Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality and Gaziantep Governorship organized an opening program for the exhibitions at the 25 December Panorama Museum as part of the 103rd anniversary events of Gaziantep's Liberation.
Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Fatma Şahin and Gaziantep Governor Kemal Çeber opened exhibitions such as "Nalbant Hasan Çavuş Oil Painting" and "25 December Celebrations with Photographs Everything for Gaziantep" as part of the 25 December Celebration events. The opening ceremony was attended by Mayor Şahin and Governor Çeber, as well as Garrison Commander Major General Osman Aytaç and provincial protocol members.
"Atatürk is sending the best artist of the period here"
Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Fatma Şahin stated how great a leader Gazi Mustafa Atatürk was at the opening ceremony of the Nalbant Hasan Çavuş Oil Painting Work and said, "Atatürk says 'Sovereignty unconditionally belongs to the nation'. He opens the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations. He creates all that historical awareness through the museum. He is sending the best artist of the period here. He shows how much he values Gaziantep. He ensures that 15 works are made here. Therefore, our goal of Gaziantep, the city of education, science, culture and art, is also the greatest goal of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic. May the souls of our 6,317 martyrs rest in peace. May their resting places be heaven. Our families like you are here with us." "Each of these are true stories"
Gaziantep Governor Kemal Çeber said in his opening speech, "Those years are moments when people and events that will be written as heroic stories happened and lived in Gaziantep. It actually moves us a lot. Each of these are true stories. Sometimes we say, "This problem is very difficult in Gaziantep, how can we solve it?" After a while, we see that the problem was easily solved by itself. The spirit of our elders is still in the sky. Giving a city the title of veteran and earning it with an open forehead and an erect chest are not qualities that can be granted to everyone."
The opening of the oil painting of Nalbant Hasan Çavuş, one of the heroes of the Antep war, painted by Painter Feyhaman Duran in 1930 in Panorama 25 December Museum was carried out by Art Historian Ömer Faruk Şerifoğlu, who made a great contribution to the presentation of the work.
