         "Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives...You are now lying in the land of a friendly country.Therefore rest in peace.There is no difference between the Mehmets and the Johnies to us where they lie side by side here in this beloved holy country of ours...You,the mothers,who sent their sons from far away countries wipe away your valuable tears;your sons are now lying in our bosom and are sleep in peace.After having lost their lives on this land,they have become our sons as well."
