Speaking at the opening, Governor Süleyman Elban said that they were trying to keep the memory of that night alive in the emotional world of the citizens with the events organized within the scope of the 10th anniversary of the coup attempt.
Stating that the Turkish nation faced a betrayal that it had never seen in its history on July 15, Elban stated that the attempt was repelled by the strong leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the foresight of the nation.
