Governor Aydoğdu: ‘The night of July 15 is the name of a resistance that brought light into darkness’

Erzincan Governor Hamza Aydogdu stated in his message issued on the occasion of the ‘July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day’ that ‘the night of July 15 is the name of a resistance that illuminated the darkness.’ Governor Aydogdu included the following statements in his message: ‘Heroism is the epic of hearts molded with love for the homeland. Every waving of the flag is a symbol of our nation’s belief in freedom. The flag is the honor of a nation, and as it waves in the sky, it is the emblem of our freedom. A nation is born out of unity; as our hearts beat with the same passion, we are Turkey. The night of July 15 is the name of a resistance that illuminated the darkness. That night, the love for the homeland in the hearts of our nation was blended with courage that stood against tanks and cannons. This noble nation, molded with sagacity and knowledge, displayed an unwavering stance against traitors, inscribing its name in history with golden letters. Our children, molded with the sagacity and knowledge of our nation, have stood firm in every difficulty throughout history, overcoming every adversity with steadfastness. As the heirs of this ancient civilization, we are determined to build the future of Turkey. Educating generations equipped with knowledge, sagacity, morality is our greatest aim. Education is not only the transfer of knowledge; it is a life philosophy harmonized with love for the homeland, justice, virtue, and honesty. When our children internalize these values, the future of our nation will brighten even more. Our stance beside the oppressed is our firm stand against the oppressor. When we set out to establish peace and tranquility, we will reach our goals with the determination and perseverance that overcomes obstacles. We proudly bear the honor of protecting our homeland with our faith-filled hearts. To combat the traitors and the ignorant among us means to walk towards the future with firmer steps guided by the lessons of our history. Dark nights like July 15 are the greatest proof that they cannot chain the will of our nation. The sagacity, knowledge, and love for the homeland of this nation have the power to thwart all kinds of traps. Our ability to look towards the future with confidence depends on raising our children and youth with this consciousness. We will always teach them that love for the homeland, morality, virtue, and honesty are the highest values. Thus, each of them will become heroes and build a bright future for Turkey. We are the unwavering soldiers of this noble cause. Our loyalty to our nation, homeland, and flag will last forever. We will work with all our might for a Turkey that we will leave as a legacy to future generations with this consciousness and awareness. We commemorate the heroic martyrs of July 15 with mercy and wish health to the veterans. The sagacity and courage they showed are an epic that our nation will never forget for centuries.
