==Background==

23 April is the day that the [[Grand National Assembly of Turkey]] was founded in 1920. The national council denounced the government of the Ottoman Sultan [[Mehmed VI]] and announced a temporary constitution.<ref name="britannica1">{{Cite encyclopedia |url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Turkey/History#ref44426 |title=The Fundamental Law and abolition of the sultanate |encyclopedia=[[Encyclopædia Britannica]] |accessdate=April 9, 2020}}</ref> During the [[Turkish War of Independence|War of Independence]], [[Grand National Assembly of Turkey|Grand National Assembly]] met in [[Ankara]] and laid down the foundations of a new, independent, secular and modern republic from the ashes of the [[Ottoman Empire]]. Following the defeat of the [[Allies of World War I|Allied invasion forces]] on September 9, 1922 and the signing of the [[Treaty of Lausanne]] on July 24, 1923, the Turkish Government started the task of establishing the institutions of a state.<ref name="britannica1"/>


23 April was declared "National Sovereignty Day" on May 2, 1921.<ref name="celepi"/> Since 1927, the holiday has also been celebrated as [[Children's Day]].<ref>{{cite journal |url=https://dergipark.org.tr/en/download/article-file/1219478 |title=Dünden Bugüne 23 Nisan Ulusal Egemenlik ve Çocuk Bayramı Etkinlikleri |trans-title=April 23 National Sovereignty and Children's Day Events from Past to Today |journal=Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi |language=Turkish |first1=Meryam |last1=Akoğlan Kozak |first2=Dilek |last2=Mutlu |volume=22 |issue=TBMM'nin 100.
