President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in his message on the 107th anniversary of the Erzurum Congress, said that Turkey continues to strengthen without compromising unity and solidarity.
Erdoğan stated that the congress was a turning point where the Turkish nation united around a common goal with the determination for liberation.
This high national consciousness continues to be a source of inspiration for us today and gives us strength in our march toward the future. Without compromising our unity and solidarity, we continue to work with the same determination to further strengthen our country. Today, we once again remember with deep respect the congress participants who, by declaring 'The homeland is a whole within national borders, indivisible,' completely rejected mandate and foreign tutelage and unconditionally supported national forces.
President Erdoğan stated in his message that he remembers with respect and gratitude all the heroes of the independence struggle, especially Gazi Mustafa Kemal.
