Sovereignty unconditionally belongs to the Nation

"Egemenlik, kayıtsız şartsız Milletindir" is written on the wall of the General Assembly Hall in the Grand National Assembly

Sovereignty unconditionally belongs to the Nation (Turkish: Egemenlik, kayıtsız şartsız Milletindir) is the founding principle of the Republic of Turkey. This principle is written on the wall behind the chairman of the General Assembly Hall in the Grand National Assembly.

Anybody, any clan, any denomination or any group should not have directly power of order in the community. The Nation has unique source and one owner for superior power of order itself.[1]

The first letter in the word "Milletindir" (Nation) is written with a capital letter, as it refers to the "Turkish Nation".
