WE WILL CELEBRATE THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY TOGETHER<\/strong><\/p>Speaking at the event, YATED Director Kadir Karakaya said: \u201cThe Maritime and Cabotage Day is a national holiday celebrated every year on July 1st. It marks a giant step toward the abolition of capitulations, one of the most important achievements in the history of our Republic, and is a milestone in the development of our country\u2019s economy and trade as well as the confirmation of our independence. It has been 99 years since our Cabotage Law came into effect on July 1, 1926. God willing, next year we will celebrate its 100th anniversary together.<\/p>
This law, which is a symbol of our sovereignty and independence in our territorial waters, laid the foundations for the development of Turkish maritime activities and economic growth. With this legislation, all cargo and passenger transport, as well as pilotage and towing services in Turkey\u2019s ports and territorial waters, began to be conducted by Turkish citizens and Turkish-flagged vessels.<\/p>

BUILDING A BRIDGE BETWEEN GENERATIONS<\/strong><\/p>Emphasizing that maritime activities are not only an economic pursuit but also a cultural and social value for T\u00fcrkiye, Kadir Karakaya said: \u201cAs a country closely connected to the sea, we believe that all our citizens should benefit from this richness. Seeing our seniors relive their memories and our children dream new dreams reminds us once again of how meaningful and timely this event is.<\/p>
We do not see this event, which we have continued with growing interest for five years, merely as a trip. This organization is a social responsibility project that builds bridges between generations, strengthens social solidarity, and lets people know they are not alone. As YATED, we will continue to develop projects for the benefit of society, promote love and culture of the sea, and highlight the importance of maritime activities. We believe that the sea is life itself and its most beautiful companion.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
