How happy is the one who says I am a Turk
Motto coined by Kemal Atatürk
"Ne mutlu Türküm diyene!" (English: "How happy is the one who says I am a Turk!") is a motto of the Republic of Turkey. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk used this phrase in his speech delivered for the 10th Anniversary of the Republic of Turkey, on 29 October 1933 (Republic Day) for the first time. In 1972, the Turkish Ministry of National Education added this phrase to the Student Oath.[1][2] This was annulled by the AKP government in 2013,[3] before it was reinstated by the Council of State in 2018.[4] However, Ministry of Education appealed against the order and Council of State has again repealed Student Oath in 2021.[5]
