"The
heroes who shed their blood on the soil of this nation
! You are in the
bosom of a friendly country. Rest
in peace & calm.
You lie side by
side with the Turkish soldiers.
Mothers who
sent their sons to war from a far off and,
dry your tears. Your
sons are in our hearts. They are in
peace & will sleep in peace and comfort
After giving their lives for
this soil, your sons are now our
sons too..."
Mustafa Kemal ATATÜRK
