This year, as in previous years, 29 October in Turkey with great enthusiasm celebrate the anniversary of the formation of the Republic. Students of the Kazakh national University named after al-Farabi, faculty of Oriental Studies, Department "TURKSOY" also joined the celebration of the 96th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Turkey.

During the Turkish language lesson, students organized an event, combining the celebration of the national celebration with Turkish traditions, and introducing students to the concepts of national identity and the place of hospitality in Turkish life. The organization of this event was undertaken by students of the 2nd year, specialty "Foreign Philology". Students welcomed their classmates, and accompanied the lesson with food and drinks, thereby demonstrating Turkish hospitality.

The key theme of the event was the emphasis on the Republican form of government, which is common in our countries. There was a screening of a short film on the theme " How was the Republic formed?", explaining to students how Ghazi Mustafa Kemal Ataturk contributed to the formation of the Republic. After the screening of the film, a discussion was held between students with the participation of teachers of the Department, and the event was transferred to the category of debates. The speakers made speeches, which touched upon the importance of both the Republic and the brotherhood of the two countries and the continuity of their cooperation in the future.

We celebrated with joy the Day of the Republic of Turkey in Almaty.
