A
patriotic holiday AND a celebration of children, on the same date?
Every
year on April 23, the people of Turkey commemorate the first
gathering of the Turkish Parliament, which happened on this date in
1920.
Okay,
that makes sense of the “National Sovereignty Day” part. But
where do children come in?

And
it's not just symbolism. The child lawmakers actually discuss
issues that are important to them. And the child executives actually
sign executive orders about educational and environmental policies.

All
of this sounds excellent. I think ALL nations should combine their
patriotic holidays with children's days! UNICEF seems to agree and
has recognized April 23 as International Children's Day!
Also
on this date:
