Speaking at the July 15 Commemoration, President Erdoğan said: “The Ghazi Parliament, which had resisted and defeated the occupiers a century ago, thwarted, this time, the pawns of imperialism in the July 15 treason.”
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan delivered a speech during the July 15 Commemoration Ceremony at the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye (GNAT) in Ankara.
“It is true that just as our nation waged a fight on streets, squares and bridges to defend their will that night, representatives of the nation, too, courageously stood firm against the coup despite the bombs raining down on them here under the roof of the Parliament. Deputies from different political parties, displaying the kind of solidarity worthy of the Ghazi Parliament’s dignity, refused to yield to the terrorists that carried out an assassination against democracy and the will of the nation. The Ghazi Parliament, which had resisted and defeated the occupiers a century ago, thwarted, this time, the pawns of imperialism in the July 15 treason,” President Erdoğan said.
