We are experiencing the joy and pride of the 102nd anniversary of the day Atatürk set foot on Samsun and paved the way for independence.Declaration of the symbol of our struggle for independence, May 19 as the Youth and Sports Day, is an indication of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's trust in youth of Turkey and the importance he attached to them. Dear Young People; as Atatürk emphasized in his words, "All my hope is in the youth", you are the future of this nation.With these feelings and thoughts; I congratulate all our youth and all of our nation on the May 19 Commemoration of Atatürk Youth and Sports Day. I remember  Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, his comrades and all our martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the sake of the independence of this country, with mercy and gratitude.                                                                                                                                                                                                  Prof. Dr. Mehmet Emin Erkan                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Rector
