Nalbantoğlu said, "When he joined the army 5 years ago, he said, 'I will be a soldier, I will be a lieutenant, I will be a pilot.' Thank God he achieved all of them. He was very well-intentioned, very honest. He was like a lion. He reached his goals but could not continue. The homeland will be safe; we will raise many lions."
