When we mention, we share each other's cultural differences, we also mean to talk about our different histories. It is highly known that March 18 is considered to be one of the most significant victory days in Turkish history and been commemorated with Turks cherishing their martyrs and war veterans. This victory was the awakening of the Turkish nation again. Çanakkale is the re-borning of one nation again in the history. The Turkish independence war was started in Çanakkale with this spirit of struggle. Therefore, we went to visit Anitkabir which one can feel the spirit of this struggle. You can see from the video shared above.
We remember them with respect, love, mercy, and gratitude. Canakkale is impassable.
”Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives...! You are now lying in the soul of a friendly country, therefore rest in peace. There is no differences between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours... You, the mothers who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well." ATATURK, (1934).
