The Republic of Turkey celebrated the 99th anniversary of the Victory Day on 30 August. On the occasion of the Victory Day, Ambassador of the Republic of Turkey to Ashgabat Togan Oral also published a message.
The following statements are included in the message of Ambassador Togan Oral.
On 30th of August, we celebrated the 99th anniversary of the start of the Great Offensive, which was a major counterattack launched by the Turkish army under the leadership of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the father of modern Turkey, against the occupying forces in 1922.
The Republic of Turkey pursues a multi-dimensional, enterprising and humanitarian foreign policy in order to ensure peace, stability, security and prosperity in its immediate vicinity and at the international level.
In this regard, Turkey has repeatedly proven its determination to overcome challenges it faces in a volatile geography marked by conflicts, irregular migration, epidemics, populism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, climate change and terrorism.
Turkey has sent medical aid to over 158 countries and 12 international organizations since the beginning the COVID-19 pandemic.
Turkey is also the largest humanitarian donor in the world, and the most generous country on the basis of per capita humanitarian spending. At the same time, Turkey is currently the top refugee hosting country in the world.
On the 99th anniversary of 30th of August Victory Day, we remember with respect and profound gratitude our eternal guardians, all our heroes, our dear martyrs and above all, the leader of our War of Independence and the founder of the Republic of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his comrades in arms and also our veterans with the same gratitude.
Taking this opportunity on this remarkable occasion, I would like to emphasize that the brotherly relations between the Turkish and Turkmen people- which have a long and deep-rooted history, and rely on “one nation two states” principle- will continue to flourish on political, commercial, economic, educational, cultural, and social areas under the leadership of H.E. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and H.E. President Gurbangulu Berdimuhamedov.
