Turkish officials honor veterans during national ceremonies
Turkish officials marked Veterans Day with ceremonies in Ankara and Istanbul, emphasizing the national importance of veterans and their sacrifices.

Turan stated that veterans pay a price for the entire nation and emphasized the goal of passing the spirit of veteranhood to younger generations. He noted that Veterans Day has been officially celebrated since 2002, following the historical context of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk receiving the titles of veteran and marshal.
In Istanbul, Governor Davut Gül addressed a program in Zeytinburnu, stating that the state and the 86 million citizens of Turkey cannot fully repay the rights and sacrifices of veterans. Gül credited veterans with helping to create a Turkey free from terrorism and expressed the nation's readiness to protect its values.
