With gratitude to our heroes who gave their lives for their country…
It is with deep sorrow that we have learnt of the tragic accident which has plunged our country into deep mourning: 20 of our heroic soldiers have been martyred in the military cargo aircraft that crashed whilst on a mission.
We pray to Allah for mercy upon all our martyrs who sacrificed their lives for their country, and we extend our deepest condolences and wishes for patience to their bereaved families, the Turkish Armed Forces and our beloved nation.
May our nation find comfort.
