We commemorate the Founder of our Republic Ghazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who inscribed his name in the annals of Turkish and world history in golden letters, with respect and longing on the 84th anniversary of his death.

As Ondokuz Mayıs University, I sincerely believe that our commitment to the Republic of Turkey, which is Atatürk's greatest work, will continue to grow stronger from now on as it has been until today. Our University, progressing in line with the goals set by Atatürk, continues to make a name for itself with its achievements in the national and international arena with the qualifications it has today.

With these feelings, I once again commemorate Ghazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who entrusted us with this beautiful homeland, his comrades in arms, and all the heroes of the War of Independence with mercy and gratitude.
