The graduation ceremony of the National Defense University Army War School took place the other day with the participation of President Erdogan.
President Erdogan made a speech at the Diploma Receiving and Flag Handover Ceremony. Erdogan said, "How can we turn our backs on Jerusalem? Whoever says something to us from Jerusalem does not know the history of this nation. Who can build a wall between us and our brothers who we became martyrs side by side with? How can we close our eyes to the Palestinian lands that Mustafa Kemal fought not to let the enemy's boots touch?"
THE IMAGES CAUSED A STIR
After the ceremony, a video recorded with the lieutenants' mobile phones quickly caused a stir. The footage shared on social media showed the moments when dozens of lieutenants chanted the slogan "We are Mustafa Kemal's soldiers".
