and through the entire country, sirens sing loudly and everyone stops in their tracks, whatever they`d be doing, to keep a minute of silence in his honor. Because of this guy, a turkish woman could have a speech about how she wishes american women the same rights that she enjoys. This guy propelled the country at least 300 years into the future, in the span of like 15 years of activity. Honor the real heroes, people.
Was watching Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev talking about how Pashinyan is running like rats and that the Armenian state is finally chased out of their soil like some rabid dogs and such, and a lot of Turkish people are celebrating his talks as well,
Made me remember this man's speech about Anzac soldiers who came to invade Turkey
'' Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives ... You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours ... You, the mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well. ''
