For our situation, the quantity of the individuals who decipher the chronicled occasions in the style that will raise the national pride and cognizance of our skin toward the national interests are not very many. Notwithstanding, when the Turkish country is considered as far as solidarity and solidarity, the historical backdrop of this nation, the entire of the Republic of Turkey associated with citizenship, is loaded with occasions that will stick together in like manner delight and distress paying little heed to their starting point. Thus, the originator of the Republic of Turkey, Gazi Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, made a basic, yet extremely point by point explanation: “The general population of Turkey who established the Republic of Turkey is known as the Turkish Nation. ”

This announcement is intended to be portrayed as: “The battle in the foundation of the Republic of Turkey is the basic battle of everybody living in the domain of this express.” The best way to express that they are included in this together composed battle

It is the best treachery to make past occasions occurring as though the otherworldly creatures were working, at any rate against the battles of our kin who made and experienced these occasions, against the gore and tears of the obliteration, the carnage and tears of the demolition, and even the enduring convictions and convictions they convey in their souls.
