A Meaningful Çanakkale Victory Commemoration Program was Organized with Our Vocational School Students.

On the 110th anniversary of the Çanakkale Victory,  our Vocational School  students carried out a meaningful event. In the organization attended by 200 students, 110 fruit saplings were brought together with the soil in memory of the victory. The event took place with great enthusiasm with the participation of school staff.

Supporting the '20,000 Saplings in the 20th Year' campaign initiated for the 20th anniversary of the university's establishment, our Vocational School students both contributed to nature and kept alive the cherished memory of our martyrs with this event. The program began with a moment of silence for the March 18 Çanakkale Martyrs and the singing of the National Anthem.

"We Keep the Spirit of Çanakkale Alive"
Our Vocational School Director Assoc. Prof. Dr. Mert GÜRLEK emphasized the importance of the event, saying, “On the 110th anniversary of the Çanakkale Victory, we aim to keep the memory of our martyrs alive by bringing 110 fruit saplings together with the soil with our students. We are happy to support the sapling campaign initiated within the scope of our university's 20th anniversary. Our young people are a great source of hope for the future of our country. Their sensitivity also makes us proud” he said.

Vocational School Deputy Director Dr. Lecturer Uğur TOZKOPARAN stated that the Çanakkale Victory is one of the greatest indicators of the unity and solidarity of the Turkish nation, saying, “Today, here, with this meaningful event, we commemorate our martyrs. If we are breathing freely today, we owe it to our heroes who sacrificed their lives. We remember all our martyrs, especially Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his comrades, with mercy and gratitude” he said.

Emotional messages from students;
One of the students participating in the event, Fatma TELLİ, emphasized the meaning and importance of the Çanakkale Victory, saying, “Being here today is a great honor for us. We decided to plant saplings to show our gratitude to our martyrs in order to keep the spirit of Çanakkale alive. We will work to carry this homeland entrusted to us further” she said.

Another student, Beytullah BAKUŞ, said, “The Çanakkale Victory is very precious for us Turkish youth. The saplings we planted today will remind future generations of the unforgettable heroes of Çanakkale. Maybe we won't eat the fruit of these trees, but those who come after us will rest in their shade” he said.

The sapling planting event was completed with the intense participation and enthusiasm of the students, and this meaningful initiative to keep the spirit of Çanakkale alive received great appreciation.
The event ended after the fruit trees were brought together with the soil.
