Hisarcıklıoğlu said in his message:

“The words ‘Çanakkale cannot be crossed’ written in history with over 250,000 martyrs sacrificing their lives carries with it significant meaning. The Çanakkale Victory is the proof of what a nation who considers its homeland holier than its own life, what it will do to maintain its independence is capable of. This is a seldom-encountered sort of resistance and a true epic of tenacity.

The duty which befalls us and future generations is to ensure that these lands are characterized by peace and development and as a center of prosperity forever. Let none doubt that our flag will fly over these lands which our ancestors gladly gave their lives for will, until the end of time. Our goal is to become the most advanced country in the world and it is a goal from which we will never turn away from.

It is with these thoughts and feelings that I, on behalf of the Turkish business community, extend our gratitude to the Veteran, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and all the heroes of this epic and remember the martyrs with gratitude and respect and share in the pride of this day with our great nation.”
