foundation of its Republic in 1923 by founding father Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. This goes together with Turkish flags hanging from every window in Turkey as well as some free parties in Istanbul and some amazing fireworks above the Bosphorus.

They spent quite some money on the fireworks, as you can tell from the video. Last year the show was even bigger and they also had a lasershow showing important images from Turkey’s history. This year the show was a bit shorter allegedly due to terror alerts. Still an amazing show and I bet it keeps the Turkish people in Istanbul proud of their nation for yet another year. 😉
It’s every year, so if you have the chance to be here around the end of October, seize the opportunity!

Video is impressive. I would like to see in reality.
Gerçekten Harika bir gündü. İstanbul’a, Türkiye’ye ve Cumhuriyet’imize yakışır bir şölen oldu.
Türkçe bilmiyorum. 🙁
Az sadece.
