Celebrating The Century Of Our Republic

Establishment of the Turkish Republic is the story of succeeding in a struggle that was deemed impossible to achieve, with determination and hope, on the side of truth, regardless of those who accepted defeat from the beginning. Atatürk, carrying all the wisdom and strength by his side, taught us to follow the guidance of science in every single condition. KUISCID ambitiously celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Turkish Republic, with working harder and producing more.
