Bolu Mayor Tanju Özcan speaks out on 'October 29 celebrations'
Following the terrorist attack on TUSAŞ facilities in Ankara, the question of whether October 29 celebrations would be canceled became a topic of discussion. Bolu Mayor Tanju Özcan announced that he would not cancel the Republic Day celebrations in defiance of terror.
A terrorist attack was carried out yesterday at the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ) facility in Kahramankazan, Ankara.
Following the terrorist attack, in which 5 people were martyred and 22 were injured, the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality had announced that celebrations were canceled.
Bolu Mayor Tanju Özcan opposed the cancellation of the events. In a statement on his X account, Özcan said, "I am not canceling Republic Day events and celebrations in defiance of terror."
Bolu Mayor Tanju Özcan stated the following:
I AM RAISING THE STAKES AND, IN DEFIANCE OF TERROR, I AM NOT CANCELING THE REPUBLIC DAY EVENTS AND CELEBRATIONS!!!
As the Bolu Municipality, we will not fall for the games of terrorist organizations that target the indivisible integrity of our country. We will continue to offer our prayers for our martyrs murdered by terrorist organizations. But we will not bow to terrorist organizations that are the servants of imperialism. We will embrace our Republic, founded with the blood of martyrs, even more firmly out of spite. We will not act cowardly; we will properly hold the events, the torchlight procession, and the celebrations on the 101st anniversary of our Republic. WE WILL NOT CANCEL!!!
In defiance of terror, I invite all patriotic residents of Bolu and all patriots whose events have been canceled to the Torchlight Procession that will start from the Governor's Office square on Tuesday, October 29, at 19:00.
I AM RAISING THE STAKES AND, IN DEFIANCE OF TERROR, I AM NOT CANCELING THE REPUBLIC DAY EVENTS AND CELEBRATIONS!!!
