Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has vowed to show no
mercy against those who are trying to divide Türkiye and foil all
sorts of plots on the 951st anniversary of the Malazgirt Victory,
Trend reports citing
Hurriyet
Daily News .
“We will show no mercy on anyone who is trying to divide our
country and overthrow our state,” Erdogan said during the
ceremonies in the eastern province of Muş's Malazgirt district on
Aug. 26.
The Malazgirt Victory in 1071 by the Seljuk Empire under the
leadership of Sultan Alparslan against the powerful Byzantine
Empire is believed to open the gates of Anatolia to the Turks
migrating from Central Asia. Erdogan and his closest ally,
Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) leader Devlet Bahçeli, attended
the two-day ceremonies in the region. Erdogan's Justice and
Development Party (AKP) and the MHP are partners in the People's
Alliance.
“We will never forget Malazgirt, and we will never let it be
forgotten. We will always keep it alive in our hearts and minds,”
the president said, describing the victory not only for Turks but
for the entire Islamic world.“Malazgirt was the first and mother
of all the other victories we have won in this geography.”
The people of Türkiye should stay united and defend its
togetherness, Erdogan said.“We have no tolerance against any
attack, play and plot. We will not forgive anybody that targets our
freedom that we symbolize with our flag.”
