The Turkish Voluntary Organizations Foundation issued a press release on 14.07.2022 on the occasion of the 6th anniversary of July 15.
WE INVITE YOU TO THE LOVE OF Türkiye
July 15, the infamous coup and invasion attempt; was suppressed and repelled by the honorable resistance of our heroic nation and the leadership of our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Our nation wrote an epic of independence on the night of July 15, 2016, with a courage and solidarity that is rarely seen in the world.
By preventing the coup attempt of the Fetullah Terrorist Organization, we showed the whole world once again that we are a strong and independent Turkey. Praise be to Allah who granted us this honor. We remember with gratitude and appreciation our 251 Martyrs, the immortals of our July 15 independence victory. We express our appreciation and thanks to our veterans and respectfully salute our national and state heroes.
As has been repeated in our history, the July 15 traitors have also collaborated with foreign powers that want to take over our country. We condemn the FETÖ terrorist organization, its members and supporters who betrayed their nation, religion and state.
We declare once again that we will never surrender to internal and external forces that threaten our independence and to their extensions, the terrorist organizations.
This nation is strong, this state is powerful. The July 15 epic is the embodiment of this. Our struggle for independence and future, which has been going on for a thousand years in these sacred lands, will continue today and tomorrow.
The true face of FETO and the destruction it has caused must be persistently explained both at home and abroad. Although this terrorist organization no longer has the ability to operate in our country, its activities abroad continue under the umbrella of the sponsoring states.
The furious FETÖ, which attempted to kill the elected President, bombed the Turkish Grand National Assembly, mosques, government offices, and streets, and fired bullets and rained bombs on the people themselves, should never be forgotten. The fight against this terrorist organization, which continues its existence in safe houses in our country and in squares abroad, should continue without slowing down.
Those who could not take control of Türkiye on July 15, 2016 through FETÖ, today want to usurp our sovereign rights. They are trying to surround Turkey in Syria, Libya, the Eastern Mediterranean, and the Sea of Islands. They want to prevent us from using our economic potential, limit our socio-political-cultural relations, and endanger our security. Türkiye is literally facing a global July 15.
It is not a coincidence that Türkiye became stronger after July 15. July 15 was a turning point and opened the way to a strong Türkiye.
As FETÖ members are purged from the state and nation, our country has begun to gain strength and stability. With our technological breakthroughs, our young population, our humanitarian aid to those in need, our support for the oppressed, our military and diplomatic power, our strong administrative system and pioneering projects, Turkey has given the world the message of “Turkey Cannot Be Stopped” as a regional power. We are much stronger now.
We are devoted to this country. “Love for Turkey” will never be erased from our hearts. We will stand against those who try to threaten us, with national unity and solidarity, by protecting our future
