Children’s Day in Turkey and Northern Cyprus
“Children are our future!” – it is impossible to argue with this truth… She is alive and will live with us. After all, this is how it should be and so right: to love your family and take care of your children. I propose to talk about the topic of a children’s holiday in Turkey. Children’s Day in Turkey and Northern Cyprus is celebrated in the same traditions. And in order to understand them, let’s recall some of Kemal Atatürk’s statements on this matter: “Today’s small ones are tomorrow’s big ones.” “Children are the key to our future, our joy of life. It is the human duty of each of us to bring up both today’s children and tomorrow’s.” “Children must be protected from all forms of neglect and abuse. Under any circumstances, they should be treated much more specifically than adults.” “Every child should live life to the fullest. April 23 is Turkey’s only national holiday.”
In Turkey, for example, children from dozens of countries of the world in national costumes visit the Mausoleum of the founder of the Republic of Turkey – Mustafa Kemal Ataturk on this day. They lay flowers in memory of the great statesman. And also, dozens of theatrical performances and concerts for children and teenagers are held throughout the country. Children’s Day coincides with the beginning of the first convocation of the Grand National Assembly (parliament) in 1920 in Ankara. Therefore, we can say that it is a double holiday in all areas of Turkey!
Northern Cyprus is also trying to keep up with the formats and various celebrations!
Children’s Day in North Cyprus (TRNC)
The celebration usually begins with an address by the Minister of National Education and Culture. But this year, the 23rd Nisan holiday (April 23rd) and the general ceremony of “Children’s Day” will be held on a narrow scale due to the coronavirus epidemic. Unfortunately, there will be no concert programs, as this holiday is usually celebrated! The cities of Northern Cyprus are decorated with national flags. On the streets there are ribbons, flags and various hanging signs and positive-minded people. Turkish Cypriots (and Turks too) are very fond of children and are ready to do anything for them! If only to see the smile of the child. This is something national… And so touching! 🙂
This is how April 23 was usually celebrated in Northern Cyprus. But it looks like this year will be an exception! And what do Cypriots eat on holidays, and in everyday life? If you are interested in what the tables of the Turkish Cypriots look like, or the national cuisine, then read with pleasure! And, what is delicious here? Mmmm… Kebabs (shish kebab and sheftali kebab), as well as yoghurts and hellim. Very tasty… Hellim, by the way, is a traditional Cypriot cheese made from sheep’s milk. Here, we have such a delicious taste here… 🙂 Children’s Day in Turkey and Northern Cyprus. Enjoy your acquaintance! If you want to live in this beauty and next to the sea and mountains, then come to visit us… to Northern Cyprus 🙂 🙂 🙂 Good day everyone!
