    As a Turkish person, I wasn't able to be in Turkey for this year . I was feeling sad that I couldn't be able to attend 100. years celebrations and after watching your video I actually cried. I would like to be there. Thanks for your video.

    You know what makes me real emotional about this? We've been facing so many problems as a nation, I mean so many. It's not something that can be easily defined as "economic turmoil" or things like that, that would be an understatement. Especially in the last 10 years, this nation suffered from a lot of things: terror, economic crisis, societal problems, violence... We've lost our reputation in the world arena, we've somehow become the unwanted people and nation in Europe or pretty much anywhere in the world besides some exceptions. The people of Turkish Republic have been going through a process of deep insecurity, facing with unimaginable uncertainty regarding their future and their place in the world. We've been trying to convince others that we are not bad, we are not a place where you would feel unsafe, and you know what, it is so freaking frustrating.
    But besides all these, all these negativity surrounding us for almost a decade now, what you see in this video is also real. As the citiziens of Republic of Türkiye, we may curse at each other, we may dislike each other, we may fight and we may hurt each other while trying to cope with all our problems. But when it comes to our nation, our Republic, we are united. We become one, we celebrate what we share altogether, with pride. We forget what makes our lives dark and unbearable, but we remember the light that we have always followed, which is still there, no matter what. And it is not something that only some of us are aware and enjoy, but even though most of us do not know about it, it's something every Turkish citizen knows deep down. So what you see in this video, is not merely a big group of people coming together, watching a concert and waving flags. It's much more than that, it's what loyalty exactly means, what a feeling of belonging is. It's what despite everything, what keeps us here, alive, what keeps us going, what gives meaning to our lives.
    There are so many things I dislike and disapprove about my country, actually not about my country but the way things are handled and executed here. But I'm still proud. I've been to 28 countries around the world, lived in some of them for long time. And I know wherever I go, there are certainly things that I would not be able to find, the things that made me "me", the things that this nation and these people taught me and inspired me about, the things that we should not take for granted and feel proudly confident about.
    I love my people, I love my country.
    Yaşasın cumhuriyet, ilelebet...

      Çok güzel söylemişsin, tam olarak ben de aynı şeyleri düşünüyordum. Akademik olarak kendimi geliştirmek için ülkemden uzakta eğitim alıyorum şu anda ama amacım geri dönüp ülkeme faydalı öğrenciler ve mühendisler yetiştirmek. Aslında bir çoğumuzun amacı bu, bir çocuk doğunca "vatana millete hayırlı bir evlat olsun" diyoruz, hepimizin dileği bir arada mutlu, huzurlu yaşamak ve bu bağımsızlığı ilelebet muhafaza etmek. Biz emperyalist, faşist ve komünistlere karşı her cephede bağımsızlık mücadelesi vermiş ve kendi düzenini korumak için çok çalışmış bir milletiz, hala da bunun için çalışıyoruz ve gurur duymamız gereken şey tam olarak bu. Evet dünya standartlarına ulaşmak için daha çok yolumuz var, evet her şeyimiz mükemmel değil ama niyetimiz buna ulaşmak olduğu sürece ve milli bilincimiz, sağduyumuz ve birlik beraberlik ruhumuz devam ettiği sürece hedeflerimize bir bir ulaşacağız. Bunun önüne bir engel yok.

      ​@@oguzhanozalp3817 It is completely irrelevant, Atatürk already mapped out on which ideals the Turkish Republic would go on long before 1923. He did not implement some reforms instantly because there was too much reactionary backlash. You are noone to speak on behalf of millions of people including me who explicitly celebrate the revolutionary reforms brought forward by Atatürk and disregard them as "they're just simply celebrating independence". These reforms were an INTEGRAL part of the republic, and their dismantling started when """"democracy"""" came in 1950 under the same reactionaries that opposed the very foundation of the republic at the start. And for 70 years they have failed to bring down what Atatürk brought in just 10 years.

I am sad but my stay is temporary so i'm gonna pay off when i start to give lectures to my engineering students in my country.
    One thing about us: we are proud of our country and we try to do our best to sustain our freedom and indipendency and we try to safe our country from different threats every once in a while. This is literally a daily conversation in every meal table between everyone no matter where you are. Even in cafes, in universities and in our family conversations 😂 so i love us for that.

      My advice to Turks is to never lose their love for their country.
      It's the only country who ever accept them as Turks, nowhere else. The only countries that would "accept" them are now struggling to accept themselves (like the US, where I've grown up).
      Find your own way of life, love your neighbors in the region, and don't ever believe you must live under the shadows of the West. The world is changing in a way that simply will not be true.

    Thank you witnessing and sharing this great day for Turks. Türkiye is a peninsula of peace surrounded by so many unstable countries unfortunately. I am glad we are not an oil-rich country, otherwise the money thirsty politicians of the west would try to make us unstable, too. Actually, they still try since they do not want a strong Türkiye in the middle east. We will emerge the most envied country in the 21st century along with China, I hope. We have that potential.

I feel the emotions of Turkish people who were not in Türkiye on that day. Even I was sad not to be able to see all the points of Istanbul like Bosphorus, Istiklal Street etc. I would like to be in every celebration. :)
