Saffet Gümüş, who came to participate in the march, said, "I march in Çanakkale every year from different districts of Istanbul. I never forget July 15. We do not forget our martyrs.

We say may God rest their souls in peace for all our martyrs. July 15 is as important as Çanakkale. Seven in Çanakkale "The infidels attacked us here, too, and 10 years ago, the FETO terrorist organization tried to kill us with our weapons, our soldiers, our children, our planes. God has made them miserable. Our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has made a great effort here, because with his words, with his words, the Turkish people defended their flag and homeland."
'WE WISH GOD'S RACE TO THE MARTYRS OF JULY 15'

My grandchildren were with me. May God not let them live again. That night was a spirit of Çanakkale. We said 'Çanakkale is impassable'. Çanakkale is always with that spirit, we are always with our country, our nation. I hope we will always carry this spirit forward to receive their blood and forgiveness. 15 "We wish God's mercy to the July martyrs," he said.

If such an attempt happens again, all of us, old and young, will stand on the tank with our naked bodies..."
