"There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side in this country of ours. You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land, they have become our sons as well." - Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, President of Turkiye after the war, Turkish veteran of the Gallipoli campaign.

"Unless a nation's life faces peril, war is murder." - Ataturk
