Sarıkamış Martyrs Remembrance Day is a deeply meaningful day dedicated to honoring, with respect, gratitude, and mercy, the tens of thousands of Mehmetçik who sacrificed their lives for the homeland during the Sarıkamış Operation in 1914. This special day recalls the epic resilience of our soldiers who fought with great sacrifice under harsh winter conditions, once again revealing the strength of patriotism, unity, and solidarity.
Sarıkamış is not merely a military operation; it stands as a symbol of faith, courage, sacrifice, and determination in the collective memory of the Turkish nation. This day of remembrance emphasizes the importance of learning from our history, without forgetting past suffering, and taking more conscious steps toward the future.
Through annual marches, programs, and commemorative events, the memory of our heroes who fell as martyrs in Sarıkamış is kept alive, and their heroism for the الوطن is passed on to future generations. Sarıkamış Martyrs Remembrance Day is a meaningful occasion on which we unite around our shared values as a nation and remember our martyrs with gratitude.
