“THE STATIONAL ANTHEM WAS WRITTEN IN ALTındaĞ”

Altındağ Mayor Dr. emphasized that the National Anthem was written by Mehmet Akif Ersoy in Altındağ. Veysel Tiryaki said, "Mehmet Akif Ersoy wrote our National Anthem in a small wooden house in Altındağ, Hamamönü, right next to the Taceddin Sultan Mosque. Mehmet Akif is a figure that everyone in society should take as an example... He is a poet who gave speeches in many provinces and districts of Anatolia to support the War of Independence during the War of Independence..." 

Mayor Tiryaki said, "We must bring our children together with literature, art, poetry and books at an early age. We must ensure that our children are involved in sports and science. As the Municipality, we mobilize all our means to raise them well. I congratulate everyone who contributed to the theater show and our parents on this meaningful day. Happy 104th anniversary of the adoption of our National Anthem. May God never make this nation write the National Anthem again."
