In his speech, the commander of the Security Forces, Major General Topaloğlu, thanked the families of the disabled mujahideen for raising such children and expressed his belief that they would remain faithful to their oath and sacrifice their lives for their homeland.
President Ersin Tatar emphasized his delight at being able to witness the honor of disabled citizens taking their oath. He also underlined the importance of the contribution of the disabled mujahideen towards the continuation of the existence of Turkish Cypriots in an independent, free, and sovereign manner. He emphasized that the struggle would continue under the star and crescent flag.
The ceremony ended with the singing of the Mujahideen March and a parade. The event symbolized the appreciation of the Turkish nation for the sacrifices of their disabled brethren who vowed to protect the country, even if it meant giving up their lives.
