BÜYÜKKILIÇ, “IF WE LEARN A LESSON, HISTORY WILL NOT REPEAT”
In his statement about the program, Büyükkılıç commemorated the martyrs with gratitude, wishing God's mercy to all the martyrs. President Büyükkılıç said the following in his speech: “We commemorate our martyrs with mercy and gratitude in those winter conditions where 75 thousand of our young people and soldiers were martyred and they turned a blind eye to life in the Akbar Mountains. While commemorating their memories, I would like to continue my words by remembering our 12 martyrs in the last period in the person of these martyrs, and before that, our 7 brothers who were martyred at the stop in front of Erciyes University, whose 15th anniversary we remember, and of course all our martyrs. First of all, I congratulate our KAYMEK. While I congratulate us every year for the work our young people do on this meaningful day that reminds us theatrically, I also congratulate them for the services we provide to hundreds of thousands of people both in the city center and in other surrounding districts and their approach that attaches importance to values in their social, cultural, educational and other purposes. . I wish you to continue your work. In the words of our esteemed Governor. Once again, I congratulate KAYMEK, which we describe as the 5th university after 6 universities in Kayseri. If we learn a lesson, history will not repeat itself." Reminding once again about Israel's attacks on Gaza, Mayor Büyükkılıç said, "I want to condemn and share the understanding of genocide here," and continued his speech as follows: "We live in a difficult geography. The games played on both our country and our geography are endless. I would like to condemn and share here the Israeli Jews in Gaza's understanding of genocide against our babies, children, civilians and patients in the recent period. While reminding that our unity and solidarity are the areas that will solve the biggest problems both in our geography and in our country, I congratulate our President and his entire team, who have achieved the level of modern civilization in the real sense and implemented it with their practices, without ignoring the situation our country has reached. While we, as local administrators, are preparing our city for the future with its values and spiritual aspects in its most beautiful form, in order to be worthy of you, I once again commemorate these martyrs and all our martyrs who made this country our home and who helped us live here as a homeland." AK Party Deputy Murat Cahid Cıngı said: “There are not many words to say after our Sarıkamış martyrs. "All we can do is commemorate with mercy our martyrs who entrusted us with their blood this heavenly homeland, where we live in prosperity today," he said.
