1938 (Ulus Newspaper, October 30, 1938) The hero of the Turkish army
Republic of Turkey relies on only two things: one nation decision, on the other hand is the winner of the qualifications and the right to be worthy of the world's most difficult circumstances if the heroism of our army; he trusts these two things. Friends! The armies that are under our command are indeed reliable armies of heroism. These ordinances have shown unprecedented heroism and dedication in history. Glory has won victories. The nation and the country are truly entitled to the debt.
