CHP leader Özgür Özel shared a post on his social media account regarding the March 3 Revolution Laws.

In his post, Özel stated the following:

"We are celebrating the 100th anniversary of the adoption of the 3 revolution laws that form the basis of the principle of secularism in Turkey.

From the principle of secularism,

From the Republic's revolutions,

From the ideal of modernization shown by Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, we will not deviate by a millimeter."


WHAT HAPPENED ON MARCH 3?

Three of the revolutions led by Atatürk were put into effect.

The Caliphate was abolished, the Law on Unification of Education (Tevhid-i Tedrisat Kanunu) was adopted, and the Ministry of Sharia and Foundations (Şeriye ve Evkaf Vekaletleri) was abolished.

This step is also seen as the first move toward a secular state.
