Sovereignty Unconditionally Belongs To The Nation

Sovereignty unconditionally belongs to the Nation (Turkish: Egemenlik kayıtsız şartsız Milletindir; Ottoman Turkish: حاكميّت بلاقيد و شرط ملّتڭدر, romanized: Ḥâkimiyet bilâ ḳaydü şarṭ milletiñdir) 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.

Sovereignty Unconditionally Belongs To The Nation
"Egemenlik kayıtsız şartsız Millentindir" is written on the wall of the General Assembly Hall in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey

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.

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

The phrase has been used by some Turkish newspapers in the aftermath of the failed 2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt.
