The "Our Will, Our Victory" program was held by the Directorate of Immigration Administration on the occasion of July 15 Democracy and National Unity Day.
According to the statement made by the Directorate of Immigration Management, the martyrs and veterans of the coup attempt on July 15, 2016 were commemorated at the event.
In his speech here, Head of Immigration Administration Muhammet Selami Yazıcı stated that what happened on the night of July 15, 2016 was not just a coup attempt, but that the constitutional order of the Republic of Turkey, the principle of the rule of law, democratic institutions and the understanding of government based on national will were targeted.
Emphasizing that the treason attempt was unsuccessful thanks to the determined stance of the nation and the state and the will of public institutions to protect the constitutional order, Yazıcı said, "As clearly stated in the 6th article of our Constitution, 'Sovereignty belongs unconditionally to the nation.' This principle is one of the fundamental foundations of our Republic. No person, group or structure can exercise a state authority that does not derive its source from the constitution. "Like all institutions of our state, we are obliged to fulfill our duties only within the framework of the constitution, laws and the principles of the rule of law." he said.
Yazıcı commemorated all the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the indivisible integrity of the country, especially those who were martyred on July 15, and wished the veterans a healthy and peaceful life.
In the program, Head of Media-Public Relations and Protocol Department of the General Directorate of Security, Assoc. Dr. İbrahim İrdem also made a presentation on "Historical Process and Latest Situation Analysis of the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO)".
