Picture

‘What brought the Anzacs and the Turks together were external forces. After the war,
the value of appreciating the peace was born. That is why both sides understand
each other and do not consider each other as enemies. The unique bond between
these nations was quickly established and was sustained.’


‘The common message from all wars, past and present is: “Don't Fight!”’
