Ne mutlu Türküm diyene

Ne mutlu Türküm diyene (English: How happy is the one who says "I am a Turk") is a guiding principle of the Kemalist of the Republic of Turkey. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk used this phrase in his speech delivered for the 10th Anniversary of the Republic of Turkey, on October 29, 1933 (Republic Day) for the first time. In 1972, the Ministry of National Education of the Republic of Turkey introduced this phrase to the "Student Oath" (or "Student Pledge", Turkish: Ögrenci Andi). Today the entire text is used, among other things, in primary schools in Turkey.
