We are working with all our might to elevate and strengthen the Republic of Turkey, which is the legacy of you and our martyrs, in every field, and to grow it in stability and confidence despite the crises surrounding it.
With the goal of a great Turkey once again and the vision of the Century of Turkey, we are continuing our sacred journey from our glorious past to a brighter future with firm steps, as 85 million people, one heart and one fist.
We will walk without stopping or resting until we build a Turkey where peace, tranquility, justice, development, and brotherhood prevail in every inch of our homeland. May your soul rest in peace."
