Düşünceleri, eylemleri ve devrimleriyle insanlığa mal olan Büyük Önder #Atatürk cesaretiyle ulusumuza özgürlük, düşüncesiyle geleceğe umut verdi. Çağdaş uygarlık hedefine ulaşmak, O’nun ilkelerini yaşatmakla mümkündür.
Ebediyete intikalinin 87. yılında saygı ve minnetle anıyoruz.

Any ceasefire in the war in Ukraine should aim to lead to a peace deal grounded in the fundamental principles that underpin European security. If, instead, such a deal merely reflects realpolitik considerations, it is doomed to fail and will likely result in renewed aggression.
