Marking the 109th anniversary of the Çanakkale victory

UCWEP President Hasan Taşkın published a message on the 109th anniversary of the March 18 Çanakkale Victory.

Taşkın included the following views in his message:

Today is the 109th anniversary of the March 18 Çanakkale Victory, where we commemorate our heroes who wrote epics in Çanakkale and showed love for the homeland and sacrifice in the most beautiful way.

The Battle of Gallipoli is the most concrete example of the Turkish nation’s passion for independence and freedom. In this war, Mehmetçik achieved the impossible and shouted the truth of “Çanakkale Impassable” to the whole world.

Under the leadership of Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, hearts full of love for the homeland defended these lands by sacrificing their lives in the trenches. This victory is the best indicator of the spirit of unity and solidarity of the Turkish nation.

Today, we are proud of this victory and commemorate our martyrs who made these lands our homeland with mercy and gratitude. May their souls rest in peace!
