Remarkable post about Ali Yerlikaya from Fatih Altaylı: 'If I saw him somewhere today...'

Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya shared a video dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Republic. In his post, Yerlikaya stated, "Greetings to Yörük Ali Efe, Demirci Mehmet Efe, Şahin Bey... Greetings to Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Happy 100th anniversary of our Republic."

The Republic is the final testament of our grandmothers who carried ammunition to the front on their shoulders.

The Republic is the courage of the Mehmetçik (Turkish soldier) who fixed his bayonet and launched an assault when his ammunition ran out.

The mortar of our Republic contains the precious lives of thousands of our martyrs and the noble blood of our heroic veterans.

Greetings... pic.twitter.com/sQDPALe5h8
