İMAMOĞLU: “GOOD LUCK MUSTAFA KEMAL ATATÜRK”

Passing the Bandırma Ferry from the Galata Dock with its name in history, President Imamoğlu said that the ferry was too old and could go to Samsun? He reminded me that he started off with worries. The following statements were made in the continuation of his speech:

“It was even rumored that the Bandırma Ferry had run out of life. Moreover, after setting off from here, the steamer, which was interrogated by the British officials even when it arrived at the Maiden's Tower, was even said to be shot down by a British torpedo while on its course at sea. Rauf Orbay was giving this information. Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who set off from Istanbul, was a commander, a leader who carried the ideal of "Either independence or death" in his soul from that day on, and he set out with this feeling. It is not possible to turn back, and the future of Turkey's independence, he wrote that it is possible to head with up to Anatolia's foot, and made preparations had been set off. Having experienced that 19-day excitement until he landed in Samsun on May 1919, 4, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his comrades set off without looking back. They even relaxed a little by losing themselves amidst the stormy waves of the Black Sea while they were driving the British torpedo that followed them. Here is the beginning of May 19, 1919, when our Ata landed on Samsun. In other words, this is the place where the hopes are loaded on the Bandırma Ferry and all the beauties and good feelings for the future are filled. Here on May 16, we are here to accompany our ferry on the journey of our Ata to independence. Good luck, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. "
