“WE DO NOT SEE YOU AS ANY DIFFERENT FROM OUR FAMILY”
Meram Mayor Mustafa Kavuş expressed his satisfaction in participating in the program and said, “For God's sake, we love you very much. We do not see ourselves as different from our family. Alhamdulillah, we have been coming together for years. May God not let any of us experience the pain of having a child. We have reached very good points in the fight against terrorism. "The old days are far away," he said.
“THIS IFTAR HAS BECOME A TRADITION”
Karatay Mayor Hasan Kılca wished that the month of Ramadan would bring goodness to everyone and said, “In these beautiful hours of Ramadan in Konya, we are breaking our first iftar together with our martyrs' relatives and veterans. This became a tradition. May God preserve our unity and solidarity forever. May God not give opportunity to those who set their eyes on our country and state. "Together, hopefully, we will continue to protect this Turkish-Islamic land forever."
“WE CAN NEVER PAY THEIR RIGHTS”
Selçuklu Mayor Ahmet Pekyatırcı emphasized that the families of martyrs, veterans and relatives of veterans are entrusted to them and said, “There is little we can do for them. We can never repay them. Because it is the blood of our martyrs that made this country our homeland. This country is their trust to us. We always strive to be with the families of our martyrs. May God grant us Eid al-Fitr in peace and happiness.”
"YOU ARE OUR COUNTRY'S MOST IMPORTANT HEROES"
In his speech, Konya Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Uğur İbrahim Altay stated that they once again remembered the sacrifices of martyrs and veterans at the iftar table, where they felt the spirituality of the holy month of Ramadan more deeply.
Emphasizing that raising children who will be beneficial to humanity as parents is a unique sacrifice and an extremely sacred job, President Altay continued as follows:
“In our eyes, you are the most important heroes of this country. To all parents who raised their children for the sake of this country, especially the families of martyrs and veterans; We are also grateful to the wives and children of our martyrs. Your presence will continue to be a balm for the deepest wounds and a cure for the greatest pain in this nation. Just like our martyrs, you are the most valuable children of this country. What you have experienced and the struggle you have endured are the greatest assurance that this country remains free and independent. This sacred fire lit by our ancestors, who rushed from victory to victory with the understanding of 'If I die, I become a martyr, if I stay, I become a veteran', who opened and ended eras; It burns strong thanks to you. We remember you not only today, but every day, with respect and love. Together, we will continue to move towards building a stronger, more prosperous Turkey, full of peace and brotherhood. "I commemorate with gratitude our martyrs who fell to the ground as if they were falling into a rose garden for the sake of this country and all our heroes who were honored with the rank of veteran."
“OUR INSTITUTIONS AND MUNICIPALITIES HAVE ALWAYS WORKED HARD-HANDLE WITH THE FAMILIES OF THE MARTYRS IN KONYA”
AK Party Konya Deputy Tahir Akyürek stated that they have been blessed to be with the families of martyrs, veterans and relatives of veterans every Ramadan for about 20 years and said, “This is very meaningful and valuable for us. I would like to thank our Metropolitan Mayor for organizing this beautiful meeting and congratulate you on Ramadan. In Konya, our institutions and municipalities have always worked together, arm in arm and heart to heart, with the families of the martyrs. Our relatives of martyrs and veterans also pray and contribute to every good service carried out in Konya. “I hope this beautiful walk will continue and I hope to experience many more beauties together in Konya.”
“THANKS TO YOU, THIS STATE IS STANDING”
Konya Governor Vahdettin Özkan said, “We need you. The whole public needs the spiritual atmosphere you have created. We need your prayers. It is thanks to your spirituality that this state is standing, this nation is standing and continues to serve you. It is an honor to be the relative of our martyrs who sacrificed their lives for their homeland, nation and flag, and it is an honor to be their mother, and it is an honor to be their father and sister. May God Almighty perpetuate this honor. Hopefully, you will meet our martyrs who went to heaven as guests of the Prophet in an eternal and eternal life. “I am honored to be with you,” he said.
