Cocuk Bayrami
   Each April 23，Turkey celebrates Cocuk Bayrami，or Children's Day.Turkish leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk declared the holiday in 1920，as Turkey was becoming an independent nation after the fall of the Ottoman Empire，to symbolize children were the future of the new nation.Children all over Turkey dress up in special costumes or the national costumes for Cocuk Bayrami.Many children perform in plays or musicals.The centerpiece of Cocuk Bayrami takes place in Turkey's capital，Ankara，where children from around the world sing and dance in a spectacular pageant（盛大慶典）.
