But our nation filled with love of the homeland has managed to survive these difficult days. But there are dozens of lessons that need to be removed from this victory. The most important of these lessons is that our War of Independence was won by the spirit of unity of our nation, and our saints were able to come together without saying Kurdish, Turkish, Laz, Circassian, Alevi, Sunni, and as a result of this unity spirit, the enemy with high military and material strength was defeated. This withdrawal after the Vienna defeat was stopped by the battle of Sakarya, and as a result, it was once again registered that Anatolia was the home of our cherished nation. I remember the heroes of our War of Independence, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Pasha and all our celebrities and veterans with mercy and gratitude." he said.
