Mustafa Kemal Pasha’s Arrival in Samsun<\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/perapalace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Mustafa-Kemal-Pasanin-Samsun.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
As a result of the Ottoman Empire’s defeat in World War I and the occupation of the homeland by the Allied Powers, conditions were becoming much more difficult every single day and solutions were being sought for salvation. During this period, Samsun was of great strategic importance and was seen as a safe and comfortable gateway from the Black Sea to Central Anatolia.<\/p>\n
On March 9, 1919, due to the British military unit landing in Samsun and the British High Commissioner complaining that the Turkish people were arming, it was decided to send a reliable commander to the region with extraordinary powers. This commander was Mustafa Kemal Pasha. On April 30, 1919, the Government Decree regarding the appointment of Mustafa Kemal Pasha as the Inspector of the 9th Army by Sultan Vahdeddin was approved. On May 5, 1919, the order appointing Mustafa Kemal Pasha to Samsun was published in the Takv\u00eem-i Vek\u00e2yi. Following these developments, Mustafa Kemal Pasha and his staff set off from \u0130stanbul to Samsun on the Band\u0131rma Ferry on May 16, 1919.<\/p>\n
Mustafa Kemal Pasha, who arrived in Samsun with 18 people in his headquarters on May 19, 1919, had the opportunity to save the state. When they arrived in Samsun, they were greeted by a detachment whose weapons had been seized by the occupying forces and the people. Thus, May 19, 1919, went down in history as the first day of the War of Independence, also known as the National Struggle, which was a difficult struggle and ended with the declaration of the Republic in 1923. This important day, which Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk also accepted as the date of birth, is also the symbol of the rebirth of a nation. The Turkish nation united with determination and resolve in this struggle under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Pasha. Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk emphasized his trust in the youth with the words, \u201cThe rising new generation, the future is yours. We founded the Republic, you are the ones to elevate it and keep it alive.\u201d and dedicated this special day to them.<\/p>\n
<\/h2>\nMustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk’s Importance of the Youth and Sports<\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/perapalace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Mustafa-Kemal-Ataturkun-Genclige.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk knew that the role of the young generation was of vital importance in the progress of a country. He saw the youth as the future of the country, the cornerstone of the Republic of Turkey and the protector of the Republic, which he referred it as “my greatest work.” He drew attention to the fact that the future would take shape in the hands of the youth by saying, “We will leave everything to the youth. They are the hope and bright flowers of the future. All my hope is in the youth.” He showed his belief in and value for them.<\/p>\n
With the May 19 Youth and Sports Day, he presented to the youth, he expressed that sports, in addition to their contributions to physical, mental and moral development, also played an important role in raising young people in accordance with national values. He expressed this idea with the words, “All kinds of sports activities should be considered as the main elements of the national education of the Turkish youth.”<\/p>\n
<\/h2>\nAs Exciting as the First Day: May 19 Celebrations<\/strong><\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/perapalace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Ilk-Gunku-Gibi-Coskulu.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
May 19 Commemoration of Atat\u00fcrk, Youth and Sports Day continues to be celebrated every year with enthusiastic ceremonies and sports shows like the first day. This special day reminds us not to give up in the face of difficulties, to act in unity and solidarity and to look to the future with hope.<\/p>\n
In order to carry the Republic of Turkey further, it is of great importance to understand Atat\u00fcrk and to take his ideals, his vision of modernization and his love of country as a guide. Atat\u00fcrk once said, \u201cSeeing me does not mean seeing my face. If you understand and feel my ideas and my feelings, that is enough.\u201d Therefore, efforts should be made to understand, adopt and keep alive his thought system, not just remembering him physically.<\/p>\n

Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk knew that the role of the young generation was of vital importance in the progress of a country. He saw the youth as the future of the country, the cornerstone of the Republic of Turkey and the protector of the Republic, which he referred it as “my greatest work.” He drew attention to the fact that the future would take shape in the hands of the youth by saying, “We will leave everything to the youth. They are the hope and bright flowers of the future. All my hope is in the youth.” He showed his belief in and value for them.<\/p>\n
With the May 19 Youth and Sports Day, he presented to the youth, he expressed that sports, in addition to their contributions to physical, mental and moral development, also played an important role in raising young people in accordance with national values. He expressed this idea with the words, “All kinds of sports activities should be considered as the main elements of the national education of the Turkish youth.”<\/p>\n
<\/h2>\nAs Exciting as the First Day: May 19 Celebrations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

This special day reminds us not to give up in the face of difficulties, to act in unity and solidarity and to look to the future with hope.<\/p>\n
In order to carry the Republic of Turkey further, it is of great importance to understand Atat\u00fcrk and to take his ideals, his vision of modernization and his love of country as a guide. Atat\u00fcrk once said, \u201cSeeing me does not mean seeing my face. If you understand and feel my ideas and my feelings, that is enough.\u201d Therefore, efforts should be made to understand, adopt and keep alive his thought system, not just remembering him physically.<\/p>\n

If you would like to make May 19 more meaningful, you can visit the Atat\u00fcrk Museum Room<\/a> at Pera Palace Hotel on this special day. Room 101, where Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk accommodated during his stay at Pera Palace Hotel<\/a>, is also the room where he made important decisions during critical periods of the country. This room, where Atat\u00fcrk hosted many of his guests, was turned into a museum room on the 100th anniversary of his birth. The room also exhibits the Great Leader’s personal belongings, books, gifts that were sent to him, newspapers and magazines of the period. You can travel back in time and feel the traces of Atat\u00fcrk’s life at the Atat\u00fcrk Museum Room, which is open to visitors every day between 10.00 to 11.00 and 15.00 to 16.00.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" May 19, 1919, has a special place in our history that contains many heroic epics.
