I.
Opening
of
the
Grand
National
Assembly
of
Turkey
On
April
23,
1920,
thousands
of
people
around
the
Assembly
waited
for
the
opening
of
the
Assembly
with
a
large
crowd.
After
the
necessary
ceremonies,
the
Assembly
held
its
first
meeting
with
115
representatives.
The
first
opening
speech
of
the
Assembly
was
made
by
Sinop
MP
Şerif
Bey,
the
oldest
member
elected
as
the
Chairman
of
the
Assembly.
"Dear
attendees;
It
is
known
that
the
caliphate
and
the
center
of
government
were
occupied
by
foreign
forces
with
temporary
registration
and
independence
was
restricted
in
all
respects.
Bowing
down
in
this
situation
means
that
our
nation
accepts
the
foreign
bondage
offered
to
it.
However,
our
nation,
which
was
determined
to
live
with
full
independence
and
lived
free
and
independent
from
time
immemorial,
rejected
this
slavery
firmly
and
decisively
and
immediately
started
to
gather
its
representatives
and
formed
its
supreme
Assembly.
As
the
head
of
this
supreme
Assembly
and
with
the
help
of
Allah,
I
open
the
National
Assembly
by
organizing
its
future
personally
and
declaring
it
to
the
whole
world,
within
the
full
independence
of
our
nation,
both
inside
and
outside.
"
After
this
opening
speech,
Mustafa
Kemal,
the
Ankara
MP,
took
the
floor
and
made
the
following
explanation
about
which
members
the
Assembly
will
consist
of.
"As
you
know,
your
Supreme
Assembly
is
made
up
of
respectable
deputies
who
have
been
re-elected
with
extraordinary
powers,
and
esteemed
deputies
who
came
here
to
save
their
lives
from
the
center
of
the
reign
that
was
attacked
and
occupied.
The
creation
of
a
supreme
Parliament
with
the
deputies
who
may
flee
and
come
here
has
only
been
the
subject
of
the
newly
implemented
electoral
style.

collected
as.
