Minister of Internal Affairs Mustafa Çiftçi said, "July 15 is the name of a great resistance in which our nation did not give up on its homeland while death rained down on it, and defended its call to prayer, its flag, its state and its future at the expense of its life. That night, the world saw once again that the national will cannot be surrendered, a direction cannot be drawn for Türkiye and this nation cannot be chained."
Minister Mustafa Çiftçi published a message on his virtual media account on the occasion of 'July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day'. Minister Çiftçi said, "On the night of July 15, traitors who wanted to chain our nation and national will, take our state captive and drag Türkiye's direction into darkness took action. Traitors, who submitted their conscience and dignity to the command of treason and subjugated their minds; that night, they pointed the weapon of the state at our nation and bombed our Gazi Assembly, the heart of the national will, with the state's plane. The traitors had plans. However, there was a force they did not take into account, which stood before them like steel armor: the Turks." "Our esteemed President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's historic call found a response in the hearts of millions. While the sounds of salute surrounded our country, all of Turkey stood together as one. Some of them said goodbye to their loved ones, while others stood against the tanks and bullets, with Turkish flags in their hands and unwavering faith in their hearts."
Stating that the nation was on the bridges, on the streets, on the streets on the night of July 15, Minister Çiftçi said, "The whole of Turkey, with its women, men, young and old, stood shoulder to shoulder. Fear dissipated, courage grew. Betrayal collapsed, the national will remained standing tall. July 15 is the name of a great resistance in which our nation did not give up on its homeland, while death rained down on it, and protected its call to prayer, its flag, its state and its future at the expense of its life. That night, the world saw once again that the national will cannot be surrendered, "There can be no direction for Türkiye and this nation cannot be chained. On the 15th of July Democracy and National Unity Day, I commemorate our beloved martyrs with gratitude and gratitude. May God protect our state and nation from all kinds of treason, and make our unity and brotherhood permanent, we cry out: The will is ours, the victory is ours."
