On the 85th anniversary of the passing of the Great Leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Türkiye, the sports community has issued November 10 messages.

Here are the prominent posts:

TURKISH FOOTBALL FEDERATION

"We commemorate the leader of our struggle for independence and the founder of our Republic, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, on the 85th anniversary of his passing with love, respect, gratitude, and longing. In the light of the words of the great statesman Atatürk, who earned the respect not only of the Turkish people but of all humanity, that 'The importance and sanctity of the work spent to make all the children of the nation and the country sportsmen are equally valuable and important,' our efforts to raise exemplary athletes, to instill a sports culture in society, and to develop Turkish football and carry it to the top ranks of the world will continue with determination and resolve. With these feelings and thoughts, we once again commemorate the Great Commander Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, his comrades-in-arms, and all the heroes of our struggle for independence with love, respect, mercy, and gratitude, and we bow with respect before his cherished memory."

FENERBAHÇE

"On another November 10, with the same voice and the same feeling, we are grateful, Atam! You are a duty; in every stroke we take, in every race we run, in every ball we kick, in every oar we pull, in every wind we take behind us, in every punch we throw... WE DRAW OUR STRENGTH FROM YOU, AND OUR RESPONSIBILITY FROM OUR FLAG, WHICH IS YOUR LEGACY TO US!"

GALATASARAY

"When we see your determined expression, fear leaves us. If you are thoughtful, a solution is surely near for any important issue. If you smile, we suddenly rejoice; if your gaze is weary, our spirits break. If you love a child, we become that child; if you walk in a garden, we become the saplings. Sometimes you gaze into the distance, and we become the wind, following your eyes. At Kocatepe, we become the quilt spread over you. Our heart's river overflows in the mountains of İzmir. If you dance the halay, know that we are by your side. We are your deputies in Parliament, your students in class, and your nation in your great work, Atam. In the 85 years that have passed without you, there has not been a single day we have spent without you, Atam."

BEŞİKTAŞ

"We are by your side forever."

TRABZONSPOR

"We commemorate the founder of our Republic, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, on the 85th anniversary of his passing with mercy, gratitude, and longing."
