The tremendous struggle of the heroic Turkish army on the Çanakkale Front is not only a part of Turkish history but also an event that shaped world history. This victory altered the balance of power in the world and once again showcased the determination of the Turkish nation.

The Battle of Çanakkale instilled great hope and determination in the Anatolian people. This determination sparked the War of Independence. Under the command of the great commander Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the Turkish army emerged victorious against the enemy with superior combat tactics and bravery. However, it must be remembered that this victory is not only a military success but also a victory that showcased the humanity of the Turkish soldiers.

The Battle of Çanakkale, which was an epic written in every trench, established the principle of "Çanakkale is impassable!" to the whole world. This battle symbolizes a great resistance against the world's largest armies. The Victory of Çanakkale on March 18th is a magnificent example of determination, resolve, and sacrifice.

A great saga of heroism was also written behind the lines. This victory has been a beacon of hope for nations that have lived under enslavement for centuries. The Victory of Çanakkale is a victory won against massive fleets equipped with the latest technological weapons and demonstrated the Turkish nation's determination to protect its homeland.

Today, we celebrate the 109th anniversary of the Victory of Çanakkale and remember with gratitude and respect the founder of our Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, his comrades-in-arms, our martyrs, and all patriotic citizens. The sacrifice and courage they displayed will always remind us of the determination of the Turkish nation in its struggle for independence and freedom.
