Principal of ITHS, Mr Bedrettin Suata has made welcome speech. In his
speech he stated that: I am very thankful to our chief guest who has
been always very generous to accept our invitation saving time from his
busy daily life and thus made us grateful.
Patriotism is a universal virtue. It has
always been a significant quality in all great humans. People of
Bangladesh proved themselves to be the greatest amongst all the patriots
of the world in 1952 by fighting for the mother language till death. I
salute all martyrs of the language movement of that time. This sacrifice
for Bangla is not only a victory for a single mother language but a
collective lesson for speakers of all languages. That is why today
throughout the whole world 21st February is celebrated as the International Mother Language Day.
International Turkish Hope School has
been always engaged in celebrating this special occasion in such manners
that teach the young generation the value of this virtue. It not only
is a way to show respect to the martyrs but also creates an opportunity
to develop the same patriotism in all students who are going to lead the
future.
After Principal’s speech program has started. Program lasted for about 2 hours.
Special Guest, Chief Guest, Guest of
Honour and Principal have distributed the awards to the students who
have attained first, second and third positions. After distributing the
awards they also made speech about this event.
In his speech, Special Guest Adnan Ozturk - Deputy Chief of Turkish Embassy in Bangladesh stated that: We have celebrated 21st
February two days ago with joy and fervour. Even after 60 years of
Language Movement which was in 1952 we feel, understand and respect the
heroes who struggled for their language.
I would like to congratulate Bangladesh
&its’ people. I hope such kind of organization will make strong
cultural bond between two countries.
Chief Guest Prof. AAMS Arefin Siddique-
Vice Chancellor of University of Dhaka during his speech mentioned that:
Even though being a foreign school, you are organizing Bangla Olympiad
and I am very much impressed by the quality of the performances of
foreign and native students here in ITHS. Especially, the pronunciation
of Bangla Language of foreign students was quite impressive. I am sure
that these types of events serve to strengthen the bilateral relations
of two brotherly countries. I thank ITHS for organizing such a beautiful
programme.
