The Presidency’s Head of Communications, Burhanettin Duran, shared a post on his NSosyal account regarding the 10th anniversary of 15 July Democracy and National Unity Day, stating that 15 July was a historic epic written by the will of the nation.
In his post, Head of Communications Duran stated:
“In the history of nations, there are landmark moments that are never forgotten. 15 July 2016 is one such day, forever etched in our collective memory as the unique epic written by our noble nation as it stood up for its will, independence, and state.
Under the leadership of our President, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, our noble nation, through its courage, foresight, and unwavering resolve, wrote a historic epic that proclaimed to the world that the national will shall never be subjugated by any power. The determination displayed that night not only thwarted the treacherous coup attempt but also became a pivotal moment that ensured Türkiye's future and democratic journey.
Remembering and never forgetting 15 July is a matter of loyalty to our noble martyrs and heroic veterans, as well as a duty borne out of our responsibility to future generations. For strong states endure not only through the capabilities they possess but also through nations that uphold their history, values, and national memory.
On the 10th anniversary of 15 July Democracy and National Unity Day, I commemorate with mercy and gratitude our noble martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the homeland, and I express my gratitude to our heroic veterans.”
