Our daughters are our mothers in the future, the ones who raise and raise the society. They are Happy birthday too. From now on, we will lay a wreath at the Atatürk Monument in Taksim. From there, our celebrations at the school will continue. Currently, my friends and I are doing our best to take Galatasaray, a global brand that has been growing for 120 years, even higher. This is our duty. We had a monument opening yesterday. We want to carry Galatasaray to better days. “I wish this founding day a happy day to all Galatasaray fans and the Turkish sports community,” he said.
