New York school's Atatürk memorial draws Turkish consul general ahead of Nov. 10
Türkiye's Consul General in New York, Ambassador Muhittin Ahmet Yazal, joined a commemoration held by the Atatürk'ün Mirası Cumhuriyet Okulu, a New York school whose name means Atatürk's Legacy Republic School. The program honored Mustafa Kemal Atatürk in the 88th year since his death.
A New York school named after the legacy of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Turkish Republic, held a commemoration program ahead of Nov. 10, the anniversary of his death, with Türkiye's top diplomat in the city in attendance.
Consul General Muhittin Ahmet Yazal, who holds the rank of ambassador, attended the Nov. 10 program of the Atatürk'ün Mirası Cumhuriyet Okulu (Atatürk's Legacy Republic School), the Consulate General of Türkiye in New York said on Sunday. The consulate thanked everyone who contributed to the event and said it remembered Atatürk "with respect, mercy and gratitude" in the 88th year since his passing.
Photos released by the consulate show Yazal speaking from a podium in front of a screen that read "10 Kasım," Turkish for Nov. 10, above an image of Anıtkabir, Atatürk's mausoleum in Ankara. Portraits of Atatürk and Turkish flags decorated the hall.
Children and guests on stage
Children dressed in red and white, some wearing T-shirts bearing Atatürk's image, later gathered on the stage with teachers and guests for a group photo. Many of the adults wore black.
After the program, guests shared a meal at tables set up in the hall.
Consulate's own ceremony on Tuesday
The consulate general will hold its own commemoration on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at the Turkish House (Türkevi) in Manhattan, across First Avenue from United Nations headquarters. The program starts at 8:45 a.m.
Atatürk died on Nov. 10, 1938, at Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul.
