İYİ Party Akseki Mayor Candidate Ali Kartal said the following in his message: "The March 18 Çanakkale Victory, which is an important turning point in Turkish and world history, is a very meaningful day for us to commemorate our martyrs who did not hesitate to put their lives on the line to defend and protect our homeland.
The Çanakkale epic has been both morale and light for the years of national struggle in which we experienced days of fire, and the preface of the newly established Republic of Turkey.
Çanakkale Victory, one of the most meaningful symbols of the unity and integrity of our nation, is a victory of determination and faith. If we live independently on these lands today, we undoubtedly owe this to the lives our ancestors gave for our future.
Our duty today is to protect these sacred lands, watered by the blood of our martyrs and entrusted to us, with the same consciousness and to pass them on to the next generations more safely.
"On the 18th March Martyrs' Day and the 109th anniversary of the Çanakkale Victory, which gave its name to this day, I once again commemorate all our martyrs and veterans, especially the Great Leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his comrades in arms, with gratitude and gratitude," he said.
