"Determination, Courage, and Victory: Remembering the Great Heroes of Çanakkale"

"The tremendous struggle of the heroic Turkish army in the Gallipoli Campaign not only shapes the history of the Turkish nation but also influences the entire world history. This victory has changed the power balances of the world and once again showcased the determination of the Turkish nation.

The Gallipoli Campaign has instilled great hope and determination in the Anatolian people. This determination sparked the Turkish 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 courage. However, it should be remembered that this victory is not only a military success but also a victory that demonstrates the humanity of the Turkish soldiers.

The Gallipoli Campaign, which is a saga written in every trench, has established the principle of 'Çanakkale is impassable!' to the whole world. This battle symbolizes a great resistance against the largest armies in the world. 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 front lines. This victory has been a beacon of hope for nations that have lived under slavery for centuries. The Victory of Çanakkale is a victory won against colossal fleets equipped with the latest technological weapons and has demonstrated the determination of the Turkish nation to defend its homeland.

Today, we celebrate the 109th anniversary of the Victory of Çanakkale and respectfully commemorate the founder of our Republic, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, his comrades-in-arms, our martyrs, and all patriotic citizens. Their sacrifice and courage will always remind us of the determination of the Turkish nation in its struggle for independence and freedom.
