“March 18th
is a very special day for our nation. This day is a declaration to the world of
what we can achieve when we are one and together, and that we will never give
up our independence. The fight of our ancestors here is an example both for us
and for our future generations. We must not forget that we owe everything we
have today to the belief that 'we cannot exist without our independence.'
On the occasion of this
meaningful day, I once again commemorate Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and our
saintly martyrs with mercy and gratitude. May the souls of our heroes be
blessed.”
