On the 10th anniversary of July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day, hundreds of citizens flocked to the Memory July 15 Museum and Martyrs' Monument with Turkish flags in their hands from the early hours of the morning and prayed for the heroes who resisted the coup attempt.

On the 10th anniversary of July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day, the July 15 Martyrs' Monument and the Memory July 15 Museum, one of the symbol points of the treacherous coup attempt, were filled with intense visits from citizens. Hundreds of people of all ages came to the monument with Turkish flags in their hands from the early hours of the morning and participated in the commemoration ceremonies by reciting prayers for the martyrs. Citizens who visited the Memory 15 July Museum examined the memories of the heroes who took shelter in front of tanks to defend the national will 10 years ago, symbolic items from the night of the coup, and digital representations reflecting those historical moments. While emotional moments were experienced by praying along with the greetings recited, messages of unity and solidarity came to the fore.

"In Islam, the sala recited outside of death and Friday prayers is a call for unity and solidarity."

Merve Güzelten stated that the spirit of national unity has increased exponentially and said, "I have been in Istanbul for the last year and Istanbul is a blessed city. If a spirit starts here, this spirit will increase all over Türkiye and spread to all parts of the world. Today we are here to celebrate our beloved martyrs, the day of national unity and solidarity. In Islam, the sala recited outside of death and Friday is a call to unity and solidarity. The salutes did not remain silent on the night of July 15. It was a night that showed that our people came together. "No one could have calculated that a brave man like Ömer Halisdemir would shoot traitors from the middle of his forehead," he said.

"We will not give this flag and this land to anyone"

Emphasizing the importance of unity and solidarity, Muzaffer Çetinkaya said, "We do not forget the coup against our President 10 years ago. He said 'Go down to the squares', we went down again, we are here again. We will not give this flag and this land to anyone. Our President's way is our way. He is the world leader. Even at the NATO summit, the world followed him. Let's all 86 million of us protect our heavenly land together." - ISTANBUL
