Anatolian Youth Association (AGD) Edirne Branch President Abdülhamit İriş noted that Edirne is one of the most exceptional cities in the world with its deep-rooted traditions and magnificent structures.
Stating that Edirne is a city that has educated thousands of valuable personalities as well as hundreds of works, İriş said, "Undoubtedly, Fatih Sultan Mehmet Khan, who took Istanbul and found the good news in the hadith of our Lord, is one of these names."
Reminding that as AGD, they have been celebrating the conquest of Istanbul in Edirne since 2006, İriş emphasized that they will celebrate for the 17th time this year.
Explaining that they will start the celebrations from the Tophane slope, which symbolizes the beginning of the conquest, İriş added, “We, as AGD, have been celebrating the conquest of Istanbul starting from Edirne since 2006 as an interpreter for the feelings of our nation. We will start our program "The conquest of Istanbul starts from Edirne", which symbolizes Fatih's departure on the path of conquest, from the Tophane district with the military band. We invite our fellow citizens from Edirne to this meaningful event that we will hold for the 17th time on Saturday, May 21.”
İriş said that they are trying to raise a knowledgeable, faithful and hardworking generation.
