  • Bütün Dünya-March 2015 the WORDS “THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN the MEHMETS and the JOHNNIES” ENGRAVED on the 1915 GALLIPOLI MONUMENTS DO NOT BELONG to ATATÜRK
    Bütün Dünya-March 2015 THE WORDS “THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MEHMETS AND THE JOHNNIES” ENGRAVED ON THE 1915 GALLIPOLI MONUMENTS DO NOT BELONG TO ATATÜRK. PART I. Cengiz Özakıncı While Lüleburgaz Atatürk Elementary School teacher Tahsin Özeken is walking in the Anafarta Valley on April 15, 1977 with a booklet published in 1969 titled “Documented Eceabat Guide”, he meets an old Australian who was lieutenant in the “ANZAC” troops that came to Gallipoli under the command of the English in 1915 and reports to him the following expression that the guide states to belong to Atatürk: "Those heroes that shed their blood in this country! You are in the soil of a friendly country. Rest in peace. You are side by side, bosom to bosom with Mehmets... The mothers who sent their sons from faraway countries! Wipe away your tears. Your sons are in our bosom. They are in peace. After having lost their lives on this soil, they have become our sons as well." “Documented Eceabat Guide”, First Edition, 1969 The Australian former ANZAC soldier is delighted by the words that declare as heroes those that came to invade Gallipoli in 1915; he notes down Özeken’s postal address and the words shown to belong to Atatürk in the guide. When he returns to his country, he forwards these words to the "Veteran Anzacs Association". The chairperson of the "Gallipoli Fountains Honor Committee" in Australia, Alan J. Campbell, considers to add this onto the monument in construction and asks Özeken in a letter dated September 12, 1977 to send him information accompanied by the documents related to the date and place that Atatürk said these words.
