Türkiye's Republic Day (October 29) marks the 1923 founding of the modern republic by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, marked with fireworks and a red-and-white flag display nationwide. Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, called Ramazan and Kurban Bayramı locally, typically bring the longest closures of the year, often extended by a bridging day to create a full week off.
