Gencer

"The heroes who have shed their blood on the soil of this country You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Rest in peace. You are now lying alongside the Mehmets of this country, in each others' arms. You, the mothers who sent their sons to war from faraway countries Wipe away your tears. Your sons are in our bosom. They are in peace and shall sleep well. After having lost their lives on this land, they have now become our sons." Mustafa Kemal ATAT RK
