The same disrespect at Anıtkabir! They chanted "Erdogan" slogans at the ceremony.

President and AKP Chairman Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, accompanied by his delegation and force commanders, visited Anıtkabir on the occasion of Victory Day, August 30th. Slogans such as "Recep Tayyip Erdoğan," "The hope of the Ummah, Tayyip Erdoğan," and "Chief" were chanted during the visit.

While President Erdoğan and state officials were proceeding to the National Pact Tower, a group that had been taken to the Anıtkabir courtyard and waited behind the barrier chanted Erdoğan slogans.

After Erdoğan laid a wreath decorated with a star and crescent motif at Atatürk's mausoleum, a moment of silence was observed and the National Anthem was sung.

President Erdoğan and the state officials present at the ceremony then proceeded to the National Pact Tower.

He signed the Anıtkabir Special Book. Erdoğan made the following statement:

Dear Atatürk, today, as a nation, we proudly celebrate the 103rd anniversary of this great victory. Those harboring ulterior motives, just as they did a century ago, are not idle today but are pursuing insidious plans.

In the face of plans to destabilize our region, our state is taking every precaution to ensure its own security and the peace of its citizens. May your soul rest in peace.
