HE SIGNED THE ANITKABIR SPECIAL BOOK

Erdoğan signed the Anıtkabir Special Book. Erdoğan stated the following:

"Dear Atatürk, today we are proudly celebrating the 103rd anniversary of the great victory as a nation. Those who harbor invading ambitions are not standing idle today, just as they were a century ago, and are pursuing insidious schemes.

In the face of plans to drag our geography into instability, our state is taking every measure for its own security and the peace of its citizens. May your soul rest in peace."
