The embassy of Turkiye in Qatar marked on Tuesday the 100th anniversary of the Victory Day in the presence of senior diplomats, military attaches and envoys of various countries.
Turkish ambassador Dr Mostafa Goksu addressed the gathering saying: "I wholeheartedly congratulate our citizens in our country and in every part of the world on the August 30 Victory Day, which this year marks the 100th anniversary of the great victory.
"Our fight for independence, started under the leadership of Ghazi Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in Samsun in 1919, ended in a decisive and lasting victory with the Battle of the Commander-in-Chief. It was proclaimed to the entire world with the August 30 victory that these lands are our eternal homeland. This victory is the proclamation of the re-emergence on the stage of history and the rise from its ashes of a nation sought to be buried in history."
Accordingly, he stressed that he "commemorates with respect Ghazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of our Republic and the Commander-in-Chief of the Great Offensive, and his brother-in-arms."
Eventually, he expressed his happiness for Qatar's achievements: "We are very happy for Qatar, this brotherly country and our strategic partner, for hosting the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, and we are very excited about it, like our Qatari brothers and sisters. We will give our full support to finalise the event successfully."
Colonel Burak Cetin, Turkish Armed Forces and Army Attaché, further stressed the importance of the occasion and the sacrifices of the generations to maintain the independence and integrity of the Turkish territories and guarantee lasting stability and security for the country. He also pointed out the heroism of the Turkish Army and its sincerity and determination in defending the nation.
The reception also featured a message by the President of Turkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who thanked all the friendly nations that shared the Turkish people's joy on the occasion. He also highlighted the various achievements of the Turkish Republic over the past years in all fields and the responsibilities taken up by Turkiye to resolve regional problems and find them solutions.
He said: "The year 2023, when we will be celebrating the 100th year of our Republic, will inshallah mark a new millstone at which we give the good news about building the great and powerful Turkiye."
