Türkiye Reopens Restored Ataturk House in Thessaloniki
(MENAFN) Türkiye’s Culture and Tourism Minister Mehmet Nuri Ersoy officially reopened the renovated Ataturk House on Sunday in Thessaloniki, a port city in Greece along the Thermaic Gulf of the Aegean Sea.
He emphasized that "paying tribute to Ataturk means safeguarding the republic and the future while also accepting responsibility for the nation."
During the ceremony, Ersoy expressed respect and gratitude toward Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the Republic of Türkiye.
He underscored that Ataturk was more than a political figure, describing him as a leader who left a lasting impression on the nation's heart.
The restoration, he said, demonstrates the profound respect and loyalty the country holds for Ataturk’s memory.
Ersoy highlighted Türkiye’s ongoing commitment to "democracy, independence, freedom, and the republic" under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s leadership.
He noted that Ataturk’s birthplace is not just a building but a historic site where the initial steps toward establishing the republic were taken.
The minister explained that the ministry undertook extensive restoration work and exhibition planning in 2022, managing the project that officially began on Dec. 19, 2024.
The Ataturk House has now been restored to its 1953 museum appearance, featuring refurbished rooms, an ethnographic exhibition, a library, and floors displaying both the history of the house and Ataturk himself.
Ersoy concluded by emphasizing Türkiye’s dedication to protecting cultural heritage.
He said the Thessaloniki Ataturk House stands as a testament to these efforts, reflecting Erdogan’s vision that the site should serve as a symbol of "peace between Türkiye and Greece."
