We honour his memory and steadfastly uphold his principles

We commemorate Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Turkey and the leader of our independence, with deep respect, longing and gratitude on the 88th anniversary of his passing.

10 November is a day on which, whilst sharing our nation’s collective grief, we reaffirm our responsibilities towards the Republic. To uphold Atatürk’s legacy means taking reason and science as our guide, safeguarding the secular and democratic Republic, and defending national sovereignty and full independence under all circumstances.

The will for modernisation, which lies at the heart of Kemalist thought, demands hard work and determination in every sphere of life. Making progress in education, industry, technology and production; and becoming a society that trusts in its own strength, questions and produces are the requirements of this will. We believe that economic independence can only be safeguarded through a robust production infrastructure.

At Özmodern Makina, we too view engineering, labour and production as integral parts of this responsibility. In every machine we design, every project we develop and every value we bring to our country, we strive to contribute to the ideal of a Turkey that is knowledge-based, develops its own capabilities and shapes its future through its own will.

We are committed to the ideals of independence and progress embodied in the principles of republicanism, nationalism, populism, statism, secularism and revolutionism. We regard it as our shared duty to safeguard the achievements of the Republic and to work towards leaving a stronger country for future generations.

Dear Atatürk, we shall continue to walk the path you have laid out and strive towards the goal you have set, guided by reason, science and productivity.

With respect, longing and endless gratitude…
