Victory belongs to those who can say, “Victory is mine.” Success belongs to those who begin by saying, “I will succeed,” and ultimately say, “I have succeeded.” - Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
We take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the unique leader, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who gifted us the victory of August 30 that secured our independence and statehood, to his comrades-in-arms, and to our Heroic Army. Today, we celebrate this momentous holiday of the Turkish nation.
