We are determined to foil all the traps set against our country in the north of Syria, Iraq and the Eastern Mediterranean.

The great victory, which heralded the Republic of Turkey, our ultimate state, was the revival of the Turkish Nation, sought to be erased from history. Our nation broke the slavery chain, deemed proper to itself, with this legendary victory achieved on August 30, and proved to the entire world that it would by no means make any concession on its independence. The Great Offensive, launched under Ghazi Mustafa Kemal’s Commander-in-Chiefship on August 26, 1922, was crowned with victory in Dumlupınar after tough battles. I wholeheartedly congratulate each and every one our citizens, who live in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, our 81 provinces and across the world, on the August 30 Victory Day.
I remember with mercy and gratitude Ghazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the commander-in-chief of our War of Independence, the honorable members of the Great National Assembly of Turkey, and all the members of our military, who gifted our people this victory, on the 97 th anniversary of the great victory. “Today, we, as the nation, are celebrating the 97 th anniversary of the August 30 Victory Day, one of the golden links in our glorious history. Following is the message President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan issued on August 30 Victory Day:
