EMU approves an Extended Administrative leave over annual celebrations on Turkish Republic Day

The holiday commemorates the events of 29 October 1923, when Mustafa Kemal declared that Turkey was henceforth a republic. Turkey had de facto been a republic since 23 April 1920, the date of the establishment of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, but the official confirmation of this fact came only three-and-a-half years later.

On 29 October 1923, the status of the nation as a republic was declared and its official name was proclaimed to be Türkiye Cumhuriyeti ("the Republic of Turkey"). After that, a vote was held in the Grand National Assembly, and Atatürk was elected as the first President of the Republic of Turkey.

In view of the above, Please be informed that: 29th October Turkish Republic Day and 30th October (a day after) has been granted as an administrative leave (off day) in EMU and by this it means any official school functions, including lectures, quizzes, exams, etc... are shelved till Monday 2nd November 2015.

29 Ekim Perşembe Cumhuriyet Bayramı ve 30 Ekim 2015 Cuma günü Üniversitemizde idari izin verilmesi kararlaştırılmıştır. (ders ve sınav yapılmayacaktır)
