The tenth anniversary of the establishment of the Republic of Turkey occurred on 29 October 1933 and contained a historic speech of Mustafa Kemal. Turkey hosted a Soviet delegation headed by Kliment Voroshilov, the People's Commissar for Military and Naval Affairs (equivalent to the Minister of Defense),[1] and delegations of states from the Balkans attended as well. On 26 October, a comprehensive general amnesty was enacted when the Grand National Assembly adopted Law 2330.[2][3] The ceremony began at 10:00 AM and concluded at 2:30 PM. To organize the anniversary commemorations, a ceremonies committee was formed. Upon a joint proposal by Giresun Deputy Hakkı Tarık Bey and four other deputies, official authorization was granted to extend the tenth anniversary celebrations over three days, featuring a public holiday marked by special events. The committee was also tasked with commissioning a commemorative military march, calling upon several poets to submit lyrics celebrating the Republic's achievements and the immense scale of the Turkish Revolution.[4]

Coinciding with the anniversary commemoration, classes commenced at Istanbul University, which had been reorganized from the Darülfünun.[5]
