Presidency's Head of Communications Fahrettin Altun shared a post on his social media account to mark July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day.
Head of Communications Altun remarked the following in his post:
"On the night of July 15, 2016, darkness gave way to light as our nation expressed the will to defend its homeland and independence.
The history we made that night demonstrated our nation's unwavering determination to defend our freedom and unity in the face of that heinous coup attempt.
July 15 is not only a story of resistance but also one of rebirth.
The nation's resolve to preserve its democracy, will, and future has taught us how to go towards the light even in the darkest hours.
Each year, we commemorate and reiterate this resolve under the leadership of our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, as an expression of our respect for our nation.
"Victory of the Nation" is the theme for this year's commemoration of July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day.
To keep alive the memory of this historic victory and pass it on to future generations, this theme will serve as the framework for every event.
Together, we will mark our victory, offering prayers for Allah to have mercy on our martyrs and paying respect to our veterans.
