It has been revealed that Non-Commissioned Officer Ramazan Yağız, who lost his life in the plane crash that claimed the lives of 20 of our soldiers, commemorated his childhood friend, Infantry Non-Commissioned Officer Senior Sergeant Emre Sevinç, who was martyred just a few hours before the crash on November 11, 2022, on his social media account. The story of these two childhood friends, who fell on the same day, broke hearts.

The news of the martyrdom of Ramazan Yağız, a Non-Commissioned Officer Chief from Bursa, who was among the 20 military personnel martyred when a C-130 military cargo plane belonging to the Turkish Armed Forces crashed at the Georgia-Azerbaijan border while flying from Azerbaijan to Turkey, reached his family home in the Çatalsöğüt neighborhood of Harmancık district. Turkish flags were hung on the street where the martyr's house is located, and a great sorrow prevailed in the village.
SHARED WITH HIS CHILDHOOD FRIEND, MARTYRDOM NEWS CAME HOURS LATER It was learned that Martyr Ramazan Yağız had commemorated his friend, Infantry Non-Commissioned Officer Senior Sergeant Emre Sevinç, from the same village, on his social media account three years ago on November 9, 2025, by writing, "May your place be paradise, my brave one, on the anniversary of your martyrdom," and that he himself was martyred just a few hours after this post. Villagers stated that the fact that two heroes drank the cup of martyrdom on the same day, three years apart, is a bitter coincidence of fate.
"WE WILL TAKE CARE OF OUR MARTYR'S TRUST" Çatalsöğüt Neighborhood Muhtar Adnan Çakmak, who stated that he lost his father in 1991 and grew up without a father, could not hold back his tears, saying, "Unfortunately, we have lost another martyr again on the 11th of November, three years later. We are very sad; our brother grew up as an orphan. May Allah make his afterlife beautiful. He was kind-hearted, loved people, and loved his country. He would come here whenever he had the chance. His father's grave is also here. He didn't have much leave, but when he did, he would come here. Three years ago, before boarding the plane, he had made a post to commemorate our village's son Emre Sevinç on the anniversary of his martyrdom in the Pençe Kilit Operation. Hours later, we heard that he too was martyred in the plane crash. We are very saddened; words are stuck in my throat. He was a married father of two children. From now on, we will take care of his trusts. We decorated our village with flags. Inshallah, we will bid him farewell here in a beautiful way," he expressed.
SHARED A PHOTO OF OUR MARTYR, RECEIVED HIS OWN MARTYRDOM NEWS 4 HOURS LATER Recep Kocabaş, a relative of Martyr Ramazan Yağız and also the President of the Engürek Village Culture and Solidarity Association, stated, "Ramazan was a brother we loved very much. He would say, 'Whatever is our duty regarding the association, I am ready to do it.' When we saw on the news ticker that a plane had crashed, we tried to get information immediately. Unfortunately, we reached the painful news. Our hearts are burning. May Allah make the place of all our martyrs paradise. Again, on the 11th of November, our brother Emre Sevinç was martyred. The news of Ramazan's martyrdom coming on the same date deeply saddened us. In the morning, he shared a photo of Emre on the anniversary of his martyrdom. We received the news of his martyrdom 4 hours later. It is a very painful situation for us. May our homeland be consoled," he said.
